Lum and Abner – Teaching Abner How to Play Polo. 480907

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.

Though Abner stood up to his wife Lizabeth last episode, he’s back to being henpecked. He shares his trouble with Lizabeth’s latest scheme. In fact, he’s too embarrassed to be seen in public.

Lizabeth wants him to not only ride a pony, but has decked him out in a custom made polo outfit. With bits compiled from Army surplus store shelves, Lum gets a kick out of the mixture of uniforms and additions from wars gone by.

Of course, Grandpap enters to coach Abner on the finer points of the game of polo. There isn’t much for Abner to do other than cave into the wishes of is wife. When all hope of seeing the end of his life as a laughing stock, Cedric enters to save the day. Will Abner actually let him wear that cool uniform?
