Finding themselves in trouble for selling illegal stock, the gents have gone out on a limb to get back their one remaining share from US Quincey. Today we find them behind bars, aerrested by Mousey Gray. Abner feels they ought to be out in no time, but Lum isn’t so sure. Abner is ready to take a baseball bat to somebody, but he’s to blame for appointing Cedric and Mousey as deputies.
Since he’s the town constable when uncle Henry is out of town, can’t Abner just set the prisoners free? As much as he might like his personal freedom, his civic duty, and sense of responsibility won’t allow him to let his felons escape. Even if its him. Besides they broke a lamp in the Quincey house, and the gents feel obligated for it.
Lum figures that Ulysses doesn’t know who broke the lamp, and a phone call to Mousey might soothe the matter over. Before the call can be made, US Quincey pops in, and in a surprising move, he gives the gents back their stock certificate.The gents are free to go… except now they need to find the key.
