name of it was "placebo" - and worth every dime!

this?) the Sheriff AND the Town Drunk ! ! ! My, my, what would Aunt Bee
say?

another 40' ford convertible cruising the srteets of
mayberry also.

I can't say for certain what year it was, but the same car was used in
several episodes. It belonged to the "fun girls" in "Arrest of the Fun
Girls," (Barney described the car as "an old jalopy"; but it appeared to me
to be in very good condition.) It also belonged to a man named Willy Jack
in "Gomer the House Guest." Andy wrote him a ticket for having bad brakes.

Scene 5 The accident site
As Andy and Barney pull up, the scene looks grim. A fire truck is
already there with lights flashing. The semi trailer and the two house
trailers are piled up like toys with all but a corner of the bottom
trailer buried in snow. Goober and Gomer pull up in a tow truck that
is dwarfed by semi's size. Volunteers begin to show up in cars. Barney
pulls out the bullhorn as Andy scurries down the hill to aid the
victims.
Barney "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of your
neighbors. Please bring all shovels, ropes, crowbars or medical
equipment you may have in your possession. If you own a tractor
or any heavy equipment, please go get it and bring it here."
Andy is able to talk through a small hole to Corbin family who is
trapped in the bottom house trailer and through a window to a lady in
the top trailer.
Andy " We're gonna get you out somehow, Just hang tight now"
He turns to look up the hill and calls to Barney.
Andy "Barney , Have Gomer and Goober rope off that power pole.
That line may be live. Have Ellie call Charlie Phelps at the Power
Company. Call the sheriffs in Davis and Jefferson counties and
see if they've got any equipment they can send us85and hurry, we're
running outa daylight."
The State Police and County Rescue Squad are successful at extracting
the semi driver who is virtually unhurt. The large man (played by TAGS
vet Allen Melvin) is in tears with remorse. Barney walks up to the
crowd around the man.
Barney "Name please, and lets have your license and registration."
Truck Driver "I'm sorry officer. The names Green. Everett Green. I
was only doing 40 coming up Turner's grade there. I hit a slick
spot and it jack-knifed on me."
Barney "Just have a seat in the squad car there, in the back."
Mr. Green "Could I help with the rescue Deputy? I really feel awful
about what happened there"
A State Policeman nods to Barney as he ponders.
Barney "OK, but stay where I can see you. If you run away, I'll slap
the cuffs on you. You're being held for irrigation."
Darkness is setting in quickly. Blowing snow make visibility very poor.
The semi trailer has been removed and now the rescuers use two tractors
to try to pull one trailer off the other.
Andy talks to those around.
Andy "Hold up for a minute. We need to pull er south, but it's to
dangerous to put a tractor on that hillside. It may roll. How
can we get her moved about 30 feet that way?
The crowd pauses to ponder a moment. A faint noise can be heard coming
up the road. From a distance it sounds like a cowbell and a deep male
voice can be heard also. A bright light glares in the snow as the sound
gets closer. Andy moves up the hill beside Barney.
Barney "It is Otis on a cow again?"
Andy "Sounds like it but85It's a team of oxen! Two strong oxen and
Briscoe Darling! And the rest of the Darlings.
As the entourage nears, it becomes clear that Briscoe is riding on the
hood of the Darling truck. Rodney is driving with his heard hung out
the window looking ahead. Charlene is hanging out the other side
peering into the blowing snow ahead also. The truck headlights
illuminate the sturdy animals lumbering ahead. Briscoe is holding the
reins of the oxen team driving them forward. His deep voice bellows
commands to the ox team as it turns into the valley and heads for the
trailer.
While Andy and the gang stare in amazement, the Darling boys have the
house trailer chained and hitched to the ox team. With one loud
"Hyah!!" from Briscoe, the team pulls the large trailer as directed and
the door of the bottom trailer is cleared. After a big cheer, rescuers
rush up and escort the Corbin family of 7 from crumpled home.
Andy grabs Briscoe's hand with a grateful handshake.
Andy "Thank You Mr. Darling! The county thanks you and your family
so much."
Briscoe "Tweren't nothing any mountain man wouldn't do for his
neighbor. It's the code of the hills."
Andy "And the boys.. I've never seen them work so hard!"
Briscoe "Most people ain't never seen 'em work period. But they know
the code of the hills. They can be a he-man crew when they need
to."
Andy "What is this Code of the Hills you're referring to?"
Charlene "Drink your squeezings eat your grub
At least once a month, get in the tub.
Play music and sing whenever you can
But chuck it all for your fellow man:"
Andy "Well that's right nice."
Barney walks up to the crowd that has gathered around patting the
Darlings on the back.
Barney "Thanks Everyone . You may now return to your homes or places of
business. Have a nice Holiday."
State Policeman "Hold on there Deputy. The state road out of here is
now snowed shut. Power won't be restored in these parts for at
least 24 hours."
Andy "We still got power over at the National Guard Armory?
Civil Defense guy "Yes, we do. It's already been designated as the
Mayberry Emergency Shelter. It's being set up with cots,
tables, food, the whole works. Sorry about your party plans
Sheriff."
Andy "Sounds like we're gonna have a bigger Christmas Party than
we thought. Everybody come on over.. The more the merrier!"
Stay tuned to the Digest for Scene 6 "The Party" of An Unforgettable
Christmas.
