Lum and Abner – Squire Traces The Baby’s Past. 420811

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.

Just when Lum and Abner have thought they exhausted their means at finding out the babies identity, or what the coat of arms with him means, a new hope may arrive. Abner wonders why Lum is acting so strange and refuses to sit down. After some coaxing, Lum talks about the broken-down horse he bought. He feels he needs to practice his horsemanship skills, so he’ll fit in with the rest of the dukes, and knights, when their royal baby is reunited with his kingdom.

Squire Skimp arrives, but will he have some information, or just want to sell a king-sized insurance policy to the gents for the baby?
Lum feels offended that Squire took liberties to send off to a genealogy company to investigate the insignia of the coat of arms.

Both Lum and Abner think Squire has suspicions that the baby is a king, and only wants to horn in. A postcard comes that proves to add even more to the mystery of the baby.
