“Jonathan loses his cool at Jud Larrabee for not keeping his word about not changing their prices when someone comes along to buy grain from them. Later, Larrabee goes to Jonathan’s to “get back” but finds his son, Andy, and attacks him. Andy goes to his father and they go back home and they find their barn on fire. They think Larrabee did it so they go and arrest him. He’s brought to trial. Larrabee claims what happened to Andy was an accident and that he didn’t burn the barn.”
Barn Burner originally aired on February 19, 1979
The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
