A vintage advertisement for the radio show "Lum and Abner." It features black and white illustrations of two characters, each with distinct facial expressions. The text encourages listeners to "Listen and Laugh" and indicates the show airs "4 DAYS—EACH WEEK." The advertisement mentions sponsorship by Alka-Seltzer and One-A-Day Vitamin Tablets. It includes the station name "WAGA" and lists the broadcast times as "8:15 EWT-P.M.-7:15 CWT."

The delivery of the pamphlets that Diogenes is printing is expanding to other cities. Today, Lum tells Abner that he needs to build his own office in the store. Why is that? Won’t he be too busy travelling to make deliveries to be in an office for long? Don’t worry, he explains his reasoning, and a little of his experiences in handing out the pamphlets on the train.

Mousey Gray is on hand with a payment of sausage to apply to the bill of a creditor. What’s the news that Diogenes has for friend Lum? Lum, the faithful harbinger of honesty has been asked to deliver a package of pamphlets to Ft Smith. Armed with a password, and a secret sign, the arrangements are made. As Lum wonders over the new details, he shares his travel plans with Abner. Well, as much as the secrecy will allow.

Is Lum getting in too well with Diogenes? Will Abner, or anyone else have a chance in the $10k reward? In all the excitement Abner discovers a mix up in the package that Lum raced out the door with.
