There are some fun moments in this episode, but it suffers from silliness and implausibility. It's just one implausibility after another. And it is annoying and grating at times, partly because of the character Foxy and partly because of the amateurish writing.

Most of Buddy Ebsen's scenes are in the office and he looks tired and bored. I can't really blame him he was getting quite old by then so I understand that.

There is a chase scene with Betty driving her Ford Pinto which is kind of amusing. That was probably the highlight of the episode because of the history of Ford Pintos. If that was all she could afford Barnaby should have given her a raise!
