What happens
Lum and Abner face serious trouble in Pine Ridge after an inspector from the post office department questions them about an unauthorized post office and irregular dealings with stamps and money orders. Abner returns home to the general store, where he tells Grand Pappy Spears that Lum has been taken to Little Rock and that the pair may face several charges. Abner plans a sale to raise money for a lawyer, while Grand Pappy considers buying into the store and townsfolk discuss ways to help. The episode is part of the Lum and Abner series, first aired on January 5, 1940, on NBC, Mutual, CBS and ABC, 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.
