We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about “Opie’s Hobo Friend.”
Plot Summary Opie’s Hobo Friend:
Opie becomes fascinated with David Browne, a vagrant hobo who uses his wits to live on the edge of the law. After realizing his son has taken a liking to the wily wanderer, Andy tries to find David some honest work. Andy’s plan goes sour when Opie, at Dave’s encouragement, is caught playing hooky. Andy then has a long talk with the hobo. Dave sees his side and arranges to get himself arrested in order to show Opie that he was not the man Opie thought him to be.
We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode Opie’s Hobo Friend.
We’ll go over the answers to the trivia questions.
