Tropes associated with this episode:

  • Burn Baby Burn: The barn fire that kicks off the plot.
  • Child Hater: Jubal Foster doesn't like the fact that the boys are constantly on his property, and never ceases to forget to remind Andy of it.
  • Hillbilly Moonshiner: Jubal Foster hides the fact that he is one, and uses the barn fire to cover up his illegal activities and commit insurance fraud.
  • You Talk Too Much!: Jubal Foster, when he starts listing items other than the cost of the barn that were destroyed in the fire, continues to insist that the boys were guilty of starting the fire and brags when it appears Andy is ready to admit Opie was responsible, arousing Andy's suspicions but — without evidence — can't charge him with anything. This gives Barney time to (unwittingly) reveal the truth.
