Lum and Abner – Arrested. 450717

There’s one last hold out in getting back the illegal shares of stock the gents had been selling, and its time to take drastic measures to get it. Lum and Abner hide behind the shrubbery at US Quincey’s house. They had phoned his home to be sure he was planning to be out.

Lum seems to have all the bases covered, even in keeping Cedric distracted as acting deputy. The gents wonder why Ulysses just doesn’t sell the stock back for a little profit. The Quincey’s blow out the lamp, and no sooner do they depart, burglars pry open the window.

Mousey Gray happens along, and Abner tries to enlist his help. Thanks to their friend, the gents are soon fumbling around in the dark. The distracted thieves look at an old photo album. Suddenly Lum gets cold feet, but before they can get away, Mousey exercises his power of being Cedric’s new deputy. Busted.
