Since he promised to teach Miss Emaline to roller-skate, Lum figures he ought to have someone teach him. Today in the Jot Em Down store Abner clears the floor and is ready to coach Lum on the fine art of not falling down too much. How did Abner learn to skate? It has been so long ago he can’t remember.
Instead, he thinks of training Lum like a bear he saw in the circus that could skate. What’s so wrong with tying a rope around Lum’s neck to lead him along? Squire Skimp visits to learn about Lum’s goal to learn how to skate. What kind of business dealing might Squire have in mind for Lum?
As Squire departs, the shaky Lum tries to make laps around the store. A phone call from Miss Emaline is Lum’s chance to talk her out of going skating, but she has already arranged a big surprise for Lum.
