Transcript

I don't believe that's our ring. I know, because I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstorm. This is Ramen Abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Well, Lums were off having anything more to do with the boxing business and promised Abner that he'd concentrate on building up the bakery with their new lucky loaf bread.

But something happened. He found out that Mousey had knocked out Iron-Eck one morning just for practice, and had challenged him to a return match when the carnival plays Cherry Hill. So, once again, Lum is a fight manager.

And today, as we look in on the little community, we find Abner running the Chatham Down store all alone. That grandpappy Spears has dropped in for a visit. Abner's on the phone. Listen. Well, I'm sorry, but we can't deal every no lucky little bread today.

No mom, not even one little. Well, I can't say one. It's time to let you know. All right. Goodbye. Dad blamed it all anyway. What's the trouble, Abner? Oh, that's Dad blamed on him. Here we're getting 100 million calls for lucky little bread, and mom won't stand a store long enough to do the day for him.

Well, what's the matter with him anyway? Why he thinks he has to be out training mouses for his boxing fight with all night. Well, I thought he'd already had that fight. Well, he did have that, but they're going to fight again over at Cherry Hill.

That's where the carnival is going to be this week. Then I'll be known. All right, fella wants to get whipped twice to be on me. Well, mousy thinks he ain't going to get whipped this time.
