While enjoying a day out with the others in Palm Springs, Sam runs into an old war buddy, Charlie Harris (Charles Bateman). The two lived it up as womanizers while serving in Tahiti. Charlie is a golf pro now at one of the local clubs. Charlie invites Sam and Millie to the driving range. Sam remembers they have to pick up Mike and Goober at the movies, to Millie's disappointment. Charlie suggests she stays behind and he will bring her home later. Charlie is very straightforward in showering Millie with compliments on her beauty, making her uncomfortable. When he walks her to the the door he kisses her just as Goober looks out. Goober turns away in shock and misses Millie slapping Charlie and storming inside. Millie dreads telling Sam who ends up playing it off with a laugh, angering her who feels she's being taken for granted as Sam's property. She retaliates by going to Charlie for a date. He surprises her by turning her down as "Sam's girl" and saying he was wrong before. She decides to go out anyway to make Sam think she's on a date, and stays late at a soda fountain comically trying every flavor. The two wrestle their feelings while away from one another.

Lots of Arlene Golonka

I rated the episode 10* for pretty Millie Swanson (Arlene Golonka) being in the lead role. But, there was some creepiness to the episode for sure. It was demeaning to have Millie crawling back to Charlie (Charles Bateman) begging for a date after he assaulted her. Then, Sam laughing off Millie's assault was pretty low.
Sam (Ken Berry) is really being dumbed down to accommodate bad scriptçs attempts at humor. Especially with farmers being intelligent running, maintaining, and dealing with all the adversity farmers do.
Sam's olive green car shows up at the Palm Springs golf course driven by Millie when it never left Mayberry. The vacationers aren't using much imagination in the pursuits of fun. Aunt Bee is slaving away in the kitchen on her vacation. Goober and Howard girlfriends, and Emmett's wife Martha all are missing.
