In the Jot Em Down store, Lum fills in Abner on updates from Mr Chancellor. The artistic type man holds such an impression on Lum that he wishes he was the author’s papa. Of course, Abner thinks that’s just ridiculous.
Squire Skimp pops in for a visit. It’s time too make good on that short term loan that Lum signed for. Being short on cash, Abner frets over the possibility of losing the store to Squire. Lum gets on the phone to check on whether that check from Mr Chancellor has cleared, but a stranger approaches.
The man claims to be WJ Chancellor, and the man passing himself off to the gents is his son, but he’s no writer. His writings are bogus, and his check is worthless. Has the curse on the diamond finally caught up with Lum? How will he be able to cover the debts he overextended himself on?
