Season 4, Episode 24
7/10
More memorable, than funny.

Story has some good moments. Gomer trying his hand at freezer repair with no knowledge was funny. Aunt Bee & Opie lugging the cart of meat followed by yapping dogs is memorable. Some classic trouble making Clara manipulating Aunt Bee.

Aunt Bee for this episode is made a super tight wad who's cheapness dictates wrong decisions. Starting to see a back stabbing Clara (Hope Summers) who seems to enjoyi instigating trouble. Don Knotts is again missed. There was nowhere to go for humor but Gomer.

The whole idea of an outdoor freezer seemed a stretch. Who has a freezer on their porch? The meat is in a malfunctioning freezer exposed to summer heat, then carted through downtown. Then, no repairman until the next day. I wouldn't eat the beef.

Odd epilogue with the new freezer causing electrical problems. Andy talks about cussing in front of Aunt Bee that was out of character.
