Lum and Abner – Lum and Abner Operate a Bank. 410825

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.

Sometime has gone by when we have any existing episodes. Any troubles with Lum and Abner’s rabbits, or their adventures with the new farm they bought seem to have taken care of themselves. Today as we look in on Pine Ridge, we learn that Lum and Abner have started a new bank. Apparently there had been some troubles over a burglar alarm that Abner invented, and today they talk about how to make their vault safer.

Lum is concerned over their accounting procedures, but Abner sees the overage as profit, rather than cheating someone out of their cash. Abner is also a little confused over how earning interest is done. Lum relates to other banking woes, and Cedric’s habit of drawing checks for expenses for as little as a nickel. It all sounds like a great idea, but where does Lum and Abner keep their money?
