What do you do with a goat full of dynamite? Nobody in Mayberry seems to know, least of all Otis, who shows up even more 'loaded' than the goat.What do you do with a goat full of dynamite?

Great writing hampered by implausibility

Does anyone really think that dynamite in a goat's stomach, amid all that digestive liquid, could EVER explode? If you can suspend your disbelief, this was otherwise one of my favorite episodes.

Trivia
Floyd the Barber (Howard McNear) is mentioned and the opening scene takes place in his barber shop, but in real life he suffered a major stroke and wouldn't return until Season 4, noticeably slimmer and unable to walk without assistance.

Goofs
Opie rides his bike on the sidewalk and meets Andy and Barney at the doors to the Sheriff's Office. In Opie and the Spoiled Kid (1963), riding a bicycle on the sidewalk was not allowed and resulted in a reprimand and later, after a repeat offense, in confiscation.
