Lum and Abner – Cedric to Carry a Gun. 470313

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.

With suspicions raised, Lum and Squire think that Abneer is greedy, and wants their money from the pearl to himself. Squire admits that it sounds a little crazy, but Lum is convinced that the Voice is Abner.

Lum is nervous, and talks about keeping his life insurance up to date, and his business rivalry with Luke Spears for the bus line trade only adds to his stress. Abner is seen prowling the street with a shotgun, and it doesn’t help Lum’s jittery state.

Paranoia strikes, and Lum thinks everything Abner tells him is just a plot to lure him into a trap. Abner tries to get Lum to meet with bus line executives, or to rest in the rocking chair, but Lum isn’t believing any of it. Is Abner up to no good? Or is he just looking after Lum’s welfare?
