Lucky He Isn't Banking Today

Emmet the fix it man on the Andy Griffith show manages to embezzle 200,000 dollars from his company. He turns himself in but refuses to give back the money and goes to prison. The episode now moves to the day of his parole. We go through flashbacks. We have a detective itching to get that money back. But there is a scheme that is eventually revealed. I would imagine there would be so much more intensive surveillance now than the time of the episode. But it is a funny, low key episode, and though it travels at a snail's pace, we continue to wonder why he did it. It is eventually revealed to us and it is a bit of a feelgood thing.
