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.

Opie signs up for a race to win a medal, but he loses and learns an important lesson in good sportsmanship instead.

Andy's diplomacy and modern engineering techniques are required to upgrade the music of the town choir.

Emmett buys his wife a mink coat for their 25th wedding anniversary.

To celebrate Founder's Day, Andy and Barney decide to choose a stranger at random to be Mayberry's Guest of Honor. Unbeknownst to them, the person they have chosen turns out to be a pickpocket.
