Once again in this episode another beloved character from Mayberry gets highlighted. In this case the character of Paul Hartman's Emmett Clarke. I like how one thing leads to another and how people jump to conclusions. It was a well written episode. I like how Andy in one scene resorts to a little white lie in covering up for Emmett when not really knowing what Emmett was doing. A true friend. But when he saw how broke up Emmett's wife Martha(Mary Lansing)was after seeing him with the waitress Flora(Alberta Nelson), Andy basically told her the truth because he could not stand to see Martha so hurt! Nice.And the scene where Emmett is almost "off the hook" he does not know when to quit and he's back to square one and has to get the mink coat! Priceless!
Plus there is a interesting and nice guest appearance by the great Ronnie Schell(Duke Slater from Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.) as Bernie the furrier.
