Burn the woods and sift the ashes (400202)

They can hold your feet to the fire (400219)

Aint no use to lock the barn after the horse has stole (400329)

Very similar to this one but done 5 years later.

Pull some strings (400103)

This is n odd one. It takes Abner more than 2 full minutes to say "huh?" after Lum says something about being able to "pull some strings." [I didn't include that 2 minutes in the clip.]

Lum reads a telegram to Abner (400122)

Revolutionary War (380608)

English (380608)

Both Abner and Lum are mixed up on this one. They both should be board for the simples.

Vice-versa (380413)

Strictly cash, no credit - this means you! (380404)

Cupid (380406)

Squire aint got a leg to stand on (380323)

Very similar - but different - than He aint got a leg to stand on (350926), both are in reference to Squire Skimp. Three years later, Abner still hasn't learned.

Missing link (380323)

Sending good money after bad (380318)

Pretty is as pretty does (380314)

Baby smoking cigars (380314)

Sorta like playin' checkers (380309)

Snow White's mirror (380228)

He aint got a leg to stand on (350926)

American spy (350923)

Tomorrow never comes (350918)
