STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNY HOWARD...

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

WELL, I STILL SAY IT'S SCRATCHED.

WELL, YOU CAN'T HARDLY SEE IT.

WELL, IT'S SCRATCHED.

WELL, IT'S JUST A LITTLE SCRATCH.

WELL, BUT ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S SCRATCHED.

Floyd: YEAH. WHAT'S THE MATTER, BOY?

OH, THE CAR'S SCRATCHED.

GOMER'S GOT ONE OF THEM NEW-STYLE GAS NOZZLES.

YOU KNOW, THE KIND THAT SHUTS ITSELF OFF AUTOMATIC

WHEN THE TANK'S FULL.

DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANYBODY THERE.

WELL, IT SCRATCHES UP YOUR CAR.

WELL, HOW WOULD THAT SCRATCH YOUR CAR?

WELL, BECAUSE THERE AIN'T ANYBODY WATCHING.

AND WHEN IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF, IT KIND OF JUMPS.

NOW, WHEN I PAY A MAN GOOD MONEY TO FILL MY TANK,

I WANT HIM BACK THERE FILLING IT, NOT SOME GADGET.

IT'S THE SAME IN BARBERING.

THEY GOT THOSE LITTLE ELECTRIC MACHINES NOW, YOU KNOW,

WHERE YOU JUST PUSH A BUTTON

AND IT OOZES OUT READY-MADE LATHER.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT, FLOYD?

WHAT'S WRONG?

WELL, I'D RATHER MIX MY OWN LATHER IN A SHAVING MUG.

I KIND OF LIKE THE SOUND THE BRUSH MAKES AGAINST THE MUG.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A KIND OF A CLEP, CLEP, CLEP SOUND.

WELL, WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO

WITH WHAT I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, JUST LIKE YOU SAID -- GADGETS.

EVERYTHING IS GADGETS.

WELL, IT AIN'T THE SAME THING, FLOYD.

I CAN UNDERSTAND AN ELECTRIC LATHER MAKER.

BUT YOU'RE NOT A BARBER!

YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MIXING LATHER IN A MUG

WITH A BRUSH AND EVERYTHING.

OH, CLEP...

THAT'S SUCH A NICE SOUND.

HI, THERE, OPE.

HEY, OPE, YOU WALKING IN YOUR SLEEP?

OH, HI, PA. I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THE BASEBALL GAME

ON MY TRANSISTOR. HM.

IT'S A FINE THING WHEN THE ONLY WAY A FATHER

CAN SPEAK TO HIS SON IS BY BUYING

A SPOT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE RADIO.

SPOT ANNOUNCEMENT!

THAT -- THAT'S FUNNY, ANDY.

LISTEN, TELL THE BOYS GOING CAMPING WITH US TOMORROW

I WANT THEM TO MEET ME HERE AT 5:00.

HE STRUCK HIM OUT!

DID YOU HEAR ME?

TELL THE BOYS GOING CAMPING WITH US TOMORROW

I WANT THEM TO MEET ME AT THE COURTHOUSE AT 5:00.

OH. OKAY, PA.

MM.

EASY LIVING, AUTOMATIC GAS NOZZLES,

TRANSISTOR RADIOS.

ELECTRIC LATHER MAKERS.

IT AIN'T THE SAME THING, FLOYD.

WELL, WE'LL GET AWAY FROM ALL THAT

WHEN WE GO CAMPING TOMORROW.

BESIDES, IT COMES OUT COLD.

THOSE ELECTRIC LATHER MAKERS.

YOU KNOW, THEY OOZE OUT COLD LATHER.

NOW, IN A MUG, YOU MIX IT WITH HOT WATER,

AND YOU CAN MAKE HOT LATHER.

YOU DON'T LIKE THEM ELECTRIC ONES, DO YOU, FLOYD?

NO, I DON'T. NO. AND YOU KNOW WHY?

YEAH, WE KNOW WHY.

BECAUSE OF THE SOUND THE BRUSH MAKES IN THE MUG.

ISN'T THAT A NICE SOUND? CLEP, CLEP.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THAT SCRATCH FROM HERE.

NOW, FLETCHER ROBERTS WILL TAKE US

AS FAR AS THE FIRE ROAD IN HIS PICKUP TRUCK,

AND WE CAN HIKE IN FROM THERE.

NOW, BOYS, WHEN WE GET THERE,

WE'VE ALL GOT TO SHARE IN THE RESPONSIBILITY.

ABSOLUTELY. WE ALL GOT TO SHARE. THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW, I ENJOY FUN AS MUCH AS THE NEXT FELLA,

BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO OBSERVE THE RULES.

LET'S WATCH THEM RULES, BOYS. YEAH.

NOW, LET'S STICK CLOSE TOGETHER AND ENJOY THIS OUTING

AND HAVE A LOT OF FUN WHILE WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH NATURE.

"THUSWAYS," BOTH THE SHERIFF AND I

WILL BE ABLE TO PASS ALONG TO YOU

OUR SKILLS AS WOODSMEN

IN ORDER THAT YOU, IN TURN,

CAN PASS IT ALONG TO YOUR CHILDREN

AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN. YEAH. WELL --

NOW, YOU WILL BE AWAY FROM THE ROARING TRAFFIC'S BOOM,

AND YOU WILL LEARN TO GET ALONG

BY USING GOOD OL' PIONEER MOXIE.

LIVE OFF THE LAND.

NOW, W-WHAT IF ALL THE ELECTRICITY WENT OFF TOMORROW?

WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

WOULD YOU, HOWIE?

UH, PUT IN A NEW FUSE?

NO, YOU WOULDN'T PUT IN A NEW FUSE.

BUT YOU CAN'T PUT IN AN OLD FUSE.

YOU WOULDN'T PUT IN ANY FUSES.

BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE FUSES.

LOOK, WE'RE NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT FUSES.

WE ARE HERE -- BARN, BARN, BARN,

I-I THINK THE BOYS UNDERSTAND.

OKAY, FELLAS, WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING AT 7:00.

RUN HOME AND GET READY NOW.

THE -- THE IMPORTANT THING IS --

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE'RE GONNA ROUGH IT

AND IT'S GONNA BE GOOD FOR YOU!

HEY, BARNEY.

HEY, GOMER.

HEY, ANDY. HEY, GOMER.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE FOR THE MEETING,

BUT I DON'T GUESS IT MATTERS

'CAUSE I DON'T EXPECT I'LL BE GOING ALONG. WELL, WHY NOT?

WELL, THERE'S THIS MOVIE ON TV TOMORROW NIGHT

WITH PRESTON FOSTER I WANT TO SEE.

NOW, WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT?

NOW, THAT'S JUST EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING

TO GET AWAY FROM.

WE NEED TO GET OUTDOORS.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN, GOMER.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THING ONE ABOUT PIONEERING.

WELL, WE'LL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING --

FIRE-MAKING, TRAPPING, THE WHOLE BALL OF WAX.

YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING, GOMER.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT THIS PRESTON FOSTER PICTURE'S ABOUT.

HE'S IN THIS FOREST UP THERE IN THE NORTHWEST,

AND I CAN LEARN FROM THAT.

YEAH, BUT YOU WON'T BE GETTING ANYTHING OUT OF IT.

PRESTON FOSTER WILL BE DOING ALL THE LEARNING FOR YOU.

COME WITH US, GOMER.

PRESTON FOSTER WILL UNDERSTAND THIS ONE TIME.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

* ...ON US

* THERE AIN'T NO FLIES ON US

* THERE MAY BE FLIES ON...

OKAY, GUYS, THIS IS IT!

RIGHT HERE.

OVERLOOKING THE LAKE.

MAYBE GET IN A LITTLE SWIM BEFORE LUNCH.

BUILD OUR CAMPFIRE RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S IT. SPREAD OUT ALL AROUND HERE.

GOOD PLACE, GOOD PLACE.

YEAH.

BARN, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS PLACE?

OH, THIS IS FINE...

I GUESS.

IF I HAD MY WAY, THOUGH,

I'D LIKE TO GO ON ANOTHER 10 OR 15 MILES.

I WOULDN'T. NO, WE DON'T WANT TO TIRE THE YOUNG'UNS.

THEY HAVEN'T LEARNED TO CONSERVE THEIR STRENGTH YET.

HEY, GUYS, LET'S GET SOME FIREWOOD.

YEAH!YEAH! ALL RIGHT!LET'S GO!

Together: * ...JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT *

* HIS NAME IS MY NAME, TOO

* WHENEVER WE GO OUT, THE PEOPLE ALWAYS SHOUT *

* JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT *

* TRA LA, LA LA, LA LA LA

* JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT *

* HIS NAME IS MY NAME, TOO

* WHENEVER WE GOT OUT, THE PEOPLE ALWAYS SHOUT *

* JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT *

HEY! THAT'S THE WAY TO SING A SONG!

HEY, PA, HOW ABOUT TELLING US A GHOST STORY?

YEAH!YEAH! YEAH!YEAH!

COME ON, ANDY.

THAT'S THE FUN OF A CAMPFIRE -- TELLING A GHOST STORY.

Gomer: BARNEY'S RIGHT.

SCARY STORIES ARE A LOT OF FUN AROUND THE CAMPFIRE.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY'RE SCARY. THAT'S RIGHT.

[ ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER ]

WELL, I DON'T -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR PARENTS

WOULD WANT ME TELLING GHOST STORIES. COME ON!

All: WE WANT A GHOST STORY!

WE WANT A GHOST STORY!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT.

HOLD IT, I'LL TELL ONE. I'LL TELL ONE. I'LL TELL ONE.

NOW BE REAL QUIET FOR ME.

BE REAL QUIET. LET ME -- LET'S SEE HERE.

LISTEN.

YOU HEAR THAT?

THAT'S A HOOT OWL.

THAT REMINDS ME OF A STORY.

A LONG TIME AGO, RIGHT IN THESE VERY WOODS,

THERE LIVED AN OLD HERMIT.

AND THEY SAY THAT, BURIED RIGHT HERE IN THESE WOODS,

THERE WAS THIS -- THIS HIDDEN TREASURE.

AND THIS OLD HERMIT USED TO LOOK FOR THAT TREASURE.

DAY AND NIGHT, HE LOOKED FOR IT.

ONE NIGHT, HE WENT INTO A REAL DARK CAVE

LOOKING FOR THE TREASURE.

AND SUDDENLY, THERE WERE TWO EYES LOOKING AT HIM,

BURNING LIKE COALS OF FIRE.

AND THE OLD HERMIT REACHED OUT HIS HAND,

AND HE TOUCHED SOMETHING FURRY, AND THE THING WENT RRR!

IT WAS A BEAR. IT BIT HIS ARM OFF!

SHAZAM.

THE OLD HERMIT TOOK OUT HIS KNIFE,

AND HE KILLED THE BEAR WITH HIS OTHER ARM.

AND WHILE HE WAS STUMBLING AROUND,

TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAVE, HE FOUND THE TREASURE.

AND HE TOOK IT, AND HE BOUGHT HIMSELF AN ARM

TO REPLACE THE ARM HE HAD LOST.

AND IT WASN'T AN ORDINARY ARM.

IT WAS AN ARM MADE OUT OF PURE GOLD.

MANY YEARS LATER,

WHEN THE OLD HERMIT DIED,

A THIEF WHO HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS GOLDEN ARM

CAME AND STOLE IT.

AND THEN A STRANGE THING HAPPENED.

WHEN THEY CAME TO GET THE OLD HERMIT TO BURY HIM,

HE WAS GONE.

HE DISAPPEARED.

AND THEY SAY THAT, RIGHT TODAY,

HE'S LOOKING FOR THAT GOLDEN ARM

WITHOUT WHICH HE CAN NEVER BE BURIED.

AND HE'S LOOKING RIGHT HERE IN THESE VERY WOODS

FOR HIS GOLDEN ARM.

AND YOU CAN HEAR HIM AT NIGHT.

YOU CAN HEAR HIM SAYING, "WHO?

"WHO?

"WHO STOLE MY GOLDEN ARM?

"WHO STOLE MY GOLDEN ARM?

WHO STOLE MY GOLDEN ARM?"

WHO STOLE MY GOLDEN ARM?!

WELL, THAT'S IT, BOYS. THERE'S YOUR GHOST STORY.

NOW LET'S ALL GET SOME SLEEP.

YEAH, NOW, REMEMBER, BOYS, THAT WAS JUST A STORY.

THAT'S ALL IT WAS.

NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED ABOUT, RIGHT, ANGE?

THAT'S RIGHT. NOW, LET'S GET SOME SLEEP

SO WE CAN GET UP REAL EARLY IN THE MORNING.

BARNEY, GOMER, WAKE UP!

HUH? WHAT?

OPIE'S GONE! WHAT?

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE, TREY?

OPIE'S GONE.

HIS SLEEPING BAG'S HERE, BUT HE ISN'T ANYWHERE AROUND.

WHAT?

THAT MEANS HE'S OUT THERE SOMEPLACE --

LOST IN THE WILDERNESS.

Gomer: SHAZAM.

NOW, YOU'RE SURE OPIE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO YOU

ABOUT GOING ANYWHERE? WHERE DID HE GO?

DID -- DID ANY OF YOU BOYS SEE OPIE LEAVE THIS MORNING?

NO! WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?

WELL, LISTEN, JUST --

YOU JUST TAKE IT EASY AND STAY RIGHT HERE.

AND DON'T WORRY. I'LL FIND HIM.

SEE, BOYS?

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELLING YOU.

YOU HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES.

COME ON, GOMER. LET'S YOU AND ME COMB THE NORTH SLOPE THERE.

HEY, WE BETTER WAIT ON ANDY. YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND!

THERE'S A TENDERFOOT LOST OUT THERE!

EVERY SECOND COUNTS! COME ON!

OPIE!

YOU SEE ANY SIGN OF HIM?

NO TRACE. HIDE NOR HAIR.

WE GOT TO FOLLOW HIS FUR TRAIL.

LOOK FOR FOOTPRINTS, A BROKEN BRANCH, OR A WRINKLED LEAF --

ANY SIGN TO TELL A TRAINED EYE THAT SOMEONE'S PASSED.

A BROKEN BRANCH, HUH? YEAH.

HEY, THERE'S ONE. HE MUST HAVE COME THIS WAY.

HEY, HERE COMES OPIE.

HEY, OPE. WHERE YOU BEEN?

[ ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER ]

NOW, SEE, BOYS,

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AT THE COURTHOUSE.

WE HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU WAS GOING OFF BY YOURSELF LIKE THAT?

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STICK TOGETHER

AND NOT GO WANDERING OFF BY OURSELVES.

BUT I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU WITH THESE BERRIES I PICKED.

YEAH, YOU SURPRISED ME, ALL RIGHT.

WHERE'S BARNEY AND GOMER?

THEY WENT OUT LOOKING FOR OPIE. WHAT?!

BARNEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO COMB THE NORTH SLOPE.

NOW, YOU SEE, BARNEY AND GOMER

HAD TO GO OFF WITHOUT BREAKFAST TO TRY TO FIND YOU.

I'M SORRY, PAW. RULES ARE RULES, OPIE.

WHEN YOU BREAK THEM, YOU SPOIL IT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, GET YOUR GEAR STRAIGHTENED OUT,

AND WE'LL HAVE SOME BREAKFAST.

WELL, IT'S A CINCH HE ISN'T ANYWHERE AROUND HERE,

OR THESE OLD BABY BLUES WOULD HAVE SPOTTED HIM.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S WORK OUR WAY BACK TOWARD CAMP.

HEY, BARNEY, AIN'T CAMP THAT WAY?

BOY, IT'S A GOOD THING YOU GOT ME ALONG, GOMER.

YOU'D JUST GO OFF THAT WAY, WOULDN'T YOU?

AND GET YOURSELF IN DEEPER AND DEEPER.

YOU GOT NO PIONEER MOXIE AT ALL.

OUR CAMP HAPPENS TO BE THAT WAY.

NOW, COME ON. BUT, BARNEY...

HIYA, BOYS! HOW ARE YOU?

WELL, HELLO THERE, FLETCH.

HOW'S IT GOING? FINE, FINE, FINE.

I, UH, BROUGHT UP A LITTLE ARCHERY EQUIPMENT HERE.

I THOUGHT THE FELLAS COULD DO A LITTLE PRACTICING.

OH, GOOD. SO YOU BRUNG YOUR WEAPONS UP HERE.

BE CAREFUL, FELLAS. CAREFUL NOW.

OH, UH, AUNT BEE SENT UP SOME ROASTED CHICKEN

IN CASE YOU'RE TIRED OF HOT DOGS.

OH, BLESS HER HEART. BLESS HER HEART.

HEY, UH -- HEY, FLETCH, YOU, UH --

YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO RUN INTO BARNEY AND GOMER

ALONG THE ROAD, DID YOU?

WELL, NO. AREN'T THEY HERE WITH YOU?

WELL, NO. THEY WANDERED OFF THIS MORNING.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

DON'T TELL ME BARNEY WENT OUT AND GOT HISSELF LOST.

AIN'T THAT SOMETHING? BARNEY'S LOST!

THAT'S EVEN BETTER THAN A GHOST STORY.

YEAH, BARNEY THE PIONEER.

Andy: WELL, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

NOBODY SAID BARNEY WAS LOST.

WELL, WHERE IS HE?

WELL, HE'S NOT ONE TO HANG AROUND THE COOKING FIRE.

HE'S OUT SOMEWHERE DOING HIS NATURE STUDIES,

REALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CAMP-OUT.

BUT HE'S BEEN GONE ALL MORNING, PA.

WELL, THAT -- THAT'S -- THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

HE -- HE'LL BE BACK AFTER A WHILE,

AND HE'LL BRING BACK SOME INTERESTING STUFF FOR US TO STUDY ON.

NOW -- NOW, RUN OFF AND HAVE SOME FUN

WITH THE BOWS AND ARROWS WITH FLETCH, BUT BE CAREFUL NOW.

DON'T SHOOT ONE ANOTHER. I'LL WATCH THEM.

ALL RIGHT FELLAS, LET'S GO ON OVER HERE.

HERE WE GO. DON'T GO SHOOTING TILL WE GET THERE.

RIGHT OVER THERE. Boy: COME ON.

WELL, I THINK WE CAN TAKE A BREATHER HERE.

WE'RE ALMOST BACK TO CAMP.

WELL, IT CAN'T BE TOO SOON FOR ME.

I'M ABOUT STARVED.

WE DIDN'T HAVE NO BREAKFAST, AND IT'S ALREADY PAST NOON.

WELL, IT WON'T BE LONG NOW.

BUT DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU COULD GET FOOD OUT HERE IN THE WOODS

ANYTIME, LIKE THE PIONEERS?

WELL, SURE. OF COURSE I CAN.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'D LIKE SOME OF THAT FOOD OFF THE LAND,

AND I KNOW MY STOMACH WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

THAT IS, IF YOU REALLY CAN DO IT.

WELL, OF COURSE I COULD DO IT.

NORMALLY, I'D JUST MAKE A -- A SNARE AND CATCH A --

A PHEASANT OR SOME SUCH WILD BIRD.

A PHEASANT, HUH? HEY, THAT SOUNDS TASTY.

LET'S HAVE THAT.

WELL, I WOULD, EXCEPT THAT...

WELL, YOU CAN'T MAKE A DECENT SNARE WITHOUT A PIECE OF STRING.

BOY, IF WE HAD A PIECE OF STRING,

I'D CATCH YOU A BIRD DINNER YOU'D NEVER FORGET.

IT'S JUST A DARN PITY THAT WE DON'T --

I GOT SOME STRING. YOU DO?

SURE.

I ALWAYS CARRY AN EXTRA SHOELACE.

HERE, MAKE A SNARE.

BOY, MY MOUTH'S ALREADY WATERING

FOR SOME OF THAT PHEASANT BIRD.

WELL...

SEE, A WILD BIRD JUST FLIES IN THERE TO GET THEM BERRIES,

AND THEN IT KNOCKS AGAINST THAT STICK THERE,

AND THEN THIS -- THE SNARE, YOU SEE --

IT JUST FALLS DOWN ON IT, AND YOU GOT IT.

WELL, I GUESS IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH EATING, THOUGH.

A BIRD STRONG ENOUGH TO MOVE THEM ROCKS

AND KNOCK THAT STICK OVER

IS BOUND TO BE ON THE MUSCULAR SIDE.

WELL, LET'S GET ON OUT OF HERE.

WE DON'T WANT TO SCARE THEM AWAY.

HEY, BARNEY, WE'RE GONNA NEED A FIRE, AIN'T WE?

A FIRE?

OH, YEAH. YEAH, YOU GOT A MATCH?

YEAH, A MATCH.

'COURSE, WE COULD START ONE JUST AS QUICK

BY RUBBING TWO STICKS TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, FIRE BY CONSTRICTION --

AN OLD PIONEER TRICK.

BUT SINCE YOU DO HAVE MATCHES, WHY...

YOU DO, DON'T YOU?

I GUESS YOU BETTER USE THEM PIONEER STICKS.

WELL, OF COURSE, ON THE OTHER HAND,

A COLD BIRD TASTES JUST AS GOOD AS A WARM ONE.

YOU MEAN RAW, DON'T YOU? YOU ARE A PIONEER.

BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D LIKE MINE HEATED A TOUCH,

SO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE FIRE, IF YOU WOULD.

OH. SURE. OKAY.

HEY, BARNEY, AIN'T THIS THE PLACE WE WAS A WHILE AGO?

THIS LOOKS LIKE THE SAME TREE.

WE'RE GOING IN CIRCLES. I BELIEVE WE'RE LOST.

GOMER, THIS IS NOT THE SAME TREE,

AND WE ARE NOT LOST.

WELL, MAYBE YOU AIN'T, BUT I SURE DO FEEL MISPLACED.

GOMER, I'D STAKE ALL I KNOW ABOUT THE WOODS

THAT WE HAVE NEVER COME THIS WAY BEFORE.

YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THE SNARE, AND I'LL GET A FIRE STARTED.

GOMER. Shh!

HI, ANDY. KEEP IT DOWN.

I DON'T WANT BARNEY TO HEAR US.

SURE GOOD TO SEE YOU. DID OPIE GET BACK ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, HE'S BACK.

WE OUGHT NOT TO BE TALKING HERE.

IT MIGHT SCARE THE PHEASANT BIRDS AWAY.

OH, PHEASANT, HUH?

SURE HOPE WE CATCH A BIG ONE.

WE WEREN'T EXPECTING YOU FOR DINNER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY?

WELL, I GOT WORRIED WHEN YOU DIDN'T COME BACK TO CAMP,

AND THOUGHT I MIGHT COME OUT AND LOOK FOR YOU.

THEN WE ARE LOST.

I THOUGHT WE WAS, BUT BARNEY SAID NO.

ARE THE BOYS BACK AT CAMP GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS.

I EXPECT OLD BARNEY'S REALLY IN FOR IT,

HIM AND HIS PIONEERING TALK.

BOY, THE LAUGH'S REALLY GOING TO BE ON HIM.

HEY, GOMER, SIT DOWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID, ABOUT THE LAUGH BEING ON BARNEY?

HUH?

THE LAUGH WILL BE ON BARNEY,

AND I'M AFRAID IT'D BE THE KIND OF LAUGH

THAT WOULD HURT HIM PRETTY BAD.

I'D HATE TO SEE THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?

YEAH.

AFTER ALL, HE CAME OUT HERE JUST TO HELP, ANYWAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SURE WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO.

MAYBE THERE IS. HERE.

BREAK THESE MATCHES OFF AND PUT THE HEADS IN HIS FIRE-MAKER.

WELL, WHAT GOOD'S THE FIRE WITHOUT A BIRD?

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL WATCH YOUR TRAP AND GET YOU A PHEASANT.

DO YOU THINK THERE'LL BE ONE?

I'M PRETTY POSITIVE.

SHAZAM.

GO ON. GO ON. GO ON.

HURRY.

HEY, BARN.

HOW'S IT GOING?

OH, FINE, FINE. I JUST, UH...

I JUST WANT TO GO AND GET SOME TWIGS.

YOU KNOW, FOR WHEN THIS GETS STARTED.

OKAY.

GOMER...

HEY, BARNEY, NOW THAT I LOOK AT THIS TREE,

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

OF COURSE, WE NEVER COULD HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

I GUESS I JUST AIN'T THE PIONEER YOU ARE.

GOMER, I GOT SOMETHING I WANT TO --

I BEEN FEELING THIS LOG. IT FEELS REAL WARM.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S ABOUT READY TO FLAME UP.

SHOW ME YOUR TWIRLING AGAIN.

YOU SEE, GOMER, THE TRUTH IS...

BARN, YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT!

I DECLARE, YOU'RE A REGULAR DANIEL BOONE!

HERE. YEAH, YEAH.

I TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I?

GET SOME MORE STICKS, QUICK.

YEAH. YEAH, I'LL GET -- I'LL GET SOME FIREWOOD!

I'LL GET FIREWOOD!

HERE.

BE HOLDING THIS OVER THE FIRE WHEN HE COMES BACK.

WOW! AFTER YOU'VE EATEN, I'LL MAKE A NOISE,

AND YOU TELL HIM IT'S A LAKE LOON.

GOT IT? WHAT'S A LAKE LOON?

I DON'T KNOW. JUST TELL HIM IT'S A LAKE LOON, OKAY?

OKAY.

THIS OUGHT TO DO IT.

I REALLY HAD TO HUNT AROUND FOR SOME DRY FIREWOOD.

WHAT'S THAT?

WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?

YOU MEAN THAT SNARE WORKED?!

IT SURE DID.

A-A-AND IT'S DONE AND EVERYTHING?

WELL, WHEN I SEEN IT IN THE SNARE,

I TOOK IT RIGHT OUT AND PLUCKED IT AND CLEANED IT

AND SET IT RIGHT ON THE FIRE.

WELL, I-IT WORKED!

WE CAUGHT US A BIRD!

THE LAND IS FEEDING US, JUST LIKE I SAID!

DANIEL BOONE AIN'T NEVER DONE BETTER.

YEAH!

WELL, IT SEEMED TO HAVE COOKED UP AWFUL FAST.

WELL --

WELL, THAT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND, THOUGH.

ANY FIRE STARTED PIONEER-STYLE IS BOUND TO BE HOTTER

THAN FIRE STARTED FROM JUST ORDINARY MATCHES.

YOU THINK IT'S DONE YET?

THERE'S A TASTE YOU CAN'T MATCH

WITH ANYTHING YOU'LL EVER FIND IN THE CITY.

EVEN AUNT BEE COULDN'T HAVE COOKED UP ANYTHING THAT GOOD.

YEAH. I EXPECT WE BETTER BE HEADING BACK.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

HEAR THAT?

THAT'S A LAKE LOON, AND IT COME FROM THAT DIRECTION.

LET'S SEE, NOW. MOSS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TREES.

YES, SIR, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, ALL RIGHT -- A LAKE LOON --

THE KIND OF LOONS YOU FIND AT LAKES.

'COURSE, IF WE WAITED FOR THE NORTH STAR TO COME OUT...

I WONDER WHERE THAT LAKE LOON'S GOING.

HE'S PROBABLY HEADED FOR THE LAKE.

OF COURSE, IF THE SUN...

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF BIRD THAT WAS? A LAKE LOON!

PROBABLY A WEB-FOOTED RED-CRESTED LAKE LOON.

NOW, WHERE WOULD A WEB-FOOTED RED-CRESTED LAKE LOON

BE HEADING?

TOWARD THE LAKE! TOWARD THE LAKE!

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU SEE, INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING THERE,

YOU GOT TO USE ALL YOUR SENSES.

THAT'S NATURE'S POINTER!

WE JUST FOLLOW THAT SOUND, AND THERE'S A SHORTCUT HOME.

GOSH, BARNEY. COME ON, LET'S GET STARTED.

THE SOUND CAME FROM RIGHT OVER --

YOU'RE RIGHT AGAIN. FROM THAT WAY. RIGHT.

HEY, BOYS!

COME HERE AND LOOK WHO'S COMING.

THERE COMES BARNEY FIFE,

A TRUE PIONEER IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE.

HI, BARNEY!HI, BARNEY! HI, BARNEY!HI, BARNEY!

I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO GO OFF LOOKING FOR ME, BARNEY.

OH, HECK, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

JUST GAVE ME A CHANCE TO GET REACQUAINTED WITH NATURE.

WELL, WHERE YOU BEEN, ANYWAY?

YOU BEEN GONE MOST OF THE DAY.

HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU MAKE OUT?

COME ON, BARNEY. TELL THE BOYS ABOUT IT.

YEAH! COME ON!TELL US!

OH, NO, NO.

WASN'T ANYTHING AT ALL. JUST FORGET IT.

REMARKABLE AND MIRACULOUS AS IT WAS, JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

WELL, HE MADE THIS TRAP

OUT OF JUST ONE OF MY SHOESTRINGS AND SOME TWIGS,

AND HE CAUGHT THIS BIRD. WHAT?

WOW!WOW! WOW!WOW!

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD TO MAKE.

WILD PHEASANT --

PERHAPS THE MOST DIFFICULT SPECIES OF ALL TO ENSNARE.

AND THEN HE RUBBED THESE STICKS TOGETHER AND BUILT A FIRE.

Andy: HE DIDN'T. ROARING BLAZE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.

AND THEN WE COOKED THE BIRD.

AND THEN, JUST AS EASY AS YOU PLEASE,

HE TRACKED THIS LAKE LOON AND BROUGHT US SMACK BACK HERE,

STRAIGHT AS A DIE.

WEB-FOOTED RED-CRESTED LAKE LOON.

BOY, THAT'S SOME KIND OF TRAP.

[ ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER ]

BOYS, BOYS.

LET ME MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY CLEAR.

IF YOU LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH NATURE

AND DEVELOP THE SELFSAME PIONEER MOXIE,

YOU WILL FIND THAT IT BUILDS A SELF-RELIANCE

THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU LATER ON

IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE.

IT'LL BE SOMETHING YOU CAN PASS ON TO YOUR CHILDREN

AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.

IT'S NOT ANYTHING YOU CAN LEARN IN BOOKS.
