    Where to Watch

Lum 'n' Abner invent a synthetic rubber for the war, then have trouble turning it over to the proper government agency. Alan Mowbray. Robert: Roger Clark. Jane: Mildred Coles. Mrs. Pomeroy: Minerva Urecal. Ray McCarey directed.

Radio personalities Lum 'n' Abner (Lauck and Goff) try to help the war effort by inventing synthetic rubber. They take their idea to Washington for some governmental advice, but before long they are the ones giving advice. They offer their commodity of common sense to senators and representatives who are completely bogged down in bureaucracy. Likable wartime fluff. The film earned an Oscar nomination for its sound.
