Lum and Abner – Lum Will Prepare Roast Duck. 461211

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.

Still looking for a specialty for his restaurant menu, Lum wants to cook a duck for Duncan Hines when he visits. Both Lum and Abner get confused about lighting food on fire when it’s served. Do they roll those crepe things up and smoke them like a cigar? What does it mean to roast a duck with truffles? Is that like putting those little pants on lamb chops?

Doc Withers enters with news from friends, and the clever things they say. Abner doesn’t know the people, though Doc thinks he ought to. Lum is preoccupied with perfecting his recipe as Doc rambles on.

Usually doc is missing animals, or other objects, but today he tells how he found the duck that Lum is waiting for. It was delicious.
