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 and Thelma Lou have an argument. When Andy tries to console Barney, it leads to a parade of other arguments among Andy, Barney, Thelma Lou and Helen.

Barney starts wearing his uniform all the time after a tough guy threatens to beat him up if he catches Barney out of uniform.

Goober has dreams of entering show business when he thinks he owns a genuine talking dog.

Aunt Bee gets a job at the town print shop, where the new proprietors are actually counterfeiters.
