Lum and Abner – The Bashful Bachelor. 420403

Lum, Abner and their real-life wives are sitting together on a bench outdoors, near a pool. They appear relaxed and are smiling at each other. The two people on the left are wearing casual attire, while the two on the right are dressed more formally, with the person on the far right in a light-colored suit and bow tie. Trees are visible in the background under a clear sky, suggesting a pleasant day.

How to do the best with $10k for Pine Ridge, is the question that Lum and Abner have been struggling with lately. Lum has decided to run his own contest, and has put up a suggestion box. The trouble is that Cedric has stuffed it with multiple requests for more pinball machines. Other suggestions border on selfish needs of civic improvement. Improvements to the school, feeding the poor and needy, but all those requests for pinball machines are enough to drive Lum stark raving crazy.

Cedric enters, but the telegram that he’s delivering is thought to be just another of his pinball requests. More crazy suggestions are read, but curiosity gets the best of our heroes. The telegram sets the stage for an interruption from the current problem. It’s from Hollywood, and it announces the real-life movie that Lum and Abner just made. It’s the first time we get to see Cedric and Squire Skimp on the big screen. A premier is to be held in town. So, stay tuned to see how the movie excitement plays out in the next few episodes.
