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.

The Voice had been revealed to be Squire Skimp, and today Abner wonders how Ben Withers put it all together. Lum says it was all a ploy to sell insurance to a scared town.

Doc Withers enters, and Abner is eager to pump the secrets out of him. What suspicious behavior, or motives did Ben spot to make him think the Voice was actually Squire?

There was also a matter of a small trap that Ben set to catch the ghost red handed. A phone call comes in from the jail that could let Squire off the hook. Other than putting a little scare into folks, what damage did Squire actually do to pin a charge on him?
