==Plot Summary==<br />
Aunt Bee invites her sister Nora and brother-in-law Ollie for a visit. They show <br />
up with their rotten kids, and Andy tries his best to act pleasantly. Ollie <br />
pushes Andy to the limit when, after keeping him awake all night, he insults a <br />
citizen and then takes the squad car fishing. Ollie hears a report of an escaped <br />
convict on the loose and then brags that he would like to get his hands on the <br />
crooks. Andy plots to call his bluff. Andy phones Ollie from the courthouse and <br />
tells him the criminal has been spotted near Mayberry. Andy says that he will <br />
pick up Ollie and take him on the manhunt. Within seconds, Ollie, Nora, and the <br />
kids are packed and gone.<br />
<br />
