Ben Withers and Abner talk about Lum’s narrow escape in getting married to the Widow Abernathy. As Lum tells more about the dissolved marriage contract, Ben interjects trivia about World Trade week.

Cedric enters, and has some regrets over the annulled marriage. Huh? What is it that he’s going to miss about the widow?

Meanwhile, Lum has been studying up on a new show format to put on their radio station. How would a hypnotism act be worked into a show? Can Lum hypnotize Abner? He decides to hypnotize Ben instead. Will the power of suggestion work?
