Taking a long-overdue vacation, Andy leaves Barney and Gomer in charge of the jailhouse. No sooner has Andy left than the boys have managed to lock themselves in the cell. Later on, Barney and Gomer successfully catch a crook (Allen Melvin)--who not only promptly escapes, but does so twice! Suffice to say that Andy's R-and-R is somewhat abruptly cut short. Written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, "Andy's Vacation" first aired on March 9, 1964. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
