Lum & Abner Rcv Lawsuit Notice

Originally Aired: June 27, 1935

In Lum & Abner #139, “Lum & Abner Rcv Lawsuit Notice,” the peaceful rhythm of Pine Ridge is shattered when Lum and Abner receive a registered letter—official notice of a $1,000 lawsuit from none other than Squire Skimp. Still recovering from injuries he sustained during a picture show at their Planetarium, Squire's sudden legal action stuns the duo. Meanwhile, Cedric battles sleep deprivation, Abner refuses to tidy up the store, and Lum offers free legal help—only to be harshly rejected by Squire. When Dick Huddleston delivers the letter, the gravity of their predicament sets in. A mix of backwoods stubbornness, comedic tension, and escalating stakes make this episode a standout in the series.
