Lum and Abner – Abner Loses Control. 450524

Lum is in Dick Huddleston’s store to tell him all about the new delivery boy. Everybody is calling in for grocery orders, just to see the mechanical man in action. Why is their expenses going up if they don’t have to pay Robert a wage?

Abner is a changed man with the power he has in controlling Robert. Abner the master has been standing up to folks, namely grandpap who wanted to chop up the robot after a run in with him. Dick gets to witness Abner in action as he guides Robert around town.

When Robert has made a wrong turn, Abner doesn’t want to take blame, and thinks the robot is just looking for a place to rest.

Cedric keeps reporting in, but no sign of Robert is to be found. Can it get any worse? Abner can’t get his remote control to turn off.
