Burke on Mayberry #4 = The Manhunt
Running time: 11:47
In this “The Andy Griffith Show” episode which originally aired on October 10, 1960, Andy and Barney are the brunt of jokes by state troopers who come to Mayberry to capture an escaped convict. Andy is able to prove he is not the country bumpkin the troopers think he is when he captures the convict himself.

Manhunt is one of my favorite episodes! I guess after visiting Franklin Canyon a couple of times, it is pretty special to be able to recognize the location. Great story. I really enjoyed the writers insight as they planted the idea of the hole in the bottom of the boat early in the episode.
By the way, the fellow that played the State Police captain….I spotted him on an episode of Bonanza this afternoon.
