Before the episode begins, Rob and Laura apparently had an argument and Rob left to cool off. However, while he was gone he had a series of misadventures...including getting hit in the face by a lawn jockey statue! But he didn't do anything wrong or illegal...which is odd as the police later contact him, saying they want to talk to him about allegedly punching some lady in a bar! He can't prove he wasn't there, as during the time in question, he was sitting in a drive-in theater...and not even watching the movie. Too may coincidences make things look bad for Rob. Can he clear all this up or is he destined to be spending time in the big house?

Considering this isn't the final episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and subsequent episodes aren't set in prison, you can safely assume Rob was able to extricate himself from this situation.

Overall, this is an enjoyable episode...with a few laughs and Rob NOT going to prison!

Joseph Cavella, who wrote episodes for GET SMART and THE MAN FROM UNCLE, kind of put the police touch in this classic episode. 10 STARS.

It's really bizarro stuff as Rob gets himself arrested!

He has an arguement with Laura one night, leaves home, stumbles and gets a black eye... all the while there's a fight in a local bar and the cops trace "half" of the suspect's license plate to Rob's own car. What a dilemma of dilemmas.

There's some very good actors at work here, including Philip Pine and Sandy Kenyon as no nonsense cops. Also veteran Bella Bruck plays the helpless victim, always fun to watch. The police lineup scene is classic Dick Van Dyke material you have to see. Bella has a good closing line.

Don't forget the movie in question is THE GUNS OF NAVARONE.
