What happens
Lum and Abner show a carnival fighter named Iron Ike arriving in Pine Ridge with a thousand-dollar offer to anyone who can knock him out. Lum tries to persuade Mousey Gray to take the bout, but Mousey insists he is not angry at Iron Ike and cannot see a reason to fight him. Abner proposes a scheme to rile Mousey up with gossip about Iron Ike and Gussie, and the two friends soon find themselves worrying over a letter Mousey has written. The episode is a Lum and Abner radio serial from 1941, first broadcast on December 29 of that year on NBC, Mutual, CBS and ABC, with Chester Lauck, Norris Goff and Lurene Tuttle among the lead actors.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
