Lum and Abner – Why Chickens Come Home To Roost. 400325

Chet Lauck and Norris Goff wearing a suit and tie smiling at the camera. Sitting in front of a radio microphone, one holding a script and the other adjusting his glasses -

Audio has low resolution, and slightly garbled. Today Lum and Abner talk about their upcoming film, and their expectation over adoring fans flocking to them. Especially the ladies. They also touch base on their renting the store to Squire for the duration of the filming. Abner gets confused over Lum’s figure of speech about chickens coming home to roost.

Try as he might, he just can’t explain it to Abner who comes up with some of the most imaginative mental images as he takes the phrase literally. Lum is saved by the bell when the phone rings, and the movie business returns to the forefront as the main topic.
