Plot Summary
Barney becomes "Mr. Independent Wheels" when he spends most of his savings on a used car -- only to find he's been taken by a bunco ring led by mastermind Myrt Lesh. By coincidence, Andy and Barney nab the gang when the crooks mistakenly resteal the car, which they think has been abandoned on a country road.
Odd Facts Known by Few
- In the first season episode Runaway Kid Barney is seen driving a car other than the squad car and Andy mentions "Barney's car," so the title of this episode is misleading.
