"Oh No! Not Bloody Mary!"

―Otis (about Aunt Bee)^[src]

PlotEdit

Aunt Bee takes it upon herself to reform Otis.

SummaryEdit

The Gordon boys are brought in for moon-shining, and when Otis arrives for his regular stay at the jail, there is no room at the inn. When the Gordon boys accuse Otis of turning them in, Andy has no choice but to take Otis home to let him sleep it off at the Taylor House . Come morning, Otis finds that he's been turned over to "Bloody Mary," aka Aunt Bee, who decides to rehabilitate Otis once and for all.

Trivia/NotesEdit

• Andy is shown with a cast on his arm (supposedly from a sprained wrist he got bringing in the Gordon boys). However, the cast has little or no impact on the plot and Andy is still wearing it in the next episode. This is because, in real life, Andy Griffith actually sprained his wrist driving his fist through a wall. The reason for this seemingly uncharacteristic outburst has been debated for years. Some say it was because of a fight he had with his then wife Barbara Griffith (who appears in The Song Festers), but no one really knows for sure.
• In a blooper, as the delivery man opens the back doors of the truck for Aunt Bee who is looking for Otis, a microphone boom can be seen in the reflection of the driver side window.
• Otis sings the Larry Clinton song "The Dipsy Doodle".
• Andy wears a gun in this episode.
• Otis says he is through with drinking at the end of this episode, but he will return to it later.

QuotesEdit

• Barney: Great work, chief. Who are they? What'd you get 'em on? 502? 626? 308? Want me to send out an "APB"?
• Andy: An "All Points Bulletin", Barney? They're already here; they're captured.

• Barney: Now here I've got a leathercraft set, a wood craft set, a metal craft set, and.. a Mr. Potato Set! Now, c'mon, pick any one you want, don't matter to me!
• Junior: I'll take the Mr. Potato set.
