Lum To Become A Martyr

Description

Lum is locked up in jail and wants to look like he's having a hard time, so he decides not to eat. But then he asks for a really big breakfast—so big that Abner won't be able to bring it all at once!

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.
