The school board has postponed action on the resignation of the school teacher, pending on Lum talking to her to convince her to stay. Little do they know the rift between the two, and the legal injunction to keep him away from her. The gents need to think of something quick, so Lum will stop being in hot water with either the board or the teacher.
Phone calls from school board members frustrate Lum. Abner criticizes him on the way he is putting off the board members. Should he still call her despite the injunction? Everybody in town will know about it soon enough, and Lum will be the laughingstock of the town.
Abner has had enough and decides its time to stop ignoring the ever ringing phone. Who knows, it could be an important call for him. Maybe its an announcement too tell him of a prize he won from a contest. In the end, Lum has missed his big chance to reunite with Miss Emiline.
