Lum and Abner – Lizabeth And Pearl Leave Town. 420626

A black-and-white photo of Lum and Abner. Lum is on the left and has wavy hair and a mustache. He's wearing a suit and tie, and looks amused or curious. Abner is on the right, has messy hair and a beard, with exaggerated, surprised expression. He's wearing glasses and a dark suit with a bow tie. The composition suggests a comedic setting.

All the attempts to intervene, and patch things up between Abner and Lizabeth have only served to drive the wedge deeper. Today, Lum goes with Abner to his house to find the door locked. Should Abner break it down, and win the heart of his woman? That’s how it works in all the movies Lum sees.

Abner frets, but Lum seems to think the confrontation will be a breeze. How did this mess start? They review the misunderstanding about the love note that Lum planted in a Jot ‘Em Down store envelope.

Arriving at the darkened house, Abner figures that Lizabeth and little Pearl have gone to bed early. Will breaking down the door work to impress them? All Abner knows is that he’s hungry, and wants the ordeal to stop. Does the unlocked door mean that all is forgiven? A note on the table reveals that the girls has left town.
