The seventies was a long decade for Andy Griffith but he was working. Its tough to break out of the only character people knew Andy as. The lovable sheriff of Mayberry. In this role Andy plays Chief Able, of a small town with very little funds to operate upon. The entire cast get thier careers started with this movie and its a enjoyable film. The first time watching you will not know the ending, which is a good thing. Worth watching...
