A cryptic telegram has Lum and Abner on edge. They are still under doctors orders to relax after the ordeal and a silver mineshaft. Lum tells how he finally was in contact with Mr. Sutton, and he is no longer interested in the property. Instead of silver, there could be magnesium on the land.
The lost sale means that Lum doesn’t have the money he planned on having to get married to Miss Emaline. Abner figures all he needs is $2, and being justice of the peace Lum could marry himself. That would save even more money. But Lum explains why it wouldn’t work.
Look! Outside! A big car is pulling up! Mr. Chancellor arrives and begins to confidentially share his plans in a nutshell.But for the listening audience, we’ll have to wait for the next episode.
