The ballots have all been cast and counted, and the new mayor is Lizabeth Peabody. It is more than Abner can stand to have a feminine woman type person as mayor. Has he had a chance to speak to his wife? What does Lizabeth think of her landslide win as a write-in candidate?
Lum doesn’t see it as such a big loss. An untrained, unqualified person like Lizabeth will need a man to advise her. Lum can advise Abner, and Abner can then advise Lizabeth on the matters of running the town. Abner just isn’t too keen on holding the title of secretary to the mayor.
Pitching his ideas to Abner to show him how easy this arrangement will be, Abner warms up to the idea. A phone call from the new mayor soon gives the gents a glimpse of what they’ll be up against.
