    Storyline

    Edit
    Floyd and Barney are on a fishing trip just outside of Mayberry. Set to head home, they realize Floyd's car is out of gas so they search for some at the nearest cabin by the lake. That cabin just so happens to be where three female escape convicts have taken shelter. Once inside the cabin, the convicts get Barney's gun and bullet away from him and hold Barney and Floyd hostage. —burvegas-1

    • Trivia
      Howard McNear's last appearance before a stroke left him partially paralyzed. He returned after nearly eighteen months off and made almost five dozen more appearances, seen almost always seated in a chair.
    • Goofs
      Barney and Floyd know someone's inside O'Malley's cabin due to smoke rising out of the flue, but inside there are logs to be seen but no fireplace (lit or unlit), and the log-burning cook stove isn't used till hours later when Floyd brings food into the house.
    • Quotes

      Deputy Barney Fife: [as seductive as a nervous little guy can be] Let's you and me dance.

      Big Maude Tyler: [surprised, as Barney had refused her before] You kiddin'?

      Deputy Barney Fife: No, I'm not.

      Big Maude Tyler: What made you change your mind?

      Deputy Barney Fife: [REALLY trying to be seductive now] You're beginnin' to get to me.

    On of the Funniest/Floyd Is an Idiot!
    When Floyd and Barney run out of gas as they pass through a woods, they go to the cabin of a rich man. He is away, but during this time three female convicts tke over the place. This brings the two guys into the arms of these sociopathic women. What transpires is hilarious. We think of Barney as being stupid, but Floyd takes it to a new level. Don't miss this one.
