(WHISTLING)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Oh, hello, Ella.
Come in.

Hello, Bee.

Well, I've been scouring
this town for news.

There just doesn't seem
to be anything happening.

You got any tidbits or anything?

Tidbits? Well, uh... No.

We go to press tomorrow morning.

Oh. Yeah, well...

Must be a challenge
writing a society column
every week.

Yeah, especially
when Mayberry society
is currently in the doldrums.

Why don't you check with Clara?

If anybody's doing anything,
she'd know about it.

I just came from there.

Oh, hi.
Oh, hello, Andy.

Oh, hi, Ella.
Hi, Andy.

Am I interrupting
anything?
No, no.

Ella's just out
looking for some scoops.

Oh. Well, uh,
Farley gave me this.

I thought it might be important.

Special delivery.

Special delivery?
Uh-huh.

Oh. Oh, it can't be.

Yes, it is, too.

Cousin Bradford.
Oh. Oh!

I haven't heard from him
for two years.

Who's Cousin Bradford?

Who's Cousin Bradford?
Is he anybody?

I'll say he is.

He's coming to visit us.

To visit us?
You're kidding.

Mmm-hmm.
He'll be arriving on Friday.

Oh, I'll finally get
a chance to meet him.

Who's Cousin Bradford?

Oh, he sold his copper mines
in Mexico.

He did?

Well, he wheels and deals,
I'll say that.

Well, who is he, Bee?

Oh, Ella...

Bradford is a cousin of mine
that I grew up with
in West Virginia.

Our fathers were brothers

and I haven't seen him
since I've been in my 20s,

but we correspond.

You know, not often,
every year or so.

It's hard to correspond
with anybody

that jumps around
as much as he does.

Exactly, and he's been
so successful,

internationally successful.

Oh... Mmm-hmm.

'Course, we all felt
that he was headed
for big things as a young man

but what he's done
in the last 30 years,

it was just beyond imagination.

A plantation in Brazil,

a 40,000-acre sheep ranch
in Australia.

Forty-one, actually.

Forty-one.

And financial advisor
to the Crown Prince
of Denmark.

I've read about
people like that.

How long does he say
he's staying?

Oh.

Well, he doesn't say.
He just says...

He's in America for the moment

and that he'd like
to use the opportunity
to see the family again.

Isn't that thoughtful?

Bee, you know,
this is just what I need
for my column.

Oh.

Andy?
Hmm?

I was just thinking.

What?

Wouldn't it be nice to give
a little party in his honor?

Bee, it would be
the social event of the year.

Well, Ella, that's not
the reason I'm doing it.

Well, I know,
but it's high time
somebody showed Clara Edwards

she's not the only pebble
on the beach.

It's just going to be
a little gathering

to introduce Bradford
to my friends,

just a simple little party.

EMMETT: Hey,
that's really something, huh?

Yep. I... I guess
mine's at home.

I ain't seen
the morning mail yet.

I understand
he's one of these men
with a Midas touch.

Everything turns to gold.

I wonder
if he'd like to invest
in a fix-it shop.

I could probably cut him in
for half a million or so.

(CHUCKLING)

Now you got it all mixed up.

Wonder what a guy like that has

that makes him a success
in every venture he goes into.

Moxie.
Plain, ordinary moxie.

Your Rockefellers, your Morgans,

this fellow,
Bradford Taylor,
they all got it.

Yeah, I guess,
and if you haven't got it,

you'll always be
one of the little guys.

Like us.

Well, what makes you think
I ain't got moxie?

If you did,
you wouldn't be pumping gas.

You'd be buying oil fields
someplace.

How do you know
that's not what
I'm planning to do?

Goober, there's no disgrace
in being a little fish
in a big pond.

Well, I just don't
want anybody saying
I ain't got moxie.

Okay, okay.

Good morning, boys.

Hi, Clara.
Hello, Clara.

How is everybody?
Fine and dandy.

Fine, fine.
Pretty good, pretty good.

Emmett?
Huh?

Is my heating pad ready yet?

Oh, yeah.

The trouble
was in your coil.
Oh.

Uh, how is your neuralgia?

Oh, it... it's better, thank you.

If you're gonna run her
all night, uh,
I'd keep it on "low."

Oh.

Clara, did you get
an invitation
to Aunt Bee's party?

Yes, I did.

I understand it's gonna be
some swanky affair.

Well, the whole thing seems
a little pretentious to me.

Well, it ain't often
we get a real tycoon
coming to town.

Well, I've always felt

that bloodlines
were more important
than money.

Fifty cents, isn't it?

"and with the presence
of the eminent guest of honor

"Bradford J. Taylor,

"it's certain to be
the most impressive soiree
of the social season."

(CHUCKLING) That Ella.

"Don't look now,
but our gracious hostess

"will undoubtedly become
the new queen 'Bee'
of Mayberry society."

The "Bee" is in quotes.

Oh, Ella is clever.
She embarrasses me.

Oh, I've got a million things
to do before tonight.

Now, I've sent Andy down
to meet Bradford.

Well, I would have supposed

he'd come in
on his own private plane.

No, no, by train.

He didn't even want
to bother anybody
to go and meet him,

but I thought
it was only proper.

Now, let's see.

I've polished the silverware
and I've made the ice cream.

You made the ice cream?

Mmm-hmm.

I want this to be
a very special party
for a very special guest.

Well, uh, uh,
good afternoon, Officer.

Uh, b-b-beautiful day, isn't it?

You want to just hold it?

What were you doing
in that freight car?
Uh, freight car.

Oh, yes, Officer, of course.

I can understand your confusion.

You see, when I got out
of my private car up ahead,

I, uh, came back here
to look at the interior
of these freight cars

to determine if they were
commodious enough

for some of the shipments
that I'm planning.

I see.

Yeah. It's not
a simple matter, you know,

to ship 10,000 head
of Texas longhorns.

Are you, by any chance,
Bradford J. Taylor?

Bradford J...

(CHUCKLING) Well, I see
news of my arrival
has preceded me.

(CHUCKLING)

I was hoping I could
slip into town quietly
without any fanfare.

I'm, uh, Bee Taylor's nephew.

Andy Taylor.

Bee's... Oh!

Well, you don't mean that.

Of course. Of course.

Now I recall her writing to me

that she was, uh, living
with some relatives, yes.

You know what might be
a good idea?

If before we go home,
we stop by my office
and have a little chat.

Oh.

Well, yes, I'd be delighted.

You know, Officer,
I've... I've been admiring
your countryside.

It... It reminds me
of a little spot

I ran across in my travels.

Let's see, now, where was it?

In the...
In the northern part
of Mozambique.

Funny. We've always said
the same thing.

But, Andy, it's just
a temporary setback.

(STAMMERING)
There's nothing
to be alarmed about.

I'm thinking of Aunt Bee.

Ah, dear Bee.

Yes. By all odds,
my favorite relative.

Then why have you been
fooling her all these years?

Fooling her? Who, me?

Yeah. Making her think
you're some kind of
international businessman.

Well, I am, Andy, I am.
I still claim that.

Now, if it hadn't been
for a few unfortunate
circumstances...

Such as?
Oh, short-sighted bankers,

unreasonable local officials,
inefficient help.

What about... What about
that copper mine in Mexico?

Oh, Andy, we came that close.

That close, yes.
Oh, we just ran out
of capital

before the shaft was completed.

What about the racetrack
in Africa?

The paper mill in Canada?

Oh, now, those were both
sound financial ventures.

It was just my great misfortune

to get caught in a squeeze
in the... in the...
the pound sterling area.

I don't know what to do.

I really don't know what to do.

The way you've been
misleading Aunt Bee.

Oh, Andy, misleading her?

Why, these things were... were
always right within my grasp.

I... I'm sure they were.
I'm sure they were,

but somehow
they slipped away from you.

Now, I'm not... I'm not
trying to put you down,

but the way Aunt Bee's
been boasting about you,

when all this comes out,
she's going to be
embarrassed to death.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

'Course, I guess
it doesn't have to come out.

Of course.

It doesn't have to come out.

Besides, one of my projects

may come to fruition any minute.

Maybe. Maybe.

How long are you
planning to stay?

Well, I, uh...

I hadn't set any
departure date but, uh...

Whatever you suggest.

Maybe a couple of days.

Couple of days.
Yeah.

(CLEARS THROAT)
Now, Aunt Bee is throwing
a big party

in your honor tonight.

So, for her sake,
we won't say anything

about your coming in
on a freight train
or anything.

Oh. Oh, fine.

That's fine. Right.

Yes, I will see Bee
for a short while

and after my brief visit,
I shall go forth on my way

with new worlds to conquer.

Well, thank you again, my dear.

And I must say it was
very nice meeting you.

Oh, so nice
to meet you.
Thank you.

Certainly cuts quite
a figure, doesn't he?
Yeah.

You can tell just
by looking at him
he's important.

(DOOR OPENING)
He's got that sweet smell
of success about him.

Uh-oh, there's Clara.

Oh, Clara, I'm so glad
you could come.

Why, I wouldn't miss it.

The soiree of the season.

I'd like to introduce you

to my cousin, Bradford Taylor.

Clara Edwards,
my dear, dear friend.

How do you do?
I'm delighted
to meet you.

Bradford's just in from Mexico.

He sold
his copper interests.
Oh.

My family was in cotton.

Ah.

Uncle Bradford?
Uh, yes, Opie?

Where was your mine?

The atlas doesn't
show any copper

in that part of Mexico.

BRADFORD:
(STAMMERING) Well,

my geologists assured me

there were
tremendous deposits
in that area.

(SPUTTERING)

He's a bright lad, isn't he?

Yes, he's a bright one.

(CLEARS THROAT)
Ope, you want to kind of
come in the kitchen

and help with the food
and ice cream and stuff?

Sure, Paw.

GOOBER:
No kidding.

BRADFORD:
Oh, yes, yes, indeed, yes.

So I sold short,
and the next thing

the averages
dropped seven points

and then I parlayed it
in commodities.

Oh, Mr. Taylor.

Well, thank you, my dear.

Here's a spoon
and a spoon for you.

And there you are,
Goober.
Strawberry, my favorite.

Oh, isn't he charming?

Yes, in a rather
flamboyant sort of way.

Mmm. Oh, Bee,
this is delicious.

Oh, thank you.
I made it myself.

Homemade, eh?

Oh, I... I haven't
had that in years.

Well, Aunt Bee makes the best.

First prize at the county fair.

Really? Well,
I can believe that.

You know something?
I've been
all over the world

and this is by far
the best I've ever tasted.

Well, it's just
an old family recipe.

Old family recipe?
Oh, my dear, these things
sometimes have great value.

Yes, there's
a whole chain of shops

selling nothing
but Southern fried chicken

all based on
an old family recipe.

Really?
Oh, yes. Oh, you ought

to do something about this.

Oh, don't be silly.

I wouldn't have
the slightest idea
how to go about it.

Well, you got a real expert
right here in the family.

Oh, well, uh, yes, I, uh...

Uh, oh, no, no, no.

I, uh, I'm afraid
I wouldn't have time.

You see, uh,
I have to be in Bangkok
the early part of the week.

Uh, Aunt Bee?
Hmm?

Aunt Bee, uh...
Well, uh...
What? What's the matter?

Well, don't you...
don't you think it's time
to serve the coffee?

Oh, yes, but did you hear
what Cousin Bradford said?

He thinks my ice cream
ought to be on the market.

Oh, yeah, but you
know how he is,

always thinking big.

I... I don't think
it's anything for you.

Oh, well, probably not.

Well, coffee, everybody!

Bee's Homemade Ice Creams.

Nah.

Mayberry Pride Ice Creams.

No.

Bradford International
Ice Creams.

Well, what did Emily say?

Well, she said it was just
the most exciting party
we've ever had in Mayberry.

(CHUCKLING) Mmm-hmm.

Go ahead, ask me.

Ask you what?

What Clara said.
Don't you want to know?

Well, I just hope
she had a nice time.

Her only comment was,
"The party couldn't have cost
too much money,

"what with homemade ice cream
and everything."

Oh, my goodness, too bad
she puts everything
on such a basis.

She's just green with envy.

(CHUCKLING)

Ah, good morning, ladies.

Good morning, Bradford.
Breakfast?

No, thank you,
my dear, j-just coffee.

Uh, where... where's Andy?

Oh, he had to drive over
to Mt. Pilot,

but he'll be back
this afternoon.
Oh.

Did you sleep well
after that wonderful party?

Well, not really, my dear.

I, uh, I had a lot of things
to think about.

Oh, exciting things.

Oh, Bradford,
what kind of things?

Well, it's your ice cream, Bee.

It has a magic quality,
a quality that could cause

a major realignment in
the ice cream industry.

That is, if it were
properly marketed.

Oh, I knew you liked it...

Liked it?
Liked it, my dear?
Why, it's ambrosia.

Now, my plan would be
to market this ice cream,

this treasured family recipe,

from coast to coast.

Coast to coast?
Yeah, that is, until
we go international.

International?
Well, where's my pad?

Well, I can
hardly believe my ears.

Oh, I wish Andy were here.

Oh, Andy. Uh, I'm afraid
we can expect

some initial resistance
from Andy.

He seems to be
something of a skeptic.

Ah, but I'm sure we
can bring him around.

I wonder where we're going
to get the money for all this.

Ah, the money.

Now, I've considered that

and it seems to me
it would be only proper
to share this venture

with the good citizens
of Mayberry.

Allow them to participate,
uh, financially.

Ooh.

Well, I just know
they'd be thrilled.

Thrilled.

We'll spread the word.
Spread the word.

As you see,
it's a whole new concept.

Yes, new flavors, new textures,

in short...
Happenings in ice cream.

You say there's
a meeting tonight
at Bee's?

Oh, yes. Yes, indeed,
and everyone is welcome.

Well, ladies, if you
will excuse me, I've...

My, what a pretty little lady.

Mmm.

Seems very strange
that a man who had to
be in Bangkok next week

would stop in Mayberry
to dabble in a thing
like this.

The way I got it figured,

once we put up
the money tonight,

the profits
ought to start rolling in
in two or three months.

I might go
to Florida next summer.

Hmm, well, I'm not
counting my chickens
before they're hatched.

Hi, guys.

Hi, Andy.
Hi, Andy, Andy.

We were just talking about it.

I guess it's the biggest thing

that ever happened
to Mayberry.
What?

The deal, Andy, the deal.

I... I've been
in Mt. Pilot all day.
What deal?

Oh, well then I guess
you ain't heard.

Bradford's starting a chain
of ice cream stores

and it's going to go
from coast to coast.

He's letting everybody
in Mayberry in on it.

(ALL TALKING)

I'll see you.

Oh, hello, Andy.

I heard about
this ice cream thing.

Isn't it exciting?
Bradford ought to be
right back

and then he can
tell you all about
the business end of it.

Aunt Bee... What's the matter?

Well...

You might as well stay
and hear this, too, Opie.

I wasn't leaving.

Well, uh...

You know how we, uh,

sometimes tend
to put people
on a pedestal?

I might as well
come right out with it.

I caught your Cousin Bradford

trying to slip into town
in a freight car.

Andy...
You mean he's a bum?

Oh, no, no, he... he's not a bum.

Why he owns a sheep ranch
in Australia

and a coffee
plantation in Brazil.

No. He... No, he doesn't.

He doesn't?
No. I'm sorry.

He's just one of
those big promoters
that never made it.

You mean
all those letters
were lies?

No, no, not lies exactly.

I think he was fooling himself
as much as he was fooling you,

but the important thing is

he is not the big businessman
that you think he is

and I wouldn't want
my money with him.

The ice cream parlors.

Everybody's planning
to put their money in it.

Yeah, but nobody's lost
any money yet.

Oh, how am I going
to face my friends

and especially Clara?

Andy, we have to move.

Oh...
I can't move
till after graduation.

No, wait... wait, we're not...
we're not gonna move,
we're not gonna move.

And just try not to worry
and I'll take care
of everything.

No, no, no, it's
my responsibility.

I'll tell them the truth...

At the meeting tonight.

Ah, good news, good news.

I just got
the minister's blessing
and a pledge for $100.

(CRYING)

Bradford, I think we better go

in the living room
and have a little talk.

Yes, but I would like...

W-Well, Andy, I... I see
you've heard of our venture

and I... and I sensed
what your immediate
reaction would be,

b-but I want to point out...

(STUTTERING)
Look, look, look.

Now, I know
that your intentions
were of the very best,

but let me just
put it to you straight.

I don't want Aunt Bee
and the other people
in Mayberry

to get involved
with short-sighted bankers

or get caught in a squeeze

in the pound sterling areas.

No, but, Andy,
uh, this is
a fabulous opportunity.

I'm sure it is,

but we're just going to
have to pass it by.

But, Andy... When can you leave?

Well,

whenever you suggest.

Right now.

Right now?

Right now. I think
it would be for the best.

B-But my leaving
will put Bee in
a very embarrassing position

at th-that meeting tonight.

I'm sure it will,
but we'll just
have to manage,

Uncle Bradford.

Oh.

I still hated to see him go.

Well, I offered
to drive him to the station,

but he said he'd rather walk.

Well, I'm glad he
took it philosophically.
Yeah.

Uh, I slipped him a few bucks
so he could get by.

So did I.

Now, um, about this meeting,

they'll be here in a little bit.

Now, are you sure
you don't want to go upstairs

and let me explain everything
to them?

No, no, I prefer
to face them myself.

I'll just simply
tell them the truth

and it's better from me
than from Clara.

She's suspicious already

and if she ever got wind of
this and she told everybody,

well, it would look like
I was concealing something.

Mr. Taylor.

Oh. Oh, well...

Well, uh...
Miss Edwards, I believe.

Why, you're leaving us,
Mr. Taylor.

I thought you'd be
at the meeting tonight.

Oh, no... no... no,
I'm... I'm... I'm afraid

I won't be able to attend.

I really must be on my way.

Is anything wrong?

Wrong? Wrong?
Why, no, I...

You can tell me.
I'm practically
one of the family.

Oh.

Well, I suppose
the time has come

for perfect frankness
and honesty.

The truth of the matter is...

(CHATTERING)

Emmett says we
can't have pistachio.

Oh, why not, Emmett?

I didn't say
we couldn't have it.

I just said
we're all partners now.
So we have to vote on it.

Let's hear it for Aunt Bee.

Please, please.

I have something
I'd like to tell you.

If you'll all quiet down,

Aunt Bee has an important
announcement to make.

(SHUSHING)

Shh.

Dear friends... (DOOR OPENING)

Oh, Bee.

BEE: Oh, oh, Clara.

I just ran into your cousin

on the way to
the railroad station.

Have you told them yet?

I was about to.

He told me why he was leaving.

Uh, would you like me
to inform all our
dear friends here

or will you?
Well, why don't you,
Clara?

You seem very anxious.

(CROWD MURMURING)

She knows.

Oh, why did she have to
be the one to find out?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm afraid you're all
going to have to forget

your little ice cream business
and your visions of wealth.

(MURMURING)

How come?
Well, what happened?

I'll tell you
exactly what happened.

Bradford Taylor
was called away
by the State Department

to deal with a shipping crisis
in the Far East.

(TALKING INAUDIBLY)

What?

He asked me to convey
his deepest regret

and he's sorry
that he had to leave

before his enterprise
could be started,

but as he said,

"A man's country comes
before his private gain."

Oh.
Oh.

There's a real American.

And all we were
thinking about
was ice cream.

It's our patriotic duty
to let him go.

He gave me a little kiss
for us all to remember him by.

Do you know what I think?

I think Mayberry
has been blessed

with a visit from greatness.

You gonna set 'em straight?

Well, in all fairness,
Andy, what would I say?

We don't know that
the State Department
didn't call Bradford.

We're not absolutely sure.

No.

No, you're right.
We're... We're not
absolutely sure.

Anything today?

Yes. Finally,
a letter from Bradford.

No kidding. I wondered
if he'd ever write us again.
Where is he?

Someplace in Minnesota.

Minnesota?
What's he doing up there?

He's in the fur business.

No kidding.

Maybe he finally got
into something solid, huh?

Yes.

There's a fortune
in the fur business.

Which end of it
is he in, does he say?

Breeding. He's interested
in some kind of
a breeding farm.

He's working out a system
of crossing mink with rabbits.

What?

He hopes to capture
the entire mink-dyed
rabbit market.
