Help on the Farm

The corn crop is coming in and Sam needs to hire someone to help him. Andy suggests using ex-prisoners from the county prison. The warden has a program to help the men get another chance at life. Sam talks to Aunt Bee and she reluctantly agrees. Andy introduces Sam to Harry "Lucky" Davis and Charley "Fingers" Wilson. The men start picking corn and after a while, Sam gives them some money to run a few errands in his truck. They stop at Goober's gas station. Millie tells them that Goober's not there and they should just help themselves. Then you're supposed to leave the money in a tin can by the pump. They stop at Emmett's fix-it shop to pick something up for Sam. Emmett has to leave and he asks the men to watch his store. He shows them where the money is in case someone picks something up. Meanwhile, Millie drops off a little more than $500 to Aunt Bee. The women's club collected it for a swimming pool and Aunt Bee hides it in a cookie jar. The men find the money while getting a cookie, but put it back when they hear Sam and Aunt Bee. Sam and Aunt Bee bring the men to church. Afterwards, the men head home before Sam and Aunt Bee. Later, Sam and Aunt Bee find the money and car gone. Harry and Charley go to play cards with Big Louie. Andy and Sam show up and Harry and Charley say they were just trying to win the rest of the money for the pool. Big Louie gives Andy an additional $500 for the pool.
