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.

Still trying to iron out the lineage of certain Pine Ridge residents, Lum talks with constable Ben Withers. In talking about some inconsistencies in the family trees, Ben Withers tells his own scandalous memories of family trees.

Ben goes on at length to show how a family tree caused the marriage and divorce of one of his acquaintences. Interesting, but still not much help in figuring out who the real Hamstead heirs are.

To add to the number of heirs, Abner now claims to be part of the family along with grandpap and Squire. Cousin Abner and cousin grandpap soon realize that Cedric is Lum’s grandson. How is all this happening?
