Lum and Abner – Doc Withers’ Testimony. 470217

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.

After his stunt during his testimony, Abner is given a talking to from their lawyer about his mistake. Have Lum and Abner pushed the judge’s frustration point to the limits yet?

Doc Benjamin Franklin Withers takes the stand for questioning. Will his account of the events in the Meadowlark Restaurant on the day in question shed any light for the judge?

In his typical absent minded way, doc somehow escalates the simple matter of who owns the pearl, into a murder case.

PS: Though off scene, cedric is claimed to be harrassing the judge by singing a song, Open the Door Richard. It was a popular song of the times, and in some Jack Benny episodes from this era, you can sometimes hear his neighbor Ronald Coleman singing parts of it during comedy routines.
