Lum and Abner, the two lovable old characters from the country store in Jot 'Em Down, have been in trouble with the law after running a post office without a license. Lum and Abner have hidden from the authorities, and Abner has been jailed in Mexico, Missouri. The partners argue over the blame, then reconcile and turn to the store's money troubles. They search the county seat paper for furniture to sell and find an advertisement that offers a possible solution to their financial problems.
With Lum, Abner.
