Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Opie is made "Keeper of the Flame" for the Wildcats, a secret boy's club. Shortly thereafter, the club's meeting place, the barn of cantankerous Jubell Foster (Everett Sloane), burns to the ground. It takes the gentle prodding of Sheriff Andy-and an increasingly besotted Barney-to prove that Opie was not to blame. Best line: "He's not so dumb." Written by Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart, "Keeper of the Flame" first aired on January 8, 1962.
