Great minds think alike!

He would have grabbed the keys (Which always hung where he could reach them), answered the phone, then went out to find Barney or Andy to give them the message<<<In fact, i havent seen the show in 25 years but, I seem to vaguely recall a show where Otis did just that...but, I couldnt say for sure...anyone remember anything like that?

In Citizens Arrest there is a scene near the end Gomer calls and reports a robbery, Barney refuses to answer the phone so Otis does and goes into a panic.. Great scene....

Otis did something similar in the color episode where Andy was kidnapped by some criminals and Howard Sprague of all people had to come to his aid.

Episode was called "Otis the Deputy".

Yes Otis did like a rehash of the same scene when Andy didn't return on time. That was when the new writers seemed to be rehashing old scripts for ideas
