Alert! Alert!

Andy, always ready to leap into action, almost blows the whole operation by being too eager to save Rusty and the little spotted dog.  Good thing Mark is there to hold him back (or give him a doggy treat or a little pat on the head) before he can do anything stupid.  Watching from their hiding place, Mark and Andy finally get a close look at Moe and Larry, and frankly, the look isn't a good one.  (I don't know about you, but I'd be a little reluctant to run at a guy with a gun, but I'm not Mark Trail, and Mark Trail can probably punch a bullet out of the air, so he'll probably be fine.)  While Mark and Andy look on and plan their next move, the Jack Elrod Ball continues to play both sides in an attempt to free Rusty and distract the criminals (who, despite telling Rusty that he was going to help them move the log, seem to have left him in the car) by helping them move the log from where it had conveniently fallen across the road.  (I'm not really sure how it's going to help seeing as how it doesn't have arms, but maybe it can get under the log and they can use it as a kind of pivot point to swing said log to the side of the road.)  But before this can begin, Moe, finally showing some kind of sense, looks a little nervous about the whole log moving operation, and with good cause for as you can clearly see, his turtleneck has changed from white to the golden color of his shirt, indicating that the danger level has just been raised from "Everything Is Hunky-Dory" to "Did You Hear Something?" and soon it will turn the brilliant red color of "Ahhhh!  Zombies!  Get The Heck Out Of Here Or We're All Going To Die!!!"  Hopefully Moe is well acquainted with what the different colors mean or he's going to be in for quite a surprise in a comic or two (or three or four or whenever the rescue attempt finally takes place).
