Lum and Abner – Discuss First Day of Spring. 480322

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.

On a cold day in Pine Ridge, Ben Withers pops in to warm himself by the stove. Lum is worried over the mental state of Abner. What does he have planned for his friend?

Abner comes in as Lum goes out to brave the windy, snowy weather. Ben tries to tell Abner about the vernal equinox, and how it marks the first day of spring.

Cedric enters with his new spring fashion, and unconcerned about the nasty weather. He and Abner swap ideas about how spring arrives, and who brings in the spring weather. Is it elves, or that Vern Equinox fellow?
