What happens
Lum and Abner are threatened with removal from Pine Ridge after a petition demands they return a mountain lion, Ervin, that escaped during a failed hunting expedition. Grandpappy Spears gathers signatures around the store while Lum and Abner try to persuade Cedric to recapture the animal. Cedric refuses at first, scratched and reluctant, and offers are raised. The episode is part of the Lum and Abner radio series, first broadcast November 28, 1941, with Chester Lauck, Norris Goff and Lurene Tuttle in the lead roles.

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.
