With all the mystery over the diamond, and the stranger in town, Abner talks to Dick Huddleston. They review the instance of the gents waiting for the man over at Lum’s house. Getting spooked over a strange sound, the gents let loose with gunfire, and whoever was outside was scared off.
Dick offers Abner the advice to take the diamond back to the county seat, and sell it to the jeweler there. Just do it behind Lum’s back, so as to not get him riled up. Dick doesn’t believe in curses, but if it would make Abner’s nerves feel better, selling it would only be right.
Meanwhile, as Dick and Abner head out, back in the store Lum talks with US Quincey. Lum has his own surprise for Abner that Ulises can help with. Do the gents have similar ideas about keeping the diamond safe?
