Andy struggles with the financial challenge of helping an impoverished congregation buy an organ.

Colonel Harvey, a traveling salesman, arrives at Mayberry and captivates Aunt Bee, who buys Harvey's dubious elixir and invites him for dinner. When Andy and Barney find Aunt Bee clearly drunk, they analyze Harvey's elixir.

Girl-shy Warren turns into a sleepwalking Casanova after watching his suave hero on TV.

Malcolm Merriweather, an English tourist, passes by Mayberry on a bicycle; after causing a traffic accident, he agrees to work off the damages as Andy's personal valet.
