Lum and Abner – Divide the Pearl Money. 470306

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 winning an odd amount of money, Lum and Abner debate at how to split the difference. Huh? Why do they need to split it in amounts of hundreds of dollars? It’s still divisible by 50’s.

Squire and grandpap enter, and Lum shares his desire to split the money 4 ways. Grandpap is a little cantankerous at not getting the full amount, but Squire knows not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Can grandpap explain his objections?

Will the sharing in the money make Lum feel any better? No doubt it makes Squire happy. Will the four gents all be reconciled and be friends again?
