The Bashful Bachelor is a 1942 American film directed by Malcolm St. Clair.

It is the second of seven films based on the Lum and Abner radio series created by and starring Chester Lauck and Norris Goff.

And because Lum doesn't have the guts to approach the woman he is in love with, Geraldine (ZaSu Pitts), and propose to her once and for all, he lays a complex scheme to impress her in a fake "rescue" mission.

Lum doesn't get out of trouble until the town sheriff (Irving Bacon) finds widow Widder's disappeared husband.
