Threats From Black Pelican

Description

Someone broke into Abner's home in another theft. Is the criminal known as 'The Black Pelican' responsible? The new baby needs a name—will they call him 'Charlie Abner' or 'Lum?' Then the baby goes missing! The show's ending was removed from this episode.

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.
