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.
After a shaky start, male patrons accept the addition of a manicurist to Floyd's barbershop.
A Mayberry resident is convinced he is a jinx until Andy helps restore his self-confidence.
Choir director John Masters decides to give Gomer the solo in the upcoming concert instead of Barney. Gomer fakes laryngitis when he learns how important the part is to Barney.
Barney disguises himself as a dummy in an attempt to solve a series of thefts in a Mayberry department store.
