Throwing Grandpap A Coming Out Party

Lum attempts to help Abner understand how the nation's fresh rationing program works. Meanwhile, the boys get ready to throw a fancy party to introduce Grandpappy Spears to everyone, using the name Buster V. Davenport.

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.
