Lum and Abner – Squire Assembles Freak Sideshow. 480602

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.

Since Squire was hired, he and Cedric have been busy at the circus. Abner shares with Lum about some of the side show attractions that Squire has planned.

Inside the big top, Lum and Abner get a first hand look at Sqquire’s handiwork. Lum feels a little guilty at some of the misrepresentations.

Where did the exotic animals and displays come from. A Syberian Possum? A wild man from Borneo? Where’s Cedric?
