Lauck and Goff take their popular "Lum and Abner" characters off the radio and onto the big screen in this short feature. Fooled by a city slicker, they talk their neighbors into mortgaging their property and investing in a supposed pool of oil beneath the Jot-Em-Down Store. Of course,
no oil is found, but all is well in the end when the pair unload their property on the city slicker. A pleasant comedy with direction and script adequate for the material and even some showgirls for an added production number.
