Short summary

Gomer's acts of kindness towards his new waitress friend is mistaken for romantic interest by her cruel Marine Sergeant boyfriend.

The title is from the fairytale of 'Beauty and the Beast', which has been made into several movies and TV shows.

When Gomer is standing in front of the movie theater, the one-sheet displayed behind him is an altered poster for Paramount's "Hell is for Heroes" (1962). For example, Steve McQueen's name has been changed to 'Pete McQueen' and Bob Newhart's name has been changed to 'Rod Dewhart'.
