The Abbott And Costello Show presents “Lou Inherits Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars,” originally broadcast January 21, 1948. This ABC radio comedy is also known by the alternate title “Diamond Jim Costello.”

After opening banter and a comic “dying” routine, Lou learns he may be in line for an $800,000 inheritance. When a family claim complicates matters, Bud and Lou begin a wildly comic search for the documents needed to settle the question. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are joined by Sid Fields as Lawyer Melonhead, with Susan Miller providing a musical performance.

The Abbott And Costello Show presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
