Lum and Abner – Cedric Hires Mousey. 420818

Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

Lum counts up the cash on hand to see if it’s enough to cover the legal fees. Squire has covered the expense to retain lawyers to fight for the baby’s claim to a gold mine. In the store, Abner is confused over the way that Cedric got elected as president of the gold mine, thwarting Lum’s intentions. Maybe they can sell their old delivery truck they had when they had the bakery business a few months back. Is it worth $500?

Making a phone call, Lum may have an offer on the old truck that is currently held in a repair shop. Mousey Gray pops in to place an order to outfit himself for a new job. President Cedric has hired him to do some mining.

Good news comes for Lum. His old truck has sold, and it’s enough to pay the lawyer, and even a consignment to the repair shop for selling it. Who is the happy owner of the truck? Squire is sent a check, and there’s no obligation with him.
