Lum Edwards is annoyed with his partner in Pine Ridge's Jot-em-Down general store Abner Peabody because Abner has swapped their delivery car for a racehorse. Lum is also too timid to propose to Geraldine so he involves Abner in a "rescue" effort which nearly gets both of them killed. They try again and this time Geraldine is impressed. Lun writes a proposal note but Abner, by mistake, delivers it to the Widder Abernathy who has been ready to remarry for years. This puts Lum in a peck of trouble until the sheriff appears with the Widders long-gone and hiding husband... (from IMDb)
