Lum and Abner – Lum Tricked Widow Cobb. 461014

Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

As Lum reads trade magazines for the construction business, Abner gets a little confused over what blueprints are. His debts with the church piano are behind him, but now Lum is committed to build that dream house for Mr Duncan.

Abner gets sidetracked as he and Lum talk about the contractors to use on the next housing project, and the relationship rifts between the parties involved with it. When US Quincey visits, Lum tries his hand at a sales pitch to build him a new place. All Quincey is concerned with is having his barn painted, a project that has never seemed to be accomplished over the years.

Lum shows off different architectual styles to Quincey. His problems grow when a phone call reports that the widow has visited her land, and shot guns are involved when personalities have clashed.
