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.

Aunt Bee pretends that she is dating a married man to avoid being a third wheel after Clara convinces her that she is preventing romance from blossoming between Andy and Helen.

When two young women get a speeding ticket, they enjoy the attention from Andy and Barney.

Aunt Bee collects insurance for the loss of an antique pin, but finds it after she has spent the money.

An impostor takes the town of Mayberry when he introduces himself as Clarence Earp, descendant of the famous Wyatt.
