Silly script with some funny moments.

The highlights of the episode are the supporting actors. Pretty Luana Anders as Violet is back previously from a small MRFD role before being the receptionist at the Raleigh police department. There on TAGS she was comically stinging sarcastic to Barney about his bumbling on the job.. Here she is sweet as pie and sporting a longer cute hairstyle. David Ketchum is always a treat to see. Howard Sprague (Jack Dodson) continues to be more animated.
The recycled Mayberry coward theme is given a new twist. The downside of the episode is bland Sam's (Ken Berry) preachy shtick. Thankfully the episode ended with some good comedy rather then the teaching a lesson crutch that always lays an egg.
