“Two Weeks to Live” is a 1943 American comedy film directed by Malcolm St. Clair, featuring the beloved radio duo Lum and Abner. The story follows Abner Peabody, who is mistakenly diagnosed as having only two weeks to live. His business partner, Lum Edwards, sees an opportunity to make money by having Abner perform dangerous stunts, believing he has nothing to lose. As Abner embarks on a series of wild and risky adventures—including testing experimental drugs, performing daredevil feats, and even attempting a death-defying airplane stunt—the film delivers humor, slapstick, and classic small-town charm.
