Don Knotts elevates scripts, and actors. Having Warren (Jack Burns) idolize Barney was a very clever angle. Some really funny gags with Goober having to take off, and put on Barney's fuel pump repeatedly. Barney's nervous fear of Avery Noonan (Ted White) is played brilliantly to the hilt. Barney puts Andy and all of Mayberry in grave danger concealing Warden Hix's phone call. Andy appears to be ready to admonish Barney after Hix's second call. The train depot whole scene is a TAGS masterpiece. Andy tossing a 50+ lb. Sack of grain like a feather would have surely broke the escapee's neck. Enjoyed Barney's nervous shock first seeing Noonan. Then, Barney's account of delivering his knock out blows to overtake him. A truly wonderful episode. Don Knotts, Andy Griffith, & Jack Burns would have been great together if allowed to make more episodes teamed up. Barney's color episodes are true viewing treats. Ironic we have classic comedy like this when only a few episodes ago a highlight was Clara (Hope Summers) dreadful singing of "Some Enchanted Evening" to dry as dust Harlan Robinson (Woodrow Chambliss).
