Back in the Jot Em Down Store, Lum is mad with himself over burning down the tent where his money was stored. Abner tries to console him, but they are still out of cash, and they still owe Grandpap his money with interest.
Squire Skimp enters, interviewing the gents on capturing the robbers. Will Lum be distracted by sharing the events of surrounding and apprehending the crooks? There aren’t any ulterior motives behind the questions, is there?
Exaggerations begin, and Abner gets excited. Though he was there he can’t wait to hear how this works out. Through it all, Lum keeps doubting Squires’s intent behind the interview. Is Squire up to something??
After Squire leaves, Uncle Henry phones,
and Lum finds out the secret behind the visit, but we’ll need to wait until next time to learn the answer.
