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 and the town of Mayberry undergo a trying experience when the Darling family comes into a fortune of $300.
Goober, convinced that he has a severe case of whiplash, promptly becomes a helpless invalid.
Andy uses common sense and Barney uses modern technology to solve several burglaries at a filling station.
Aunt Bee and Howard both decide to run for the office of town councilman.
