(WHISTLING)

Did you sleep well, Andy?
Oh, fine, fine.

Thank you.

Paw! Aunt Bee!
I got an answer!

Oh.
Listen to this.

What?

"Dear Mr. Taylor,
Huh.

"our talent committee
has examined your drawing
and have concluded

"that you have an exceptional
artistic talent."
Oh, my.

"We foresee
a great future for you
as a commercial artist.

"Don't neglect this talent.

"Our professional course
of 12 complete lessons

"is available to you by return
mail for the modest sum of

"$98.50."

Gee, they didn't say
anything about charging
for the lessons.

Gee whiz.
Nothing comes free, Ope.

What's the rest of the mail?

Well, I'd ask them
to send back your picture.

I'm no art expert,

but I think
that's one of the best
horses I have ever seen.

Aunt Bee,
you been behaving yourself?

What?

(CLEARING THROAT)
Municipal court...

Mt. Pilot... Judicial district?

You want to tell us about it?

Well, there's probably
a very logical explanation
for this... this.

There's nothing
to get alarmed about.

Would you open
that for me, Andy?

Well, well, well...

A-ha, you're in trouble.

Well, I didn't do it,
whatever it is.

What is it?

You're about to become a juror.

On a jury?

Well, that's the usual place
you find one.

Well, Andy,
I don't know anything
about law or crime.

Uh, that's all right.
They'll tell you.

Well, my garden club's
on Thursday, you know.
Hmm...

That's okay.
This is on Monday.

Oh?

What if you have
to send somebody
to the electric chair?

Opie!
Well, you never know,
do you, Paw?

No, I doubt that'll happen.

I hope I can discharge my duty.

Oh, I'm sure you will.

What if the guy you send
to the chair is innocent?

Opie, I'm not going
to send anybody to the chair.

I've got to go into
what I'm going to wear.

Something somber would be
appropriate, hmm?

No, I wouldn't
fluff up too much.

You sure Aunt Bee won't
mind me coming along, Andy?

No, she said it'd be fine.

She's the first juror
that's been called
from Mayberry in a long time.

Yeah.

I hope Miss Crump said
it'd be okay
for you to miss school.

Yeah, she said
it'd be educational.

Well, she's right about it
being educational, Ope.

I always say
any worldly experience
is a universal thing.

Yeah.

Aunt Bee, you coming?

Hey, Aunt Bee.
Hello, Goober.

I just thought I'd come along
to give you moral support.

Thank you, Goober.

Now, Andy, I think
we'd better go over
the arrangements

in case I get locked up.

Aunt Bee, I keep trying
to tell you
they don't lock up jurors

on small cases
which is probably
what you'll get.

Well, we better be prepared.

Now, first,
in the refrigerator
is a rib roast.

That should take care of you
tonight and tomorrow night

and Clara's kindly consented
to make you
a chicken casserole.

And that should take care
of you Wednesday and Thursday.

And by Friday, I should be home.

We'll be delighted to see you.

(CHATTERING)

JUDGE: Will the clerk
call the next potential juror
to the stand?

They only need one more.
Maybe they won't use you.

Have you noticed
they're all men?

I guess they don't want
a woman on the case.

CLERK: Miss Bee Taylor.
Ooh.

Go on up, Aunt Bee.
Is Miss Taylor here,
please?

We'll be rooting for you,
Aunt Bee.

Well, goodbye, children.

Miss Taylor,
you will answer all questions
by the prosecutor

in order
that they may determine
your suitability as a juror.

Mr. Gilbert.

Sit down, Miss Taylor.

Miss Taylor, are
you aware of the

responsibilities of a
juror, of your obligation

to render an unbiased opinion
based on the facts
and only the facts

as they will be presented
in this courtroom during
the course of this trial?

Yes, I am.

Now, what's your occupation,
Miss Taylor?

Oh! Oh, I take care
of my nephew, Andy Taylor,
and his son, Opie.

They're sitting
right over there.
Stand up, boys.

That won't be necessary,
Miss Taylor.

Boy, is she a character,
isn't she?

I take it then, Miss Taylor,
that you're a homemaker.

Yes. Mmm-hmm.
I love to cook

and as for keeping the house
in order, I think cleanliness
is next to godliness.

Yes, good.

Now then...
And I'm also very active
in the Garden Club.

I didn't want
to withhold anything.

She's head of
the Civic Improvement League,
too.

Oh, I haven't been
active there for some time,
Goober.

Uh, Miss Taylor,
we're fascinated
by all this,

but would you please
just answer
the counselor's questions?

Yes, of course.

Uh, Miss Taylor, the accused
in the forthcoming case

has been charged with
the theft of merchandise
worth more than $2,000.

Now, if the prosecution
were able to prove
to your satisfaction

beyond a reasonable doubt
that the accused
did steal the merchandise,

would you be capable
of finding him guilty?

Yes. If I were
completely convinced
of his guilt,

it would be my duty.

Exactly.

Now, if there are
no objections from the defense

I would like to move
that Miss Taylor be accepted

as the final juror in this case.

No objections.

Quiet. Quiet in the courtroom.

Miss Taylor,

would you be seated and await
further instructions?

Yes, of course.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

You know I always had
the feeling that I'd make
a good lawyer

if I'd been given opportunity.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I can always tell
when somebody's fibbing.

That's
the most important thing
with a lawyer.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, when you coming in, Paw?
The trial's already started.

Oh.

And, among the items stolen
from the store
were two typewriters,

several toasters,
a waffle iron,
a large stereo combination

and a TV set.

That's terrible.

There are some smaller items,

which, if there is
no objection from the defense,

I shall give to the clerk
for the record.

Proceed.
Thank you.

Now, members of the jury,
I shall prove beyond
a reasonable doubt

that Marvin Jenkins did
indeed break into
Brice's department store,

that he was
recognized leaving
the scene of the crime,

that he failed to stop
when he was called out to,

and that he did leave
his fingerprints
all over the looted store.

In short, I shall prove
that Marvin Jenkins
is guilty!

(CHATTERING)

Gee...

(GAVEL THUMPING)
I feel sorry for him, Paw.

Well, Ope,
you have to feel sorry
for any man that goes astray.

(CHUCKLES)
Sounds like he did, too.
Yeah.

Oh, you ain't kidding.

I call as my first witness,
Charles Keyes.

How do you spell "Keys?"
Huh?

I don't know.
Like keys in a lock, hmm?

MAN: Do you swear to tell
the truth the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?

KEYES: I do.
Please take the stand.

Did you catch his first name?
Huh? No.

Charles.

Charles.
GILBERT: Now, Mr. Keyes,

would you tell us,
in your own words,

what you saw
on the night in question?

Well, it was about 9:30
and I was coming out
of my own shop,

walking down the alley,

and I saw Marvin Jenkins
coming out of the back
of Brice's department store

carrying a TV set.

Well, I hollered at him.

You know,
I've known him for years.

All I wanted was a ride home.

When he saw me,
he nearly dropped the set.

Then he put the set
in his truck and then
drove off like a crazy man.

I figured to myself that...
Oh, dear. Would you wait
just a minute?

I have to get a new pen.
I beg your pardon?

Would somebody
please lend me a pen?

Or would the court be
good enough to supply one?

Miss, uh...

What is your name?
Miss Bee Taylor.

I didn't quite catch yours.

Well, we'll save
the introductions for now.

Are you taking notes,
Miss Taylor?

Yes. It'll make quite certain
I don't forget the facts.

Well, a juror can sometimes
tell as much by

the witness' behavior
as by his testimony.

Proceed, Counselor.

Mr. Keyes, I was asking
whether, in your opinion
the accused was

trying to avoid detection
and if so...

Mr. Jenkins,
suppose you tell the court
exactly how you happened to be

in the store the night
the robbery occurred.

Well,

I was watching a movie on TV
and the set went out on me.

It was about 9:00.

I figured Brice's was
still open so I'd take
the set down there,

have it repaired
and get it back
by morning.

Go on.

When I got down there,
the front door was locked,

but I saw a light
around the back.

So I went around the alley,
and the back door was open.

I figured somebody was in there,

so I took the set and I went in,

but there wasn't nobody there.
JUDGE: Go on.

Well, I was coming out
of the place

and that's
when Charles Keyes
called out to me.

I figured
this has got to look bad,

me coming out with the set,
so I... I beat it.

Your witness.

(CHUCKLING)
You talk about
a fairy story, huh?

The door was open.
That's better than
a fairy story.

Oh, boy.

I wonder if anybody saw him
bring the television set in.

Mr. Jenkins.

Whoo-hoo!

Mr. Jenkins.
Uh, you called Miss Taylor?

Oh, I want to ask Mr. Jenkins
a question.

Oh, I see.

Well, ordinarily we let
the counselors
ask the questions.

Oh, well.
I didn't mean to intrude.

Oh, you're very kind.
Thank you.

Proceed, Counselor.

Uh, Mr. Jenkins, you
say the door was open.

Yes, sir.

Well, Mr. Jenkins,
may I suggest to you that
the door was not open,

that you, in fact,
forced the door open
and then proceeded to remove

from Brice's department store
the articles which
are listed on that table.

Now you've heard
all the evidence,
and it is your obligation

as a jury to bring
in a verdict based
on that evidence.

Bailiff, escort them
to the jury room.

(SIGHING)
Well...

How long do you suppose
it'll take, Paw?

Oh, it's hard to tell, Ope.

Sometimes it goes fast,
sometimes hours, days.

I guarantee you
this will be a fast one.
Yeah.

It's open and shut.
Got a match.

No, no, no.

Hey, maybe we got time
for a cup of coffee?
Yeah.

(COUGHING)

(KNOCKING)

This is, uh, my first time
on a jury and of course
I want to see that the man

gets every fair consideration

even though the decision
seems rather obvious.

The finger of guilt points...

MAN: I move we take a vote.
Any objections?

MEN: No!

Mr. Foreman?
Miss Taylor?

I think we should discuss
the case first.

Discuss it?
What's to discuss?

He was seen leaving
with the TV set.

Yes, and a place
like Brice's doesn't
leave a door open.

His fingerprints were
found on the inside.

Yeah.
And he ran
when his friend called him.

Yes, well, the evidence
does seem overwhelming.

Well, then,
what are we waiting for?

Why not vote?
Lady, you give us
one good reason.

Well, uh... It's just that...

He seems such a sweet man.

I wish we'd hear something.

Seems like we've
been here forever.

Well,

maybe the jury found
something to discuss
about the case.

Well, to me,
it's cut-and-dried.
Well...

Still out.
Hmm.

Well, you know
what it usually is
in a case like this.

One stubborn juror.

Yeah, that can happen.

Aren't they supposed
to take a vote?

They probably took
a couple already.
Got to be unanimous.

Oh.
Hmm.

Well, I think I'll go on back.

Okay. Keep us posted.
Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

You want some pie?

Okay.

Who's buyin'?

Me.
Apple?

Mmm-hmm.

One apple pie
and a banana split.

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Not guilty."

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Well, I just can't help it!

MAN: Can't help it?
Miss Taylor!

Yes?
Miss Taylor,
if you could give us one...

If you could just give us just
one little reason why you feel
he is not guilty.

Well, it's just that he's...
MAN: Sweet.

Sweet.

No, it's not just that.

It's his whole deportment
and his appearance.

Have you men
noticed his eyes?
MAN: Eyes.

Pure hazel.

What do his eyes
have to do with it?

He's got wavy hair, too,
but so did Dillinger.

Well, I just don't feel
he's guilty.
Don't feel...

(MEN SIGHING)

Gentlemen, gentlemen,

I imagine Miss Taylor's
as tired as we are.

Miss Taylor,

do you think that
if you slept on it,

that tomorrow morning
you might be
a little more specific?

Well...

I'll try.

Good night, all.

MAN ON T.V.: And so,
members of the jury,

the evidence proves
incontrovertibly that
the accused, Jonathan Benton,

who sits there so calmly,

is guilty of the heinous crime
of murder in the first degree.

The State rests its case,
Your Honor.

Well, I knew he was guilty
from the first commercial.

Well, it's easy to tell
who's guilty on television.

They make them mean
and squinty-eyed
and give them scars.

Everything you need to know.

Well, I guess
I'd better go right in, hmm?
Yeah.

Well, bye.
Bye.

Bye, Aunt Bee.

Well, we might as well start
with the coffee.
Yeah.

Hi. That lady
you were talking to, uh,
Hmm?

Did she happen to say
what was taking the jury
so long?

No, she didn't.

Got a match?

No.
No.

Got a match?
Hmm? No, sorry.

That's what happens
when you lose your lighter.

Hmm.
Yeah.

There you are.
Oh! Thank you.

Well,

now that we've all had
a good night's sleep

and had time to consider
everything very carefully,

I don't think it'll take us
too long to reach a verdict.

Uh, does anybody
have any comments?

Miss Taylor.

Well,

first, I want to say
I'm very sorry about
being such a nuisance

about this...
Oh, that's perfectly
all right, Miss Taylor.

We certainly understand
your hesitation to send a man
to prison.

It's not an easy thing to do.
Thank you.

Now I have surprise for us.
Hmm!

I made us some brownies.

Brownies?
Mmm. I thought they'd be
nice to nibble on

while we discuss the case.

We might even send some
in to Judge Cranston
while he's waiting.

Miss Taylor,
BEE: Yes?

The brownies are
very thoughtful.

But, uh, since we last met,
have you had any

what we might call
constructive thoughts
regarding this case?

Yes, I have.
Good!

I think we should
discuss it some more.

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

(COUGHING)

"Not guilty."

Miss Taylor...
I know, I know. Why can't
I be more specific?

But, Mr. Dickerson,
we just can't send
that poor man to jail.

Jail's not so bad.

You get good food, a nice bed.

All free.

And you can send him
some brownies.

But I just don't think
he did it.

(SIGHING)

Hey! I gotta
call my wife.

I was supposed to take her
to the doctor.

Tell the bailiff to call her.

How much longer
are we gonna be here?

Tell your wife
they made a mistake.
The jury got life.

Paw! The jury's back in!

They say it's hung
and they say
it's Aunt Bee's fault!

Come on, Goober.
Hung? Hung? Opie,
they've hung that boy!

That's terrible.
Oh, that's terrible.

(LOUD CHATTERING)

Here, here.
Sit down, sit down.

Excuse me, have you seen,
uh, Miss Bee Taylor?

For the last time, I hope.

Oh, thank you, thank you.
Aunt Bee, Aunt Bee!
Aunt Bee! Over here.

(CHATTERING)
Come on.

I'm awfully sorry about this,
but I still think
he's innocent.

I don't get it.
Speak to her.

I don't get it, lady.
They caught the man
red-handed.

A fella steals a TV,
a toaster, a stereo, a radio,
and you let him go!

I still don't think
he's guilty and I cannot
in good conscience

say he's guilty!

And furthermore,
he did not steal a radio.

MAN: Oh,
there's that bull again.
No, he is not guilty.

No, I still don't think
he's guilty.

I don't get it.

They put a woman on the jury
and right away
a thief goes free.

(STUTTERING)
I don't get it!

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hi, Taylor.
How are things in Mayberry?

Fine, fine, fine.
Good.

Uh, listen, do you recall
if a radio was stolen
from that store?

A radio.
Let me check the list here.

Radio? No, I don't think...
Wait a minute. Whoop, whoop.
There's one.

A-ha!
Was it mentioned in court?

No. We didn't mention
any of the smaller items.
Oh.

Uh,

does this, uh, this lighter
have anything to do
with the case?

That? Nah.

We thought so for a while.
We found it on the floor
of the store

but then we discovered
Jenkins doesn't smoke

so it was probably
dropped by some customer.
Oh.

Thank you very much.

Thank her?
You ought to pay her!

Mister, don't make me use
my bare hands on you.

ANDY(SIGHING): Well...

You ought to be proud
of that lady,
lettin' that thief go.

Yeah. She's quite a woman.
Yeah.

Oh, oh, that lighter
you said you lost...
Yeah! That's mine, uh...

Where'd you get it?
You dropped it at Brice's

the night you robbed the place.

You out of your head?
I don't think so.

I can get a search warrant
and check your room.

You can't check my room.
It's against the law, buddy.

Is that right?
Right.

Hold him for questioning.

What's going on?

Oh, nothing much.
They caught the real thief.

What? Right here
in the courtroom?
Yeah.

Well, what a coincidence.

Yes, it is,
and you know something else?

He doesn't look guilty,
but I suspect he is.

But the main thing is
you were right.

Jenkins is innocent.

Oh. I was sure of it.

You know, Aunt Bee,
I'd say something like,
"I told you so."

Oh, no. They were
very patient with me, Andy.

Uh, Miss Taylor,
I don't know what to say.

(CHUCKLING)

It's, uh, been a pleasure
servin' on the same jury
with you, ma'am.

Thank you. Mmm-hmm.
Shall we go?

Goodbye, all.

There you are.

Well, it looks like
that fellow Granger
was guilty, all right.

Oh?
Yeah, see.

They found the radio and
the other stolen merchandise
in his apartment.

Well, that goes to show
once again

crime does not pay.

You're right. Mmm-hmm

I got another letter
from that art school.
Yeah.

This time they're offering me
their newly developed
short course for $37.

Uh, let me see that.
Couple of weeks
you'll get another letter

with a shorter course
for $15. Hey, Aunt Bee.

Huh?
You got a letter from
the Honorable Judge Cranston.

Oh!

Was he the judge
at the trial?
Yeah.

Well, isn't that nice of him.

Why, Andy, I don't know
when I've been so honored.

About your service on the jury?

No, he wants my recipe
for brownies.
