STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNY HOWARD...

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU KIDDING?

IT'S TIME FOR LEONARD BLUSH.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT LATE.

This is WMPD, the voice of Mount Pilot.

And now stay tuned

for "Leonard Blush, the Masked Singer."

Hello there.

This is Leonard Blush.

We have had some very nice letters this morning

and I'd like to start off today's program

with a request --

one of my favorites and, I hope, one of yours.

* Oh, will Sylvia...

We interrupt this program

to bring you a special news bulletin.

OF ALL THE TIMES.

Police report that a State Penitentiary convict

has escaped.

He is Ralph Neal, 5'10", 165 pounds.

The public is warned to use extreme caution.

He is armed and dangerous.

We repeat -- dangerous.

We return you now...

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, ANDY, HMM?

SOUNDS LIKE THAT NEAL'S A PRETTY TOUGH CHARACTER.

I FEEL HE'S HEADING THIS WAY.

I DOUBT THAT.

STATE PRISON'S A LONG WAYS FROM HERE.

WE OUGHT TO BE PREPARED JUST IN CASE.

IF WE HEAR OF HIM AROUND HERE

WE'LL DO SOMETHING.

BUT THE STATE POLICE MUST HAVE 200-300 MEN LOOKING FOR HIM--

CARS, RADIO, RADAR, PACK DOGS.

TURN LEONARD BLUSH BACK ON.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO BE PREPARED

IN CASE WE COME VIS-A-VIS WITH HIM.

IN CASE WE COME WHAT WITH HIM?

VIS-A-VIS, HAND-TO-HAND.

IF THE STATE POLICE NEED OUR HELP, THEY'LL LET US KNOW.

NOW, TURN ON LEONARD BLUSH.

ANDY, I LIKE LEONARD BLUSH

JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO IF NOT MORE.

BUT THIS IS NO TIME FOR LEONARD BLUSH!

WE GOT A MANHUNT ON OUR HANDS.

WE'RE NOT INVOLVED IN A MANHUNT.

NOW, TURN LEONARD BLUSH BACK ON.

FOR ALL WE KNOW

THIS GUY COULD BE FIVE MILES FROM HERE RIGHT NOW

AND HERE WE SIT DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT.

FOR ALL WE KNOW, HE COULD BE 500 MILES FROM HERE

AND THERE'S NOTHIN' FOR US TO DO ABOUT IT.

TURN LEONARD BLUSH BACK ON.

LEONARD BLUSH! LEONARD BLUSH!

IS THAT ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT !

HI, AND. WHERE YOU BEEN?

IT'S NEARLY 2:00.

ANYMORE REPORTS ON NEAL?

NO. NOTHING OFFICIAL.

SOME MOTORIST THOUGHT HE SAW HIM NEAR MOUNT PILOT

BUT HE'S PROBABLY JUST IMAGININ' IT.

MOUNT PILOT, HUH?

I'LL BE DARNED.

YOU COMING IN?

BARNEY?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING.

SAY, MOUNT PILOT, HUH?

BOY, THAT'S GETTIN' KIND OF CLOSE, AIN'T IT?

WELL, LIKE I SAY, IT'S UNOFFICIAL.

PROBABLY JUST IMAGINING.

BARNEY?!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE?

I DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE, AND. I WAS RIGHT HERE.

WELL, ARE YOU COMING IN

OR ARE YOU GONNA JUST KEEP POPPING IN AND OUT OF THE DOOR LIKE THAT?

OH, I'M COMING IN. I JUST HAD SOMETHING I WANTED TO SHOW YOU.

I WANTED TO PREPARE YOU A LITTLE BIT FIRST.

PREPARE ME? YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING

ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THE STATE POLICE HAVE?

YOU KNOW, LIKE RADIO AND RADAR?

WELL...

DOWN YOU GO.

DOWN YOU GO.

THERE. THERE.

WELL, THERE HE IS, AND.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIM?

WHAT YOU DOING WITH THAT DOG?

NOT JUST A DOG -- PART BLOODHOUND.

BLOODHOUND?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, PART BLOODHOUND.

COME ON. TAKE A LOOK AT HIM.

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT DOG?

HENRY CHOATE. EXPERT TRAILING DOG.

WELL, DON'T YOU GET IT?

THIS DOG IS GOING TO LEAD US RIGHT STRAIGHT

TO THAT CRIMINAL. THAT DOG?

BOY, YOUR FIRST REACTION'S

ALWAYS NEGATIVE, ISN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT, WATCH THIS.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THAT? SPECIAL DOG WHISTLE.

YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO HEAR IT

BUTRESPONDS TO IT INSTANTLY.

HE WAS RAISED ON THIS WHISTLE. HE WAS?

I DON'T THINK HE LIKES THAT.

DON'T BE SILLY.

IT'S HIS WHISTLE.

HE DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL.

EASY, EASY, EASY.

SEE, I WAS ONLY KIDDING.

I'M GOING TO PUT THE WHISTLE AWAY.

I'M GONNA PUT IT IN MY POCKET.

I'M NOT GONNA BLOW IT ANYMORE.

BARNEY, YOU WANT MY HONEST OPINION?

I DON'T BELIEVE

THAT DOG COULD FIND HIS OWN FOOD DISH.

OH, YEAH?

WELL, I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'M GONNA MAKE YOU EAT THEM WORDS.

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION.

SEE THAT HANDKERCHIEF? YEAH.

WELL, IT BELONGS TO FLOYD.

ON MY WAY HERE, I STOPPED

AT THE BARBERSHOP AND I GOT IT

BECAUSE I KNEW JUST AS SURE AS ANYTHING

WHAT YOUR REACTION WAS GONNA BE.

COME HERE.

NOW, I'M GOING TO LET THE DOG

SNIFF THIS HANDKERCHIEF.

NOW, I WANT TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR

THAT THIS DOG

HAS NEVER SEEN THIS HANDKERCHIEF BEFORE.

RIGHT, BOY?

I'LL...I'LL TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT.

I'LL JUST TAKE THIS LEASH OFF HERE.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, BOY.

NOW, SNIFF THE HANDKERCHIEF.

TAKE A GOOD SNIFF -- SNIFF IT.

YOU GOT IT

ALL RIGHT, GO, BOY!

GO, BOY! GET YOUR MAN!

OPEN THE DOOR, AND.

HE'S READY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, HIT THE TRAIL, BOY!

HIT THE TRAIL!

COME ON, BOY!

GO ON, BOY!

GO ON, BOY.

HI, BARNEY, ANDY.

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN. HE'S WORKING.

WHO'S WORKING? THE DOG.

OH, IS HE, NOW?

THE DOG'S WORKING.

SEE? THAT'S INTERESTING.

WHAT'S HE DOING?

IS HE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

QUIET, QUIET OR YOU'LL GET HIM

OFF THE TRACK.

IS HE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

HE'S LOOKING FOR YOU, FLOYD.

ME? OH... I'M RIGHT HERE.

HERE I AM, DOGGIE.

BE STILL. BE STILL.

YOU'LL GET HIM ALL CONFUSED.

HE'S GETTING COLDER.

HE'S GETTING COLDER, BARNEY.

OH, HE'S COLD. HE'S COLD, BARNEY.

HE'S COLD.

WATCH. HE'S COMIN' BACK.

HE'S COMIN' THIS WAY. HERE HE COMES.

HE'S GETTIN' WARMER.

SURE, HE'S GETTIN' WARMER.

HE'S GONNA COME RIGHT TO YOU.

THERE! THERE, YOU SEE?

YOU GOT HIM.

LOOK AT THAT.

HE'S PROBABLY LOOKING FOR SOME MORE OF THAT CANDY.

OHH.

HAS THAT DOG BEEN IN HERE BEFORE?

YES. BARNEY HAD HIM IN HERE A WHILE AGO.

I GAVE HIM A LOLLIPOP.

OH, HE'S A SMART DOG.

HE KNEW WHERE

TO GET ANOTHER ONE.

IT WAS NOT THE LOLLIPOP HE WAS AFTER.

HE WAS AFTER THE MAN'S SCENT.

THAT'S ALL. JUST THE SCENT.

I THINK IT WAS THE CANDY.

I SMELL OF WITCH HAZEL AND SHAVING CREAM

AND THAT WOULDN'T INTEREST HIM.

NO, IT WAS DEFINITELY THE CANDY.

YEP. GOOD DOG.

HE'LL PROBABLY LEAD US RIGHT TO THE CRIMINAL --

PROVIDED HE'S TRAVELING AROUND WITH A POCKETFUL OF LOLLIPOPS.

A CRIMINAL WITH A POCKETFUL OF LOLLIPOPS.

THAT'S FUNNY, ANDY.

YEAH, THAT'S VERY FUNNY.

COME ON, BLUE.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

BLUE! COME ON, BOY!

COME ON, BLUE.

BLUE?

COME ON!

WANT ONE OF THESE LOLLIPOPS, ANDY?

UH, NO, THANK YOU, FLOYD.

THAT'S HIM -- RALPH NEAL.

TOUGH-LOOKING CHARACTER, AIN'T HE?

YES, SIR, AND HE'S NOT FOOLING.

I'LL LEAVE THESE POSTERS FOR YOU TO DISTRIBUTE, SHERIFF.

I'LL GET THEM RIGHT TO THE POST OFFICE.

NOW, OUR MEN ARE COVERING ROUGHLY THIS AREA HERE

AND WE FEEL CERTAIN THAT WE'VE GOT NEAL HEMMED IN.

MY DEPUTY WAS RIGHT.

I NEVER THOUGHT HE'D GET THIS FAR.

HE DID.

WHAT WE'D LIKE YOU TO DO

IS TO CHECK OUT THIS AREA HERE, NORTH OF MAYBERRY.

GOOD PLACE FOR HIM TO HIDE OUT.

SOME CABINS IN THERE -- SUMMER PLACES, YOU KNOW?

Barney: COME ON, BLUE! THAT'S IT!

THAT'S MY DEPUTY.

HE'S TRYING TO TRAIN A DOG.

SOUNDS LIKE A HOUND.

CAN YOU USE HIM FOR TRAILING?

THAT'S WHAT HE WAS HOPING, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

A DOG MIGHT BE USEFUL UP THERE.

NOT THIS ONE, I'M AFRAID.

NOT MUCH OF A DOG, HUH? NOT MUCH.

THERE'S ONE THING MORE, SHERIFF.

IF YOU DO RUN ACROSS ANY SIGNS OF NEAL,

DON'T TRY TO TAKE HIM YOURSELVES.

CALL AND WE'LL SEND MEN TO HELP YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT, SHERIFF.

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

NEAL'S A TOUGH COOKIE.

WE'LL DO THE BEST WE CAN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MUCH OBLIGED. SEE YOU BOYS.

Barney: DOWN, BOY.

UP, BOY! COME ON!

COME ON, BLUE! COME ON, BOY!

HEY, BARNEY! HERE, BLUE!

HEY, BARNEY! WHAT DO YOU WANT, AND?

COME IN HERE A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

OKAY!

YOU OUGHT TO SEE HIM.

THIS DOG IS COMING ALONG GREAT.

HE'S TAKING TO THIS TRAINING

LIKE A DUCK TAKES TO WATER.

YOU LOOK LIKE HE'S TAKING TO IT.

I GOT HIM TRAINED TO THAT WHISTLE PERFECT.

HE OBEYS THE WHISTLE COMMANDS INSTANTLY.

YEAH, LISTEN... WATCH THIS.

THE STATE POLICE WERE HERE.

THE STATE POLICE?

RIGHT. THEY WANT US

TO HELP TRACK DOWN THIS ESCAPED CONVICT.

NO KIDDING?

YEAH. NOW THIS IS WHAT WE'LL DO.

BOY, THIS COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME.

WHAT? THIS DOG IS GONNA BE SUCH A HELP TO US.

HE'LL DO THE JOB FOR US.

YOU WANNA SEE WHAT HE'S LEARNED SO FAR?

WATCH THIS. JUST WATCH.

WATCH. WILL YOU WATCH?

BLUE COME ON, BOY!

BLUE?

BLUE? YOU GET IN HERE, BLUE!

BARNEY, LISTEN.

LET'S JUST LEAVE THE DOG HERE.

NO. WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU BETTER LEAVE HIM HERE.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE NEEDS THE REST.

YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT DOG MOVE.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

WATCH THIS.

ALL RIGHT, BLUE.

NOW, THERE'S A MAN OUT HERE WITH A GUN.

GET HIM! GUN, BLUE!

GUN! MAN! GET HIM!

BARN, YOU BETTER LEAVE THAT DOG ALONE.

BARNEY, THE DOG DON'T LIKE THAT WHISTLE.

WATCH IT, BARN!

GOOD.

YEAH, DID YOU SEE?

SEE HOW HE GOES FOR A MAN WITH A GUN?

YEAH. GOOD TRICK.

I BELIEVE THAT'S AS GOOD A TRICK AS I'VE EVER SEEN.

WANT TO GET HIM OFF ME?

NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GIVE THE CRIMINAL YOUR WHISTLE,

TELL HIM TO BLOW IT,

AND GET HIM TO YELL, "GUN, BLUE!

GUN, BLUE! MAN! GET HIM!"

ALL RIGHT. COME ON, BOY.

COME ON, BLUE. COME ON.

COME ON, BLUE. COME ON.

BLUE, COME ON.

BARNEY, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE THAT DOG IN THE CAR?

ANDY, OUR ONLY CHANCE OF FINDING THAT GUY

IS TO GET BLUE TO SMELL HIM OUT FOR US.

COME ON, BLUE. COME ON.

ATTABOY. COME ON. BLUE.

BLUE, COME ON.

COME ON. HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO. BLUE. TH--

COME ON. YEAH. THERE WE ARE.

ATTABOY. ATTABOY. ATTABOY.

YOU'RE GONNA WIND UP CARRYING THAT DOG.

OH, YEAH? JUST WAIT TILL HE GETS OUT ON THE TRAIL.

YOU JUST TRY AND KEEP UP WITH HIM.

HOW YOU GONNA GET HIM STARTED?

YOU AIN'T GOT NEAL'S HANDKERCHIEF, HAVE YA?

OH, COME ON. OF COURSE NOT...

BUT I DO HAVE THIS.

YOU GONNA SHOW HIM THE PICTURE?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

SHOW A DOG A PICTURE?

SHOW A DOG A PICTURE.

THERE HE IS, BLUE. THAT'S YOUR MAN.

NOW, YOU GO GET HIM. GO ON, BOY.

ANDY, THERE HE GOES! LET'S GET AFTER HIM!

I DIDN'T COME UP HERE

TO GO CHASING AFTER SOME OL' HALF-BLIND DOG.

HE'S GONNA TAKE US RIGHT TO NEAL.

YOU GO AFTER HIM IF YOU WANT TO.

I'M GOIN' THIS WAY. WELL, I...

DON'T GET TOO FAR OFF. LET'S NOT GET SEPARATED.

I'LL CATCH HIM, THEN I'LL JOIN UP WITH YA.

AND HE AIN'T LEARNED TO MIND YET.

WELL...

OH, SAY, I DON'T WANNA BE TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO

BUT I'D BE MIGHTY CAREFUL

FISHIN' ALL ALONE UP HERE NOW. YEAH?

THERE'S A CONVICT ON THE LOOSE.

YOU HEAR ABOUT IT ON THE RADIO?

HE COULD BE RIGHT AROUND THIS AREA.

YEAH?

ME AND THE DOG ARE UP HERE HUNTIN' FOR HIM.

YEAH?

HIS NAME'S RALPH NEAL. HE'S NOT A BIG GUY.

HE'S ABOUT 5'10" --

ABOUT YOUR SIZE. YEAH?

ROUND FACE, BROWN HAIR, KINDA THINNIN' ON TOP

LIKE YOURS, SORT OF. YEAH?

I GOT A PICTURE OF HIM.

I'LL SHOW IT TO YA.

AND WALK IN THE DIRECTION I TELL YA.

WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR DOG?

BLUE. LET'S GO.

COME ON, BLUE. YOU, TOO.

YOU'RE TRESPASSING. YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YA?

THIS CABIN BELONGS TO THE FORBESES.

IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY.

WELL, UH, YOU WON'T TELL 'EM ANYTHING, WILL YA, DEPUTY?

I'D HATE FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT I WAS TRESPASSING.

HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA KEEP ME HERE?

WELL, JUST TILL IT GETS DARK. THEN WE'LL LEAVE.

LEAVE?

I'M GONNA TAKE YOU ALONG FOR A LITTLE INSURANCE.

COPS DON'T SHOOT SO QUICK WHEN YA GOT A HOSTAGE.

OH, UH, LISTEN.

YOU WON'T GO ANYWHERE, WILL YA,

IF I GO OUTSIDE TO THE PUMP

AND GET ME A LITTLE WATER?

HEY, BOY!

THANKS A LOT, BLUE.

TRAITOR.

YOU AIN'T THE DEPUTY. YOU'RE THE SHERIFF.

WHERE'S YOUR DEPUTY?

WHERE DO YOU THINK HE IS, NEAL?

YOU BETTER GIVE YOURSELF UP.

THIS PLACE WILL BE SURROUNDED

BY POLICE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

MY DEPUTY'S GETTING THE POSSE RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT. THEN YOU AND I ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW

AND I'M TAKING YOU ALONG AS A HOSTAGE.

NOW, LET'S GO.

IT'S, UH...

HERE YOU GO, SHERIFF.

HE'LL LIE ON THE FLOOR IN THE BACK.

YOU'RE GONNA DO THE DRIVING.

I'M GONNA SIT BESIDE YOU TO SEE THAT YOU DO IT RIGHT.

WHERE'S THE MUTT?

HEY, BLUE?

UH, TH-THE DOG'S A LITTLE HARD OF HEARIN', NEAL

BUT YOU GOT A WHISTLE IN YOUR POCKET THERE.
