In the Jot Em Down store, Abner gets a phone call with mixed blessings. Squire Skimp has been in the hospital, and will be there for the next few days. As sad as that is, the good news is that he won’t be able to act on foreclosing the mortgages he holds on the gents.
Cedric enters to tell about clothing needed to support the troops. Knighted headwear… oh wait, that’s knitted headwear. The gents send Cedric to gather clothes from the feed room, and talk about the good work our troops are doing, and Abner’s flat footedness. They’re just proud to help out, and Abner sends Cedric to his house to collect more clothing from Lizabeth.
When Abner finds that Cedric cleaned out the store room of clothing, including his own coat, he heads out to find the lad. Meanwhile, Lum burns up the party line, to ask around if others have seen Cedric. The boy is found, and Lum searches the pile of blue serge suits he has collected. A receipt in a coat pocket finds Abner’s, and tells on him with the truth about the sale of the diamond.
