Andy's deputy is his bumbling but neurotically hilarious cousin, Barney Fife. Among Andy's Mayberry friends is the town's resident barber, Floyd.

Andy and Sam try to find Goober a girlfriend through a dating service.

Sam Jones brings his friend Mario from Italy to help him on the farm.

Opie gets a part-time job in a grocery store but gives it up because another boy needs the job more.

Andy is jealous when he realizes that a handsome teacher is spending evenings with Helen.
