Barnaby is out looking for an important witness to a court case and he assumes that the woman (Gretchen Corbett) is hiding from him because she doesn't want to testify. The reality is that she is on the run, as mobsters want her dead. When Barnaby spots her being forced into a van, he follows and gives chase. Soon there's a shootout and Barnaby is hit in the head. He'll live, at least due to the injury, but his eyesight is blurred. And, once the woman finds him (as she just escaped), the pair team up to avoid the killers.
The idea of an injury that makes Barnaby temporarily blind does seem very contrived, though the episode is exciting and well worth seeing...especially since, for a change, Jedediah is actually pretty helpful!
By the way, look close during the first portion of the show. A woman comes to see Mr, Jones...and she's Betty Lynn, 'Thelma Lou' from "The Andy Griffith Show".
