Vito Scotti, Jamie Farr, Francesca Bellini, and Argentina Brunetti guest-star as a band of gypsies who bring their caravan into Mayberry. Correctly assuming that the visitors are less than honest, Andy tells them to leave, whereupon the gypsies place a curse on Mayberry, threatening to create a drought. Armed with "inside" weather information courtesy of a well-hidden shortwave radio, the gypsies are able to coerce the gullible townsfolk into allowing them to stay-but Andy is not quite so easily hoodwinked. Written by Roland MacLane, this episode originally aired on February 21, 1966.
