Andy Griffith is the Chief of Police in a small town filled with quirky characters. An Army truck loaded with chemicals overturns and kills people. Was it an accident or sabotage? Andy goes into Matlock mode and leads the investigation. The quirkiness is at first funny, then irritating but ultimately self-defeating. It permeates every character and every situation, getting in the way of the plot. It's distracting and self-conscious in the worst possible way. The mystery is practically impossible to solve ahead of time, hinging on unrevealed character identities and relationships.
