Andy Taylor is the widower sheriff of the small, sleepy North Carolina town of Mayberry. Andy and son Opie live with Aunt Bee, who takes care of the family. Andy's deputy is his bumbling but neurotically hilarious cousin, Barney Fife. Among Andy's Mayberry friends is the town's resident barber, Floyd.

Barney returns to Mayberry to attend his high-school reunion.

Barney is shamed into displaying his "legendary" courage by going after an escaped convict.

Aunt Bee agrees to a week of baby-sitting for her niece and finds the infant adores everyone but her.

Andy has a problem when a band of gypsies comes to Mayberry and puts a curse on the town.
