Lum and Abner – Mysterious Voice on Party Line Threatens Squire. 470311

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.

Lumburgers are still popular, but Lum is worried that people might be losing their apetite for them. With the court trial, and the Meadowlark restaurant closed for most of it, business has been going back to Luke Spears Lunchroom. Can Lum win back his marketshare?

What about that threatening voice that grandpap heard over the party line? Lum and Abner know it wasn’t either of them, but it has still put fear into grandpap. Who could have done it, and what’s it all about?

Squire enters, and is jittery as he orders some pipe tobacco to calm his nerves. He shares that he also got a mysterious phone call to threaten him. Can Squire tell who the mystery voice was? Lum wants to know if it happens again. Should people in Pine Ridge be worried? Is Lum beginning to think it might be Abner?
