Lum and Abner – Showdown with Elizabeth. 410612

Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

Abner is still in hot water with Lizabeth over his dressing up the store’s dressing dummy in women’s clothes. She got word that he was getting intimate with a strange woman. Lum talks to Squire Skimp to review all the details. To hide from Lizabeth, Abner has disguised himself, but Lum recognizes him anyway. The gang all play along to make Abner think his disguise is working. A comic ploy that the guys are reusing from an earlier season when Lum was going into hiding when he thought the police were looking for him, and trying to put him back in jail.

In his alias, Abner gets fed advice from Lum and Squire on how to man handle his woman. Will it work? In Squire’s words, “We’ll know when we see Abner again.”
