Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen greeting Mrs. Wiley, Rob says, "How do you do, Mrs. Wiley?" This is the same catch phrase Used by Ernest T. Bass in the Andy Griffith Show. Interestingly enough this episode Was directed by Howard Morris, who played Bass on the Griffith Show. As further evidence that this Was intentional, Morris's wife had the last name of Wiley.
- GoofsIf you watch carefully, there are wisps of feathers in the court room and especially around the judge even before Rob opens the package of feathers (probably from an earlier take).
- Quotes

Rob Petrie: I think I smell a rat.

Featured review
Ed Begley steals the show
Ed Begley had a long career on Broadway, in movies, and on television, specializing in dramatic roles. In this episode, Begley who won a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award in 1962 for his role of Boss Finley in "Sweet Bird of Youth," and who had a notable role in the film "12 Angry Men," plays a harried judge in a small claims court who is obliged to deal with Rob's inadvertent attempt to turn a simple small-claims court case into an episode of "Perry Mason." He and Van Dyke play well off of each other, and his straight-reactions to Rob's bumbling make this one of the better episodes of the series.
Alvy Moore's portrayal of the man who misrepresented a sale to the Petries may have been a precursor to his later role of Mr. Kimball on "Green Acres."
