“Barney and the Cave Rescue”
Barney becomes the butt of jokes when he tries to prevent a bank hold-up and discovers it is the bank president and bank auditors entering the bank on Saturday. Andy convinces him to attend the town picnic and forget about the ribbing, promising that he and Barney will take Helen and Thelma Lou off by themselves, away from the crowd. While exploring an old cave, Andy and Helen are trapped by a cave-in and Barney sets up a rescue.
