Lum and Abner – Restring with Bailing Wire. 460905

Chet Lauck and Norris Goff wearing a suit and tie smiling at the camera. Sitting in front of a radio microphone, one holding a script and the other adjusting his glasses -

The damaged piano is back in the feed room of the Jot ‘Em Down store, and Lum tells Abner how he managed to fix it up with bailing wire for the missing piano strings, and tape on the damaged parts. He’s sure it’ll be just fine as long as Sister Simpson doesn’t play on it so hard. How’s the investigation going? Henry Lunsford has some worries that circumstantial evidence might lead him to arrest himself.

Lum seems to be in the clear for the damage he did to the piano, and gives a demonstration of how well he managed to get the piano back into tune. Grandpap arrives to play the piano to test it all out. Isn’t his only experience in playing a player piano?

He’s on a roll, and playing hot, and Lum has a hard time kicking grandpap off the piano. Lum gets Cedric to take the piano to the county seat to fix it up right. Is this the end of his piano tuning career?
