>>>I don?t think this question has been asked here but:
What story lines do not make logical sense?>>>
I’ve brought this one up before: there is an enormous plot hole in Barney’s
First Car.
When Andy finally convinces Barney that the only thing left to do is return the
car to Mrs. Lesch, they both get in the car, late in the day, and head to Mt.
Pilot. What kind of idiotic plan is this? For one thing, they know the car is
unreliable, and is almost guaranteed to break down and leave them stranded.
Why didn’t one of them drive the lemon, and the other follow in the squad car?
Secondly, how did they expect to find her? She didn’t give them her address,
and if she had, it would have been a false one. All they had was the phone
number from the newspaper ad, and that could have been a pay phone or some
other public phone number she had used. Was Andy’s plan just to knock on every
door in Mt. Pilot and hope one of them was hers? Why didn’t he call the Mt.
Pilot sheriff and get him involved? It’s possible she didn’t even live in Mt.
Pilot at all, but some other town, who knows how far away. And lastly, suppose
by some miracle they were able to locate her, what then? Were they planning to
walk all the way back to Mayberry in the middle of the night? It just doesn’t
make any sense at all.
