Summary[]
Plot[]
Barney returns to Mayberry for a visit to what is seemingly a rousing welcome only to learn that it's actually for Teena Andrews, someone he and Andy knew in high school and who is now a famous actress. They drop in to see her and when her publicity man hears that she and Barney dated, he decides to set up a great photo opportunity by having him act as her escort for a new movie being premiered in Mayberry. Soon, Barney thinks they may have rekindled their old romance but is brought down to Earth with a thud when he hears she's left town suddenly.
Trivia/Notes[]
- The desk that was mounted on the wall of the Raleigh Police dept. that Barney was forced to use in A Visit to Barney Fife is not there in this episode. File cabinets have been put in its place but you can see a spot on the wall where the paint is different.
- For all you railfans - The train pulling into the RR station is a Union Pacific Streamliner, led by a diesel locomotive, probably an EMD 9, the UP winged logo is blurry but recognizable on the front of the locomotive. Also, you can see the seat back covers with the Streamliner design, in the shots where Barney is inside the passenger car. When Barney and Andy are standing by the station house, you can see part of the UNION PACIFIC name (the letters "CIFIC") on the side of the car in the background. The colors on the locomotive and cars are the Union Pacific's paint scheme of that time period.
