Lum and Abner – Abner Is Stranded in Phoenix City, AL 480304

Two men dressed in traditional Hawaiian attire, Lum and Abner, are seen mid-dance in the center of a small store. Lum, on the left, is playing a ukulele while Abner on the right is swaying his hips and waving his arms. A small crowd is gathered around them, some clapping and others smiling. The store itself is cluttered with various items, including shelves of canned goods and hanging clothes, giving it a cozy and lived-in feel.

Ben Withers is in the Jot ‘Em Down store to ask Lum for money. Will he be able to make the trip to the county seat?

A long distance phone call is from Abner. He is in Phoenix City Alabama. Will he figure out how to read his map? Will Ben be able to offer some advice to Abner? Part of his trouble is the constant arguement that he’s having with his wife Lizabeth.

Night is falling, and Grandpapworries whether Lum has made it to the county seat. Ben Withers fills him in on Abner’s misadventure, just as a car pulls in. Lum is back, and a telegram brings more word on Abner.
