Horlicks: Every nursing and expectant mother should know the qualities of Horlicks. Recommended by doctors.Now let’s see what’s happening down in Pine Ridge. Abner had gotten himself into trouble when he was caught trying to take a letter from Squire’s house. Last episode, Squire let him off the hook if he would sign a contract, which he did. Today Lum talks with Abner about the poor judgment he had to sign a contract without reading it.Lum reads their copy, which reads as a confession to stealing the letter, breaking and entering, and taking blame for Squire’s injuries in the movie theater. It puts Abner in line to take the full blame for all their troubles. Abner gets confused at Lum’s figure of speech when Lum tells him that he should “look before he leaps.”Their conversation is interrupted when a stranger visits. It’s Mr. Ferguson, a lawyer. Just when Lum thinks he’s secured top-notch legal counsel to pull them out of trouble, Abner delivers the crushing blow: the legal expert was actually working for the opposition all along. With their full confession handed over on a silver platter, how will the storekeepers ever wriggle out of Squire’s legal trap? Tune in to find out!Horlicks Testimonial: A listener tells Carlton Bricker how Horlicks helped his wife rest comfortably after a serious illness—and how he quickly discovered its benefits for himself, too. (You’ve gotta love this vintage Horlicks pitch!)
