During the five seasons where Barney was a regular on the show and even including some guest appearances in subsequent seasons, Barney needed a lot of saving on his job by Andy. This episode wasn't the first of these and it wasn't the last--but it is a pleasant episode nonetheless.
The show begins with Barney very accidentally capturing a wanted criminal. Instead of acknowledging that it was all a fluke, his head (as usual) begins to swell and soon he's acting like a hero. But, when the man later escapes, Barney is naturally scared to death and ready to run for cover. So, it's up to old reliable Andy to step in behind the scenes and make it easy for Barney to catch the man again and save his reputation. And, as usual, Barney hasn't learned a darn thing in the process! Overall, a decent episode and one that further illustrates Andy's affection towards his boob of a deputy. Worth seeing, though it's not an especially funny episode--more just well-crafted and enjoyable.
