Lum and Abner – Retro Radio Podcast

Abner sells the Jot 'Em Down Store to Snake Hogan for cash but refuses to buy silver mine stock, leaving Squire furious until a sudden abduction turns Pine Ridge upside down.

Snake Hogan and Squire Skimp scheme to buy the Jot 'Em Down Store for $2,000 cash, plotting to swindle Abner into investing the payout right back into silver mine stock.

While Lum tries to teach a skeptical Abner about bridge and country club etiquette, the silver mine craze turns Pine Ridge upside down—culminating in a scandal involving shorts and bicycles.

Lum and Abner harmonize on "They Cut Down the Old Pine Tree" with Grandpap and Cedric—a four-voice showcase by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff—while Squire Skimp outlines plans for an exclusive country club.

Silver mine fever takes over Pine Ridge as Squire Skimp convinces Lum to adopt a flashy new wardrobe and reinvest his commissions into mine stock to prepare for high-society life.
