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.

Andy teaches Ronald Bailey, the spoiled son of a rich man, the importance of being self-reliant and responsible.

After Opie is struck with puppy love, Barney tries to show him how to handle women.

After a shaky start, male patrons accept the addition of a manicurist to Floyd's barbershop.

Barney thinks it's time Andy got married, but Andy has a plan of his own.
