She won’t be jealous of Lum spending his time with the new employee, will she? Sarge is such a disciplinarian that she won’t let the gents take time off, not even for Lum to coach the football team,.
Abner figures its going to have to be up to Lum to confront the bossy employee. Sarge insists on going over the books to tighten up the store’s financces. Has she crossed a line with Lum, or will her keen eye spot areas where funds can be better accounted for?
Just what do their unusual notations in the books mean? It’s not actually sales, but the running checker score between grandpap and Abner. Despite the confusion, sarge determines the store is in the red, and bankruptcy may be looming.
