"Hey look me over Lend me an ear Fresh out of clover Mortgage up to here But don't pass the plate folks Don't pass the cup I figure whenever you're down and out The only way is up And I'll be up like a rose bud High on the vine Don't thumb your nose But take a tip from mine I'm a little bit short of the elbow room But let me get me some And look out world Here I come"

Turned off the main breaker and pulled the switch and outlet out of the box.
Turns out the wires connected to the outlet fixture were very loose.
Also, the ground wires were floating around and really close to the metal of the box.
The outlet fixture did have a ground screw and the wires were modern and in good shape.
I resecured everything and used a lamp to see if the circuit was working after I turned the power back on.
I also used a two prong tester to see if the box was no longer carrying a current.
As the guys said, an electrician is the best course. But with the price of gas, it's difficult to get an electrician to drive here for such a simple fix.
