AND IT'S GOT TO BE KEPT QUIET.

THOSE FELLAS ARE FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

T

RIGHT.

WELL, COME ON, GIVE.

NOW, REMEMBER, THIS IS TOP SECRET.

YOU'RE TALKIN' TO TIGHT-LIPS BARNEY.

THERE'S A SHIPMENT

OF GOLD COMIN' THROUGH HERE TOMORROW

ON ITS WAY TO FORT KNOX.

GOLD... YOU-YOU...

GOLD BRICKS, A WHOLE ARMORED TRUCKLOAD.

THEY'RE SHIPPIN' IT FROM THE DENVER MINT.

YOU KNOW WHAT ONE TRUCKLOAD OF GOLD BRICKS IS WORTH?

OVER $7 MILLION.

$7 MILLION...

OH, ANDY, THIS IS BIG.

THIS IS REALLY BIG!

IT'S ABOUT THE BIGGEST THING

THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THI TOWN

AND IT'S GOT TO BE HUSH-HUSH.

YOU KIDDIN'? YOU CAN COUNT ON ME.

'CAUSE IF WORD EVER GOT OUT, WE'D HAVE EVERY CROOK

IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY HEADED FOR MAYBERRY.

AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT TRUCK

FROM THE MINUTE IT CROSSES THE COUNTY LINE

TO THE MINUTE IT LEAVES.

WHAT ABOUT THE FBI, THE ARMY?

WHY DON'T THEY GIVE IT A CONVOY?

NO, THEY DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.

I KNOW THIS AIN'T THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO FORT KNOX,

BUT LIKE THE FELLA EXPLAINED,

WHEN YOU WANT TO SNEAK SOMETHIN' IN THE HOUSE,

YOU DON'T DRAG IT IN THE FRONT DOOR.

YOU GO AROUND BACK.

ANDY, THIS IS BIG. THIS IS GONNA TAKE PLANNING.

WE ALREADY DONE IT. COME HERE.

NOW, THE TRUCK'S GONNA ENTER UP HERE

AND IT'S GONNA PASS THROUGH MAYBERRY

AT 4:30 TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

THEY'LL MAKE A SHORT STOP AT THE FILLIN' STATION TO REFUEL

AND GIVE THE DRIVER AND GUARDS A BREAK FOR SUPPER.

WHILE THEY'RE IN THE DINER, OUR JOB IS TO GUARD THE TRUCK.

NO CONFUSION, YOU UNDERSTAND -- JUST CASUAL-LIKE.

JUST LIKE IT WAS JUST ORDINARY MONEY.

RIGHT, LIKE IT WAS ORDINARY MONEY.

WE GOT TO DO TWO THINGS:

FIRST, WE GOT TO MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE SECRECY.

NEXT, WE HAVE TO ANTICIPATE EVERY POSSIBLE THREAT

AND GUARD AGAINST IT.

YOU JUST LEAVE IT TO ME.

OH, ANDY, THIS IS BIG. THIS IS REALLY BIG.

NOW, I GOT TO GO CHECK THE ROAD

BETWEEN HERE AND THE COUNTY LINE.

WHILE YOU'RE DOIN' THAT

I'M GONNA GIVE THIS BURG A SECURITY CHECK,

MAKE SURE THERE'S NO SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS HANGIN' AROUND.

I BETTER SWEAR IN ANOTHER DEPUTY.

THE FIRST THING I GOTTA DO

IS CALL OFF MY DATE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.

SARAH, GET ME THE BLUEBIRD DINER.

NOW, REMEMBER, BARN--

SHH.

JUANITA? BARN.

LISTEN, ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT--

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE ME

A LITTLE RAIN CHECK ON THAT.

WELL, SOMETHING'S COME UP, PRETTY IMPORTANT.

NO, I'D TELL YOU ABOUT IT, BUT I CAN'T.

NO, NO, IT'S NOTHIN' LIKE THAT.

THIS IS SOMETHIN' BIG.

WELL, YOU-YOU'D NEVER GUESS THIS.

ALL--ALL RIGHT, GO AHEAD, GUESS.

NO. NO, NO, THIS-THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A TRUCK,

A TRUCK THAT'S COMIN' THROUGH HERE TOMORROW.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GIVE YA ONE LITTLE HINT:

IT'S WORTH $7 MILLION.

A WHA... A ROCKET?

NO. NO. NO, NO, YOU'RE GOLD.

COLD! YOU'RE COLD!

I DIDN'T SAY "GOLD." I SAID "COLD."

IGNORE WHAT I SAID ABOUT GOLD, JUANITA.

I DID NOT SAY "GOLD"!

HI, BARNEY.

AFTERNOON, ASA.

WHATCHA DOIN' OUT OF UNIFORM?

Hold it down!

YOU DIDN'T GET FIRED?

Lower your voice, will you?

WHAT FOR? I DON'T GET IT.

WHATCHA SHOWIN' ME THAT FOR? I...

I'M IN PLAIN CLOTHES, ASA, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.

OH. I'D HAVE KNOWED YOU ANYWHERE.

ASA...

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS HANGIN' AROUND?

NO... NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF.

NOW, YOU JUST GO ON AND DO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOIN'.

I CAN'T. YOU TOOK MY PAPER.

DO SOMETHIN' ELSE, SO'S WE DON'T ATTRACT ATTENTION.

WHY? THERE'S NOBODY ELSE HERE.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

BY THE WAY, BARNEY,

WHAT TIME'S THAT GOLD SHIPMENT

GOING THROUGH TOMORROW?

WHAT GOLD?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

WHY, IT-IT'S ALL OVER TOWN.

$7 MILLION.

MM-MMM.

THAT'S A HECK OF A LOT OF MONEY.

I'D SURE LIKE TO GET A LOOK AT $7 MILLION --

JUST TO SEE IT GO BY, EVEN, MAYBE WAVE TO IT.

BLABBERMOUTH!

HI, BARNEY.

WHEN'S THE GOLD COMIN' THROUGH?

NO COMMENT!

Man: WHEN'S THE GOLD COMIN' THROUGH?

NO COMMENT!

Boy: LET'S HEAR ABOUT IT, BARNEY.

THERE AIN'T NO GOLD,

SO DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU HANGIN' AROUND

WHEN THAT TRUCK COMES THROUGH, NEITHER.

THE TRUCK IS COMIN', AIN'T IT?

NO COMMENT!

HI, BOYS.

HI, SHERIFF. HI, SHERIFF.

WHOA.

HI, BARN.

TOOK LONGER THAN I THOUGHT.

HOW'S EVERYTHING HERE?

OKAY, I GUESS.

BETTER LOAD UP.

I THOUGHT WE'D TAKE A RUN OVER TO THE FILLIN' STATION,

CHECK THE LAYOUT THERE AND AT THE DINER,

FIGURE HOW WE'RE GONNA COVER THINGS TOMORROW.

WHAT'S THE MATTER-- YOU GETTIN' JUMPY?

YOU KIDDIN'? THIS IS OUR BIG MOMENT.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRAININ' FOR.

IT'S OUR BIG CHANCE. IT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I GOT A FEELIN' WE'RE GONNA BLOW IT.

WHY?

I JUST GOT A FEELIN', THAT'S ALL.

I GOT A FEELIN' WORD MIGHT... LEAK OUT OR SOMETHIN'.

WELL, HOW COULD IT? NOBODY KNOWS BUT YOU AND ME.

YEAH.

RELAX, BARN. THIS IS OUR SECRET.

LET'S CHECK THE FILLIN' STATION.

HEY, ANDY. HEY, GOMER.

HEY, BARNEY. HEY, GOMER.

WHAT TIME'S THE GOLD TRUCK COMIN' THROUGH?

BARNEY!

WELL, HE'S A DEPUTY. HE HAD TO KNOW!

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL IT.

BARNEY DIDN'T TELL ME.

I GOT IT FROM LAURA LEE HOBBS UP AT THE DIME STORE.

LAURA LEE HOBBS?

YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT LEAKED OUT, ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WHO CAN YOU TRUST THESE DAYS?!

WHO CAN YOU TRUST!?

YOU TELL ME.

WELL, NOT GOMER, THAT'S FOR SURE.

ANDY, THIS AIN'T GOOD.

THIS THING'S GOT OUT OF CONTROL.

YOU BETTER CALL IT OFF!

I CAN'T CALL IT OFF.

YOU BETTER PHONE THE MEN OR SOMEBODY

AND TELL 'EM TO STOP THAT TRUCK!

THEY CAN'T STOP IT. IT ALREADY LEFT.

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HERE AND DENVER,

THERE'S $7 MILLION HEADED FOR MAYBERRY,

AND YOU AND ME AND GOMER AND LAURA LEE HOBBS,

WE'RE GONNA BE HERE TO RECEIVE IT.

HERE YOU ARE, FOLKS -- GET YOUR HOT DOGS

WHILE WAITING FOR THE GOLD TRUCK!

GET 'EM NICE AND HOT

WHILE WAITING FOR THE GOLD TRUCK!

HERE ARE THESE NICE HOT DOGS!

STAND BACK. STAND BACK NOW.

COME ON. STAND BACK THERE.

GET BACK FROM THE CURB. GET BACK FROM THE CURB.

EVERYBODY GET BACK SOME.

YOU FOLKS ARE GONNA HAVE TO STAND UP OFF THE CURB

SO YOU WON'T GET YOUR TOES RUN OVER.

OH, AUNT BEE, YOU COME RIGHT UP HERE TO THE FRONT.

YOU FOLKS DON'T MIND MOVIN' OVER A LITTLE BIT.

OOH! MY! WHAT A DAY FOR A GOLD SHIPMENT.

I NEVER SAW SO MANY PEOPLE TURN OUT IN THE RAIN.

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?

WHAT TIME THEY COMING THROUGH WITH THE GOLD, GOMER?

THE TRUCK OUGHT TO BE COMING THROUGH ANY MINUTE NOW.

WELL, NOT THAT I HEARD OF, ANYWAY.

HEY, HERE COMES REGIS!

HIYA, REGIS.

REGIS, GET BACK ON THE CURB LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

REGIS, GET BACK TO THE WOODS.

YEAH, GO ON BACK TO THE WOODS, REGIS.

BARBARIANS! WORSHIPERS OF MAMMON.

REGIS, GO ON HOME.

YOU JUST COME DOWN HERE TO START AN ARGUMENT.

HOLD MY SIGN, GOMER.

GO ON BACK HOME, REGIS!

HEY, HERE IT COMES!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

GOMER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT SIGN?

I'M JUST MINDIN' IT FOR REGIS.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT...?

WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT THIS?

TURNED INTO NOTHING BUT A DAD-BURN PARADE.

YOU BEAT EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW THAT, BARNEY?

HALF THE TOWN'S TURNED OUT.

YOU WANT ME TO DISPERSE 'EM?

YOU TRY AND DISPERSE THEM, AND THEY'LL DISPERSE YOU.

HERE IT COMES! HERE IT COMES!

HERE IT COMES!

GOMER, GOMER, FORM A CORDON THERE.

WELL, HOW DO I DO THAT?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT KEEP THOSE PEOPLE BACK.

Y'ALL STAY BACK.

GET RID OF THAT SIGN, GOMER.

I CAN'T FIND REGIS.

WELL, GO LOOK FOR HIM.

REGIS!

Barney: GET BACK! STAY BACK!

EVERYBODY GET BACK AWAY FROM THE TRUCK.

GET THEM YOUNG'UNS OFF THE TRUCK.

EVERYBODY STAND BACK FROM THE TRUCK.

STAND BACK. EVERYBODY STAND BACK.

I'M SORRY. WORD LEAKED OUT.

I KNOW IT'S THE FARTHEST THING

FROM WHAT YOU WANTED.

IS IT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO CHANGE YOUR ROUTE?

LET'S JUST KEEP MOVING.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT.

FOLKS, HOLD IT DOWN!

QUIET. LET'S LISTEN TO THE SHERIFF.

YOU TELL 'EM, SHERIFF.

TALK IT UP, SHERIFF.

HOLD IT DOWN NOW.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU'VE SEEN THE TRUCK,

AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO SEE.

ALL THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW,

THE TRUCK'S GOING TO THE FILLIN' STATION

AND GET SOME GAS

AND THE FBI MEN ARE GONNA GO GET A LITTLE SUPPER.

HOLD IT. HOLD IT. HOLD IT NOW.

NOW, THIS IS GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.

AND IF YOU STAY,

YOU'RE INTERFERIN' WITH GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

SO YOU BETTER JUST GO ON HOME.

[ CROWD GRUMBLING AND SHOUTING ]

EVERYBODY GO ON HOME.

LET THE TRUCK THROUGH.

LET THE TRUCK THROUGH.

LEAVE IT. COME ON.

REGIS!

HAVE Y'ALL SEEN REGIS?

HEY, REGIS, WHERE YOU AT?

YOU STAND RIGHT THERE AND KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

EASY. EASY, BARNEY.

I TALKED TO THE DRIVER. NOW, HERE'S THE PLAN.

WHILE HIM AND THE GUARDS GO GET A LITTLE SUPPER,

GOMER FILLS 'ER UP WITH GAS, I GUARD OUT HERE,

AND YOU CHANGE PLACES WITH THE GUARD INSIDE.

IN THE TRUCK?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WITH THE GOLD?

GONNA LOCK YOU UP TOGETHER.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S WISE, ANDY?

THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS DONE.

CAN'T LEAVE THE GOLD ALONE FOR A MINUTE.

WHEN WE MAKE THE SWITCH, IT'S GOT TO BE FAST.

IT'S THAT SPLIT SECOND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN

THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN.

SO GET ON YOUR MARK.

WHEN I GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL...

ALL SET, SHERIFF?

ALL SET.

LET'S GO.

KEEP IT NONCHALANT.

THIS IS IT, BARNEY.

NOW.

OUT. QUICK.

PHEW!

WE'LL BE BACK

IN A FEW MINUTES.

RIGHT.

I WONDER WHERE THE GAS TANK ON THESE BUGGIES IS.

OH.

HEY, GOMER!

GOMER, CUT THAT OUT!

NOT THERE, GOMER. THAT'S A GUN PORT.

WANNA FLOOD THE WHOLE TRUCK?

IT'S IN THE BACK.

I GOT TO GET RID OF SOME MORE SIGHTSEERS.

FILL 'ER UP AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRUCK.

I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.

WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT!

NOW, LOOK, I TOLD YOU FOLKS TO GO ON HOME.

WE'VE GOT BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO HERE,

SO YOU JUST GO ON HOME.

I'M SORRY. WE CAN'T LET YOU SEE THE TRUCK.

JUST RUN ON HOME NOW.

WE'RE JUST GONNA GAS THE TRUCK UP,

AND THEN IT'LL BE ON ITS WAY.

BOY.

SAND?

HELP!

HELP! SOMEBODY LET ME OUT OF HERE!

HELP!

HEY, FELLERS.

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I ANSWER MY PHONE.

WE'VE BEEN HIJACKED!

ANDY!

HELP! ANDY!

ANDY, LET ME OUT OF HERE!

ANDY!

THAT TRUCK'S LEAVING AWFUL SUDDEN

YEAH, AND I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMEBODY HOLLERIN'.

WHEN?

JUST NOW, LIKE SOMEBODY YELLING "HELP!"

WHERE'S BARNEY?

RECKON THAT WAS HIM HOLLERIN'?

COME ON, GOMER.

YOU GOT MY DEPUTY LOCKED IN THERE.

LET HIM OUT. MOVE.

GOMER, GO GET BARNEY.

NOW, SUPPOSE YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU OPEN THAT DOOR.

GOMER, WHERE'S ANDY?

THEY JUMPED ME.

THE GOLD'S GONE.

WE'VE BEEN HIJACKED.

HIJACKED?

SHAZAM!

WHA...?

WAIT.

ANDY! ANDY!

ANDY, YOU'RE LETTING THEM GET AWAY.

BARNEY, LISTEN...

BUT THERE'S SAND IN THAT TRUCK.

THEY'RE CROOKS. THEY'RE GONNA GET AWAY.

BARNEY, LISTEN, LISTEN. THEY'RE NOT CROOKS.

THEY JUST TOLD ME THE REASON THEY GRABBED YOU,

YOU WAS ABOUT TO GIVE AWAY THEIR PLAN.

BUT THE TRUCK...

THE TRUCK WAS NOTHING BUT A DECOY.

A DECOY.

SHAZAM!

THAT'S ALL IT WAS.

THERE WAS NEVER ANY GOLD IN THAT TRUCK?

NO.

A DECOY. SHAZAM!

THEY SAID THAT WAS THEIR PLAN--

TO LET FOLKS THINK

THAT WAS THE TRUCK WITH THE GOLD IN IT

WHILE THE REAL TRUCK WENT BY A DIFFERENT ROUTE.

A DECOY.

SHAZAM.

BOY, IT FROSTS ME!

IT REALLY FROSTS ME.

NOW, BARNEY, THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO CARRY ON LIKE THAT.

THAT'S THE PLAN THE TREASURY MEN HAD.

THEY WANTED US TO FOLLOW IT.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY FROSTS ME?

THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T TELL US IT WAS A DECOY.

WELL, THAT'S THE PLAN THEY HAD.

I DON'T CARE. IT FROSTS ME.

THEY DIDN'T TRUST US.

OH, THEY TRUST US.

IN FACT, THEY TOLD ME THE REAL GOLD SHIPMENT

IS GOING BY WAY OF RALEIGH.

NOW, THAT'S TOP SECRET.

OH, THANKS A LOT.

WANT SOME COFFEE?

NO.

HELLO. SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

OH, HI, JUANITA.

HOW YOU DOIN'?

LISTEN, I'M GONNA BE OVER TONIGHT.

YEAH.

YEAH, YEAH, OPERATION GOLD TRUCK'S ALL OVER.

YOU WANT TO HEAR THE REAL CLINCHER?

THAT TRUCK THAT CAME THROUGH HERE WAS A DECOY.

YEAH, THE REAL TRUCK IS GOING THROUGH RALEIGH.

BARNEY!

I DIDN'T SAY "RALEIGH." I SAID "REALLY."

I'LL BE OVER TONIGHT RALEIGH -- REALLY!

I'LL BE --
