Herbie Faye & Joe De Santis - More Great TV Actors Of The Era

Herman's new hobby inadvertently gets him into trouble. The hobby is photography and while Herman is out taking pictures one afternoon, he snaps one of two bank robbers fleeing the scene, pistols in hand. Herman is too dumb to see what he's taken, so it's explained to him by Grandpa and Lily. It's especially evident the next day when there is a front page story of the holdup and a report that an unidentified man was seen in the area taking pictures. The robbers who remember the strange-looking auto (the "hoise," as one crook puts it in his best Brooklyn-ese) track down Herman at Mockingbird Lane.

Earlier slapstick scenes include Herman taking pictures in a park and scaring an old lady, who jumps in the lake, and a Daniel Boone statue, which comes alive and runs away.

The crooks were familiar actors to TV dramas and sitcoms in the 1950s through the '70s: Herbie Faye ("Rod") and Joe De Santis ("Lou"). You may not know their names, but you'd recognize their faces. Faye played "Cpl. Fender" on the famous Sgt. Bilko TV show.

Part of the fun of the episode - in fact, most of the second half - is watching the reaction of the two bank robbers to "normal, daily life" of the Munsters.
