What happens
Lum and Abner run their store in Pine Ridge, which is now crowded with rabbits they recently acquired. Lum spends his time writing up the books for the rabbit business while Abner grows impatient with him. Their talk turns to feed costs, overhead, and whether the business is making money, and a quarrel breaks out between the two partners. Cedric, who helps with the alfalfa, is drawn into their argument. Their dispute is interrupted by a visitor who arrives to assess the value of their property.

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.
