Lum and Abner – Coat Of Arms In Newspaper. 420727

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.

Investigating the coat of arms the baby had in a locket, Abner gets confused as Lum tells what the possibilities mean. Is the baby a little young to have joined a lodge? Is the baby actually a 21-year-old midget? Is the baby royalty?

Grandpap enters to hear the details of the locket. He knows he saw the insignia somewhere, and finds it in a recent newspaper. Before he locates it, he reads a couple strange news items on local families, and their family doings. Marriages, lost parrots, and elopements to Mexico.

Sure enough, Lum spots the insignia in the want ads. What new developments are in store?
