Insurance Company Pays Off

Abner uses a shared telephone line to ask people to vote for him. At the schoolhouse, Lum gives a talk to the crowd. Elizabeth received $200 from an insurance company for Abner, even though his arms weren't actually hurt. Lum decides to sneak into Abner's home to steal the check back.

Lum and Abner was an American network radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff that was produced from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to "Pine Ridge" after the show's fictional town.
