After his failure to impress the school teacher, Miss Emaline, Abner tries to cheer up Lum. Is the news of the telegram, and cancelled wedding going to be enough to patch up the lies that were told? Is she being unreasonable?
Lum tells how his sweetheart teared up over his deceptions. There’s just nothing to do when a woman puddles up like that other than just stand there. Abner figures his pal could make her jealous, but none of his list of available widows in town endear him to Lum.
Should Lum do something desperate? Suicide himself in the mill pond, or have some other accident? Abner goes into high gear to think up ideas when Cedric enters. Is this going a little too far?
