Lum tries to talk Mousey into naming the apartment building after himself instead of the name originally picked. Since Mousey thought up the plan, and it’s just like a mother to him, he insists on naming the apartment building after himself. Will the soft-spoken man hold his ground and be firm with Lum?
Mousey tries to show how firm he can be, but after a phone call from his overbearing wife, Gussie, he ends up being henpecked instead, Mousey also reveals that his mother is a lady black smith back in Iowa. She’s just liked a father to him.
The guys go over how the floor plan of the apartments ought to be laid out. Ideas include a store on every floor, including a black smith shop provided by Mousey’s mom. With all the conveniences, nobody will have a need to ever leave their home. Imagine that. Abner even suggests a movie theater, but the discussion gets Mousey’s dander up and he phones to give Gussie an earful. Will he actually, do it?
