EVERYBODY, GO ON ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

GO ON, NOW. GO ON.

WATCH OUT FOR THAT FLYIN' LEAD, BARNEY.

SORRY, MR. MELDRIM.

BOY, YOU SURE COULDN'T ASK FOR

A BETTER DAY FOR A PICNIC.

YES, SIR.

HELEN'S MADE AN APPLE CRUMB PIE,

THAT ON TOP OF THELMA LOU'S FRIED CHICKEN...

...BOY, WE'LL BE IN FOR A STRAIN ON THE OL' SUSPENDER BUTTONS.

YOU KNOW, ANDY, I...

...I DON'T KNOW

IF I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO GET AWAY AFTER ALL.

WELL, I-I REALLY OUGHT TO BE STAYING HERE.

DARN PAPERWORK'S JUST BEEN PILING UP SOMETHING AWFUL.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THE TOWN PICNIC.

EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE THERE.

YEAH.

WELL, YOU GO AHEAD.

ME, I-I JUST WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT.

NOT AT THE PRESENT TIME.

YOU KNOW -- BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE.

NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT LITTLE, UH,

RUCKUS OVER AT THE BANK?

WELL, NO. YOU KIDDING?

GOLLY, NO. OF COURSE NOT.

NO, IT'S JUST THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE FACT

THAT I GOT THINGS HERE DEMANDING MY PERSONAL ATTENTION.

I'M GLAD IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THAT,

'CAUSE YOU DID EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING.

THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY HAD BEEN BANDITS?

GOOD LAWMEN CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE CHANCES.

NOT WHEN HE'S PROTECTING OTHERS.

AND YOU THINK FOLKS OUT THERE DON'T APPRECIATE IT,

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE PROBABLY SAYING

TO ONE ANOTHER RIGHT NOW?

THEY'RE PROBABLY SAYING TO ONE ANOTHER,

"BOY, THAT BARNEY FIFE SURE IS ON HIS TOES.

"YES, SIR, THE TOWN'S LUCKY TO HAVE

SUCH A QUICK-THINKING LAWMAN."

NOW, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ONE ANOTHER.

YOU REALLY THINK SO?

SURE, I DO.

WELL, YOU KNOW...

MAYBE I COULD HOLD OFF ON THIS PAPERWORK.

THE GIRLS HAVE BEEN LOOKIN' FORWARD TO GOIN'.

YOU OWE IT TO 'EM.

YEAH, YOU WOULDN'T WANNA DISAPPOINT 'EM.

PAW, IS IT TRUE ABOUT

BARNEY PULLIN' A GUN ON MR. MELDRIM AT HIS BANK?

THEY'RE LAUGHIN' ABOUT IT DOWN THE STREET.

UH, OPE, UH...

JEFF AND MR. LAYTON WERE TELLIN' THE CROWD.

IT MUSTA BEEN FUNNY.

WHY DON'T YOU RUN ON HOME?

DID YOU REALLY DO IT, BARNEY?

BARNEY'S BUSY. RUN ALONG, OPE.

NOW, LOOK, BARNEY, BE SENSIBLE ABOUT THIS.

JUST BECAUSE A COUPLA OL' LOAFERS AIN'T GOT ANYTHING BETTER TO DO...

NOW YOU'RE JUST BEIN' SILLY.

NOBODY PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO THEM TWO

AND YOU KNOW IT.

LOOK, WE'LL GO ON THE PICNIC

WE'LL GET OFF BY OURSELVES

AND HAVE OUR OWN PRIVATE PICNIC.

WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME, OKAY?

WHAT ABOUT THIS PLACE?

IT LOOKS FINE. DON'T YOU THINK, ANDY?

SURE. THIS IS FINE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, BARN?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S STILL KINDA CLOSE TO THE OTHERS.

IT'S NO FUN PICNICKIN'

PRACTICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TIMES SQUARE.

THERE'S NOBODY IN SIGHT.

ANY FURTHER AND WE'D BE OUTTA THE COUNTY.

THIS IS FINE.

MAYBE WE CAN FIND A PLACE A LITTLE FURTHER UP.

I JUST DON'T LIKE TO BE TRAMPLED ON, THAT'S ALL.

WELL, NOW, THIS IS JUST FINE.

COME ON, BARN.

WELL...

OKAY.

NOW, THERE YOU GO.

AH.

MMM.

ANY CUSTOMERS FOR SOME NICE FRIED CHICKEN?

JUST PUT UP YOUR HANDS.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I MEAN, HANDS UP.

THAT IS, I...WH...

HEY, LISTEN, WE DON'T WANNA EAT JUST YET, DO WE?

I KNOW WHAT LET'S DO.

LET'S GO EXPLORING THE OL' MINE CAVES.

OH, GREAT IDEA. HUH?

GOT THE FLASHLIGHTS AND EVERYTHING.

GOOD. NO, NO, NO.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN THERE SINCE WE WAS YOUNG'UNS.

WELL, YOU GO AHEAD.

I'LL JUST SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR YA.

WELL, COME ON, HELEN.

LET'S YOU AND ME GO.

BARNEY FIFE, YOU ARE REALLY SOMETHING.

YOU REALLY ARE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GO ON A PICNIC.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON A PICNIC.

SOME PICNIC--

SITTIN' AROUND WITH A WET BLANKET

WAY OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

THERE IT IS, UP YONDER.

THERE.

MM-MM.

NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK, ARE YA?

WELL, YOU'VE GOT A FLASHLIGHT.

YEAH, BUT IF WE FIND A NICE COMFY PLACE IN THERE

THE BATTERIES MIGHT RUN DOWN.

COME ON.

FUNNY HOW THINGS SEEM DIFFERENT WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER.

THIS PLACE USED TO SEEM AS BIG AS ALL OUTDOORS.

THINK MAYBE IT SHRUNK?

OR MAYBE YOU GOT BIGGER.

IT'S KINDA SPOOKY, ISN'T IT?

YEAH. WANNA GO BACK?

NO. IT'S KINDA FUN.

OKAY, COME ON.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WENT ON AND ON LIKE THIS.

OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY USED TO CALL THIS PLACE

WHEN I WAS A BOY?

NO, WHAT? THEY USED TO CALL IT LOST LOVERS' CAVE.

OH, REALLY? YEAH.

STORY GOES, THIS, UH

THESE TWO INDIAN LOVERS CAME IN HERE, AND GOT SEPARATED

AND NEVER DID COME BACK OUT AGAIN.

TODAY, IF SOMEBODY CALLS OUT, A VOICE WILL ANSWER.

OH, COME ON, ANDY.

OH, YEAH, LOOK.

WHERE ARE YOU?

WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?

ANDY.

YEAH, SEE, THIS INDIAN BOY AND GIRL CAME IN HERE

AND THEY GOT ABOUT HALFWAY IN

AND HE TURNED TO HER

AND HE SAID, "UGH, WE BETTER GET OUTTA HERE."

AND SHE REPLIED, "HOW."

AND HE SAID, "THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW, 'HOW?'" OH, ANDY.

WHERE ARE YOU?

WHERE ARE YOU?

YOU.

THIS'LL BE FUN.

YOU CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND LIKE THAT.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, LET'S GET INSIDE.

I DON'T LIKE THIS WHOLE IDEA.

I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL.

I NEVER DID LIKE CAVES.

OH, BARNEY, STOP WORRYING.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU FIND IN CAVES? BATS.

BARNEY! THAT'S RIGHT, BATS.

KNOW WHAT THEY DO?

FLY IN YOUR HAIR, LAY EGGS, AND YOU GO CRAZY.

ALL RIGHT, LAUGH. IT'S HAPPENED.

YOU WANT A HEAD FULLA BAT EGGS? I DON'T.

WHAT ARE YOU WORRYIN' ABOUT?

YOU GOT ON A HAT.

YEAH, WELL... OH, COME ON.

WAIT A MINUTE!

I HEARD ONE! QUICK, COVER YOUR HEAD!

WHAT IN THE WORLD...? COVER YOUR HEAD!

OH, BARNEY, LOOK, IT'S JUST A MOTH.

YEAH, WELL...

YOU DON'T WANT A MOTH IN YOUR HAIR, EITHER.

THEY LAY MOTH EGGS.

OH, COME ON.

YOU GO CRAZY FROM THAT, TOO.

WAIT A MINUTE, LISTEN!

DON'T TELL ME YOU HEARD ONE OF THE LOST LOVERS?

NO, LISTEN!

WHAT'S THAT?

ANDY! KEEP MOVIN'.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S A SLIDE!

GET OUT, QUICK!

IT WAS CLOSE.

ANDY...

ANDY. HELEN. OH.

ANDY, HELEN, ARE YOU IN THERE?!

BARNEY, YOU DON'T THINK...?

ANDY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

ANDY!

HOLD ON! DON'T WORRY! WE'LL GET YA OUT!

THEY CAN'T BE. THEY...

THEY JUST CAN'T.

I'M AFRAID SO.

THEY'RE IN THERE.

THEY'RE BURIED ALIVE!

OH, ANDY!

TAKE IT EASY.

WELL, LOOK AT THAT.

WE CAN'T GET OUT OF THERE.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET --

STEADY, STEADY.

WE'RE REALLY BLOCKED UP.

WE CAN'T GO THAT WAY.

HAVE TO SEE IF WE CAN'T GO ANOTHER WAY.

OH, ANDY, I'M FRIGHTENED.

NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF.

NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED ABOUT.

I WAS KIND OF LOOKING FOR A NICE DARK PLACE.

NEVER EXPECTED QUITE THIS MUCH COOPERATION.

LET'S SEE WHAT THIS LEADS TO.

COME ON.

I'LL GO BACK TO THE OFFICE AND GET THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT.

NOW, YOU RUN DOWN TO THE PICNIC GROUNDS

AND ROUND UP EVERY ABLE-BODIED MAN YOU CAN.

NOW, HURRY! THERE'S NOT A SECOND TO LOSE!

OH, BARNEY!

ANDY, HOLD ON! WE'LL GET YOU OUT!

I THINK WE'RE OUT.

YEAH, WE'RE OUT.

COME ON.

THERE WE ARE.

THERE WE ARE.

OH.

BOY, I NEVER DID KNOW

THAT TUNNEL LED ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE OTHER SIDE.

OH, AM I GLAD TO BE OUT OF THERE.

OH, BOY.

LOOK AT YOU, ANDY. DO I LOOK AS BAD AS YOU DO?

YOU LOOK NICE.

A LITTLE DIRTY, BUT NICE.

ANDY, I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THESE CLOTHES.

I CAN'T GO BACK

AND LET ANYBODY SEE ME LIKE THIS.

YEAH, WE BETTER GET BACK TO TOWN

AND GET CLEANED UP.

ROAD'S RIGHT UP THERE. COME ON.

HEY, WE'RE IN LUCK.

Helen: OH!

WE CAN HOOK A RIDE BACK TO TOWN. THANK HEAVEN.

WE BETTER HURRY BEFORE SOME OF THEM

START MISSING US AND WORRYING.

RIDE INTO TOWN?

BE WITH YOU IN A JIFFY, ANDY.

OKAY.

AM I GLAD TO BE OUT OF THIS.

WOW, THAT'S SOME IMPROVEMENT. THANK YOU.

I BETTER GET HOME

AND GET ON SOME CLEAN CLOTHES AND WASH MY FACE.

I WANT TO PUT THIS IN THE WASHER.

Man 1: WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM

TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN.

Newsman: HERE'S THE LATEST ON THAT EARTH SLIDE

WHICH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE TRAPPED TWO PERSONS IN A CAVE

AT THE TOWN PICNIC IN MAYBERRY.

DEPUTY BARNEY FIFE OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT

HAS ORGANIZED THE ENTIRE TOWN IN A MAMMOTH RESCUE OPERATION.

UNDER HIS GUIDANCE,

THOSE AT THE SCENE ARE DIGGING WITH MAKESHIFT TOOLS

WHILE HE IS RUSHING ADDITIONAL MANPOWER

AND EQUIPMENT TO THE DISASTER SCENE.

MORE DETAILS WILL BE REPORTED AS THEY COME IN.

I DIDN'T THINK ANYBODY KNEW ABOUT THE SLIDE.

I RECKON BARNEY MUST HAVE DISCOVERED IT.

POOR BARNEY -- GOING TO ALL THAT TROUBLE.

BLESS HIS HEART.

I'M SO EMBARRASSED.

I NEVER DREAMED THEY'D MAKE SUCH A FUSS.

WE BETTER CALL

AND LET THEM KNOW WE'RE ALL RIGHT.

WOULD YOU GET ME

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, PLEASE.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU WERE JUST SAYING HOW EMBARRASSED YOU FEEL.

I WAS THINKING HOW EMBARRASSED

BARNEY'S GOING TO FEEL WHEN WE POP UP.

THAT RIBBING HE TOOK AT THE BANK THIS MORNING

WON'T HOLD A CANDLE TO WHAT HE'S IN FOR NOW.

LEADING THE WHOLE TOWN IN A RESCUE OPERATION

WHEN THERE'S NOBODY TO BE RESCUED.

WELL, I GUESS THERE'S JUST GOT TO BE SOMEBODY IN THERE

TO BE RESCUED.

I WAS HOPING YOU MIGHT THINK OF THAT.

WELL, LET ME GO SLIP

INTO SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE.

HELLO?

SARAH, DIDN'T YOU JUST RING THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE?

OH.

THEN THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND.

FOLKS DO THAT SOMETIMES.

OH, SARAH, HOW'S YOUR MAMA'S HIP?

IS IT ALL MENDED

AFTER THAT FALL AT THE BOWLING ALLEY?

WELL, BLESS HER HEART.

TELL HER GOMER SAYS HEY.

RIGHT.

GOMER, WILL YOU GET OFF THAT PHONE?

WELL, SOMEBODY JUST CALLED AND I WAS JUST....

GOMER, THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE TRAPPED IN A CAVE.

I'M IN CHARGE OF A RESCUE OPERATION.

NOW I'VE GOT TO MOVE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

OKAY, BARN.

I NEVER WILL FORGET THE TIME

MY COUSIN GOOBER GOT HISSELF LOST IN A CAVE.

HE WAS TRACKING A SKUNK

AND HE FOLLOWED THAT SKUNK INTO THE CAVE.

AND HE GOT ALL TWISTED AND TURNED AROUND AND LOST.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE DONE?

HE JUST KEPT FOLLOWING

AND SNIFFING

AND THAT SKUNK LED HIM RIGHT BACK OUT AGAIN.

LANTERNS, SHOVEL, PICKAX, CROWBAR, TWO-BY-FOUR.

POOR GOOBER.

HAD TO BURN HIS CLOTHES.

WOULDN'T NOBODY COME NEAR HIM.

YOU KNOW THE ONLY ONE WHO WOULD COME NEAR HIM?

WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE?

THE SKUNK.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

ABOUT GOOBER.

HE MADE A PET OUT OF THE SKUNK.

WASN'T YOU LISTENING?

ABOUT THE TIME GOOBER GOT LOST IN A CAVE?

GOMER, TWO PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED IN A CAVE

AND YOU STAND THERE YAKKING ABOUT YOUR STUPID COUSIN GOOBER.

I'M SORRY, BARN.

GET ON THAT PHONE AND SEE

IF YOU CAN GET AHOLD OF SOME MORE VOLUNTEERS.

FIRST HELP ME GET THESE THINGS IN THE SQUAD CAR.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE TWO TRIPS.

HE AIN'T STUPID.

WHAT?

MY COUSIN GOOBER AIN'T STUPID.

HE'S UGLY, BUT HE AIN'T STUPID.

HE'S UGLY, BUT HE AIN'T STUPID.

YOU READY?

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.

OH, YEAH.

LET'S GO.

HEY, COME ON! COME ON, HOP TO IT!

DIG WITH ANYTHING YOU CAN LAY HANDS ON.

JUD, YOU BETTER GO ON BACK

TO TOWN AND GET MORE MEN AND EQUIPMENT.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, MOVE. LET'S GO, EVERYBODY.

HERE, TAKE THE SHOVEL.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE PLACE?

I THINK SO.

OVER THERE. THAT LOOKS LIKE IT.

OH, GOOD GIRL.

LET'S HOPE WE'RE IN TIME.

ATTENTION.

ATTENTION.

THIS IS DEPUTY BARNEY FIFE SPEAKING.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.

REPEAT: AN EMERGENCY.

APPROACH THE CAVE ENTRANCE SLOWLY.

SLOWLY!

DO NOT PANIC.

REPEAT: DO NOT PANIC.

WE NEED ALL AVAILABLE DIGGING TOOLS.

SHERIFF TAYLOR AND MISS CRUMP NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN

TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR NEIGHBOR.

REPEAT: NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN

TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR NEIGHBOR.

OH!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

FINE.

YOU SURE?

YEAH.

HOW'S IT GOING?

A AWFUL LOT OF DIRT TO MOVE.

ALL RIGHT, YOU MEN GET IN THERE AND SPELL HIM.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

ANY SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER SIDE?

NOPE. NOTHING.

LOOK, BARNEY, YOU SURE THEY WENT IN THERE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN THIS MIGHT BE

ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR WILD GOOSE CHASES.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP, DON'T

BUT DON'T GET IN THE WAY.

WE'RE THROUGH!

WE'RE THROUGH!

Barney: ANDY?

HELEN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

ANDY, HELEN, ARE YOU IN THERE?

IT'S THEM!

WE FOUND THEM!

COME ON, BRING THE LANTERN.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

BARNEY, THANK HEAVENS YOU GOT HERE IN TIME.

TAKE IT EASY. LET SOME AIR IN HERE.

I KNEW YOU'D COME, BARNEY.

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT. JUST GIVE US A HAND.

COME ON. HELP HER UP.

THERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT, LET US THROUGH.

OUT OF THE WAY.

COME ON, LET US THROUGH.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, LET US THROUGH.

YOU TWO ALL RIGHT, SHERIFF?

YEAH. SURE WAS A CLOSE CALL, THOUGH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'D HAVE DONE

IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR BARNEY.

DON'T TIRE YOURSELF, ANDY.

JUST BREATHE IN THE OLD OXYGEN.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY OF US IN THERE.

YOU, JUD, OR TONY-- ANYBODY.

I'D SAY WE'RE PRETTY LUCKY

TO HAVE A FELLA LIKE BARNEY FIFE AROUND.

GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, SHERIFF.

THAT BARNEY'S REALLY QUITE A GUY.

YOU'RE RIGHT. HE CERTAINLY IS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY BOTH ARE.

Jud: CONGRATULATIONS, BARNEY.

NICE GOING, BARNEY.

THANKS, BARNEY.

HEY, BARN? HI, ANGE.

BOY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE PIECE THEY WROTE ABOUT YOU IN THE PAPER.

GOT YOUR PICTURE AND EVERYTHING.

OH, NOW, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GO AND DO THAT?

NO NEED FOR A LOT OF FUSS AND FEATHERS.

SIMPLE MATTER OF A LAWMAN DOING HIS JOB.

DOING IT RATHER WELL, GRANTED,

BUT JUST A MAN DOING HIS JOB.

IT COVERS MOST OF THE FRONT PAGE.

I WISH THEY'D HAVE CHECKED WITH ME FIRST.

I'D HAVE TOLD THEM TO JUST FORGET IT.

ALL THIS NEWSPAPER STUFF...

JUST DOESN'T FIT IN WITH MY IDEA OF A PUBLIC SERVANT.

I MEAN, THIS WAS A JOINT EFFORT OF A TOWN,

NOT JUST ONE INDIVIDUAL,

AND WHAT THEY REALLY OUGHT TO DO IS JUST PLAIN FORGET IT.

WELL, THAT CERTAINLY IS A FINE ATTITUDE.

WELL, IT'S THE WAY IT'S GOT TO BE.

I MEAN...

I GOT 'EM, BARNEY-- ALL THE PAPERS THEY HAD LEFT.

HERE'S THE CHANGE FROM THE $10 YOU GAVE ME.

THEY'RE HAVING THIS SCRAP-PAPER DRIVE,

AND, UH, WELL, I WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE,

AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAPER OF MY OWN.

OH, JUST FORGET IT. NO, I MEAN, IT'S A GOOD CAUSE.

I'D FORGET IT.

IF I WAS YOU, I'D JUST FORGET IT.

NO, JUST FORGET IT.

JUST FORGET IT.
