Barney and Andy are having a devil of a time getting to the bottom of the illegal moonshine business. Despite their best efforts (and a lot of smashed stills and arrests), Otis and the other drunks seem to have no trouble getting all the booze they want. Finally, the trail leads to the most adorable sisters, the Morrisons--who are very reminiscent of the two sweet aunts from "Arsenic and Old Lace" (minus all the murders). Among the best moments in the show are all the scenes with the Morrisons as well as seeing Barney accidentally getting drunk.
This is one of the funnier episodes of the series but also works well because of the great characters. Despite this being their only episodes, the Morrisons really made this a fun show. Plus the sweet, gentle nature of this show really shines through--making it among the most memorable--one any fan of the series MUST see.
A word or two for those not from the United States, the South or just too dang-gone young to know. Back during the time of this show, huge portions of the Southern United States (including most of North Carolina--where the show is set) were officially 'dry'--meaning that ANY sale or use of alcohol was prohibited--well after the national experiment with Prohibition ended in 1933. Other municipalities allowed only lower alcohol consumption and sales--such as lower alcohol beers.
