Preparing to wind up Abner’s disastrous trial, Lum offers hiss final suggestions. He was sure he could get Abner out of all his charges. Lum didn’t exactly look bright when it was Abner who was supposed to plead insanity. The whole fiasco could have been avoided if Lum would have let his pal settle out of court in the first place.

Facing the crowd in the courtroom, the gents expect the worst. Grandpap gets the session called to order.
As Lum still plays his double role as lawyer, and justice of the peace, Ira Hodgskin has a note that sets the decision on its ear.
