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.

Helen and her teenage students convince the principal the younger generation is no different from his own.
The town's new doctor is shunned by all the Mayberry citizens.
Opie and his friend find an abandoned baby and run into trouble when they try to find it some new parents.
Andy and four of his level-headed friends and relatives are taken in by a con man's get-rich-quick scheme.
