Lum and Abner are in debt to Squire Skimp for an additional $600. Mr Blair, their lawyer on the baby's gold mine case has informed them that he needed to hire two mining experts to sneak into the mine and make some tests to determine if it really is worthless as Mrs Logan's lawyer claims it is. The Squire advanced the money for this, but Lum went to the county seat bank today to borrow enough money to repay the Squire.
