10 Stars. Dedicated to all us Dobie fans. A cool mystery, possibly inspired by the HONEYMOONERS!
Herb, Dobie and Maynard deliver groceries to the Osborne mansion and Clarissa's (Doris Packer) niece, Alicia (Georgi Griffith) falls in love with Dobie!
More over, Dobie falls in love with her --and is invited, along with Herb and Maynard to spend the weekend at the estate!
No bed of roses... Mrs. Osborne warns the guys, should anything out of the ordinary happen --they're going to get it! And just like that, her diamond necklace disappears!!! Could it be Maynard, who has been sleepwalking?
Wait for the ending!
Best bit; Clarissa shouting at everyone from her bedroom window with a megaphone, acting like a warden at a prison. Doris Packer is a hoot in this episode, having a blast. If you watch closely, Doris, at times, looks like she's about to laugh.
Hilarious mystery, with the usual late night escapades, and Maynard still sleepwalking --and he has company? Written by series regular Arnold Horwitt, who wrote 22 episodes for the show, later joining the PATTY DUKE SHOW. Horwitt may have borrowed from the famous HONEYMOONERS episode where Norton had an outrageous sleepwalking problem.
This was the only episode pretty Giorgi Griffith appeared in. Special guest star is Willard Waterman, playing a cop, best known as the GREAT GILDERSLEEVE.
A Dobie and Maynard Classic. From SEASON 4 remastered.
