(WHISTLING)

Well, you beat the egg whites
until they form stiff peaks.

Well, Clara,
it's kind of hard
to describe how stiff.

If they make peaks,
they're stiff.

Exactly, mm-hmm.
Then you put it
all over the top

and you put it in the oven
and you bake it about, uh,

oh, 20 minutes.

Mm-hmm.

Right. Thank you.
Goodbye.

(PHONE RINGING)

BEE'S VOICE:
Hello. Oh, hello Clara.

Of course
you can have the recipe.

They're called
chipped beef puffs.

What's happening?
Who's talking?

(LAUGHING)

Did we surprise you,
Aunt Bee?
What's that?

We took down
your conversation
on our new tape recorder.

See?
Oh, for heaven's sake.

We bugged you.
We were just
fooling around.

Tape recorder.

Come on, let's see.

(CHUCKLING) Oh.

Is there any more
of me on there?

Sure.

BEE ON RECORDER:
Have you got a pencil, Clara?

Well, you need four ounces
of dried beef,

coarsely torn,

one quarter of a cup
of margarine...

All right, I'll wait.

People have mentioned
I have a rather
melodious voice.

Yeah, you...
Three tablespoons
of all-purpose flour,

salt and pepper,
and just a smidgen
of olive oil.

Come on, Ope, let's go try it
on somebody else.
Okay.

Well, haven't you got
any more of me on there?

No, that's about all we got.

Oh, well, another time perhaps.

Sure.
Yeah.

Well, let's do something.

I've got to wait
for a phone call
from the state police.

Want to play some checkers?

Fine with me.

Okay, set 'em up.

ANDY'S VOICE:
I've got to wait for a phone
call from the state police.

Want to play some checkers?

Well, I said I did, didn't I?

GOOBER'S VOICE:
Fine with me.

What?

ANDY'S VOICE:
Okay, set 'em up.

Well, I am setting them up.

(BOYS LAUGHING)

Wait a minute.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

We bugged your office
when you were out
having coffee.

Oh, I see.

Well, I'll be doggoned.
I thought
I was hearing things.

Tape recorder.

Yeah. My father
gave it to me.

Boy, you can really have
a lot of fun with them.
Yeah.

Oh, sure you can.

If you don't misuse it.

We know how to use it.

No, no, that's... that's
not what I mean.

What I mean is you shouldn't
eavesdrop on people.

It's called invasion of privacy.

See, you might hear something
that you shouldn't hear
and embarrass somebody.

That's right.

Oh.

We didn't mean to do
anything like that.

Now, I know you didn't.

I wouldn't do it again, though.

Okay, Paw.

(PHONE RINGING)
Oh.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Taylor.

Oh.

Oh, that's what it's about.

Oh. Okay.

I'll be right there.
All right, bye.

That the state police
calling?
Yeah.

What's up?

Well, they've got a suspect
on that Raleigh bank robbery

and they want me to hold him
till the city detectives
can come down

and question him.

Hey, Andy, if you're going
to be tied up with
a bank robbery,

you're going to be
needing a deputy.
No, Goober, that's all right.

Well, at least somebody
to keep an eye on things
around town.

No, no, I'll handle it,
I'll handle it.
Please?

No, well, Goob...
Please?

Uh, well, all right,
you're a deputy.

Hey, thanks.

I'll be back in about an hour.

Hey, ain't you going
to swear me in
like you did last time

with that ceremony?

Well, it's still legal.

Well, can't I have a badge?

Oh, Goober...
Well, I can't be a deputy
without a badge.

All right, there's a badge.
It's bent.

It's the only one I've got.

Well, gee whiz.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You know, I'm in charge
of the town
till your paw gets back.

Good, Goob.

I think I'll go out and patrol.

Wow!
A bank robber!

It's all part
of my father's business.

What cell do you think
he'll put him in?

He usually uses that one.

Hey, why don't we bug it?

You heard what my
father said about
eavesdropping.

He meant with nice people.
This is a bank robber.

Maybe we could
even get some evidence
for your father.

Well, the prisoner's
not going to talk to himself.

When his lawyer comes
to see him.

How do you know he will?

Gee, Ope, don't you ever
go to the movies?

That's the first thing
that happens.

The lawyer comes
and sits in his cell

and tells the criminal
to trust him.

Well... Come on, Ope.

Okay. Maybe we can
help my Paw.

(LAUGHS)

(TIRES SCREECH)

MAN: This is a bum rap,
I'm telling you.

I'm telling you,
this is a bum rap.

Inside.

Okay.

I got a right
to make one phone call.
That's the law.

You seem to know it pretty well.

There you are.

Hello, operator?

Get me Myles Bentley,
in Jonesboro.

He's an attorney-at-law.

What?

She wants to talk to you.

Yes, Sarah?

He's a prisoner.

Not... not now, Sarah.
You can read about
it in the paper.

Get his party, will you?

Think you can handle it
from here, Taylor?
Oh, sure.

Raleigh boys'll get down here
as soon as they can,

probably late this afternoon.

That's fine.

I'll drop back
around lunchtime
and spell you.

Oh, great.
Thanks.

See you.
Right.

This is a fast shuffle
I'm getting here.

Here I am driving
along the country road

to grab myself
a hunk of nature...

Seeing the birds

and the flowers blooming
in all their colors.

And the cows and the trees.
I love that stuff.

All of a sudden, I run into
a roadblock and I got cops
crawling all over me.

What made you come all the way
down here to grab
that hunk of nature?

Well, I heard you had
some nice flowers here.

You know,
when you love that stuff

it don't make no difference
how far you go.

Myles? Eddie.

Look, they got me
in a tank down here
in someplace called, uh...

Mayberry.

Mayberry.

Wherever that is,
that's where I am.

What do you mean,
what do they got me on?

Nothing, as usual.

Now, you get down here
as fast as you can.

Right.
I'll be looking for you.

Okay.

This one right here.

Hey, Andy, I seen you
when you turned off
the main road.

We got him, huh?

Yeah, we got him.

Hey, ain't there
no hangers in here?
This is a $200 suit.

Let me tell you one thing,
mister. You're in
a maximum-security cell.

Boo!

You better stop that.

Goober, will you
get out of here?

Well, he's a mean one, Andy.

I need you to go somewhere
and patrol something.

Right, chief.

Hi, Eddie.

Hiya, Myles.

I'd like to talk to my client.

In private.

I'll be outside.
When you're finished,
give me a yell.

Well, aren't you
going to ask me
what I'm doing here?

Tell me if I'm wrong.

You were arrested.

Well, they're only
holding me for questioning.

For some reason,
they think I pulled
that Raleigh bank job.

Well, did you?
Did I what?

Did you pull
the Raleigh bank job?

Okay?
Yeah. We'll come
back later.

Right.

Eddie, stop stalling.

Did you rob the bank,
or didn't you?

That's for me to know
and them to find out.

All right, what's the story?

According to the news bulletin

the thief got away
with 25 grand!

(LAUGHING)

Okay.

We'll return the money
and you'll throw yourself
on the mercy of the court.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm not kidding.

I'm a reputable lawyer
and this is the only way
I'd handle the case.

EDDIE: Let me put it this way.
If I did happen
to be the thief,

I'd be happy to give my lawyer
30% of the 25 grand.

MYLES: Oh, Eddie,
why don't you stop?

EDDIE: All right, 50%.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie...

Oh, stop Eddie-ing me.

A smart lawyer
could pick up
his 12.5 right now

in a dry well
on a certain abandoned
farm on Orchard Road.

Ferguson's place.

MYLES: Sorry, Eddie.

You better get yourself
another lawyer.

MYLES: (CALLING)
Sheriff, we're through.

Prisoner's lunch ready,
Aunt Bee?

All finished and ready to go.

He's just being held
for questioning.

It's not his last meal on earth.

I know, but the poor man's
away from home

and a person's
first day in jail
is always very trying.

But a rose?

Well, I thought it
might cheer him up.

Paw, can I see you for a minute?

But only for a minute, now.

We don't want
Mr. Blake's lunch
to get cold.

Yeah.

Paw, guess what?
What?

We bugged Mr. Blake's cell
and we heard him
talking to his lawyer.

You see, we took the mike

(STAMMERING) Wait a minute.
and we hid it up
in the cell window.

What... what are you
talking about?

We bugged
Mr. Blake's cell.

You what?

We bugged the cell
with Arnold's tape recorder.
Just listen to this, Paw.

I-I can't
listen to that.
But, Paw...

Opie, I can't
listen to that.
I'm not permitted.

But, Paw, you don't understand.

Opie, I can't listen to this.

Now, I told you
about eavesdropping.

But, Paw, this is different.

Yes, it's worse.

You overheard a conversation
that was supposed
to be private.

Now, I can't be a party to that.

But, Paw, if you just
listen to this...

Opie, I can't listen.

Paw, you're erasing the tape!

That's what I mean to do.

You bugged a conversation
between a lawyer
and his client.

Now, that's violating
one of the most sacred
rights of privacy.

But, Paw...
No buts.

But if it helps the law...

Opie, the law can't use
this kind of help.

BEE: Andy,
the tray's getting cold.

Coming.

Now... Now, I erased that tape,

but I can't erase
what you and Arnold know.

So you just forget about it,
you understand?

Yes, Paw.

Hello, Sarah? May I have
Doc Bailey's house, please?

No, nobody's sick.

Hello? Mrs. Bailey?

May I please speak to Arnold?

Oh, he's not.

Well, do you know where he went?

ARNOLD: Hey, Ope.

Never mind, Mrs. Bailey.
He just got here.

Thanks. Bye.

What's that?
I went up to
Ferguson's farm.

Look!

Quick. Upstairs.
Come on, upstairs, upstairs.

Opie, everything all right?

Just fine, Paw.

18, 19, 20...
(EXASPERATED): Arnold.

I'm counting.
Now don't mix me up.

One, two, three...

You already counted it
three times.

It's all there.
$25,000.

Well, let's take it to your Paw.

Arnold, I keep telling you
we can't.

Why not?

Because we learned where it was

in an unethical way.

What does that mean?

Illegal.
Bugging is wrong.

Even with crooks?
According to Paw,
especially with crooks.

If you could have seen
how mad he was
for knowing what we know,

you can imagine
how bad he'd be
if he knew what we had.

Boy, are you in trouble.

Me?

You stole the crook's money.

Yeah, but you're an accessory.

No, I'm not.
You didn't tell me
you were going to steal it.

Well, I'm telling you now.

Now doesn't count.

Oh, you mean,
you're going to tell on me.

(SIGHING) No.

We're in this together.

(SIGHS)

You think your paw
will arrest us?

If he gets mad enough he might.

Yeah, but you're his son
and I'm your best friend.

That won't help.
He doesn't like
to show favoritism.

Oh.

Blake loved his lunch
and sends his compliments
to the chef.

Oh, well, wasn't that
sweet of him?

He must be a very nice man.

He's eaten every last bit of it.

He's wearing the rose.

(CHUCKLING) I'm racking
my brains trying to think

what to cook him for supper.

Chicken paprikash would be fine

but it should be served
piping hot.

By the time
it gets down to the cell...

Aunt Bee, Aunt Bee,
we're still
running a jail.

Nothing fancy.

Where's Opie?

He's upstairs
playing with Arnold.

You know, it seems to me, Andy,

they're acting very guilty
about something.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I guess I better go see
what they're up to.

Well, first, here, tell me
what I should cook
Mr. Blake for supper

if I can't have anything fancy.

What do you think
we ought to do?

Well, there's only
one thing we can do.

Put the money back in the well.

Yeah, we'd better.

Hey, wait a minute.

It's too dangerous to use this.

When I came through town,
everyone was staring at me.

How about if we put it
in a pillowcase?

They'll stare even more.

Hey, let's keep
the money in the case
and wrap it up.

Make it look like a present.

Yeah. That's
a great idea.

Let's use this piece.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

ANDY: Opie?

Yeah, Paw?

Can I come in?

Uh, what'd you say, Paw?

I said, can I come in?

Oh. Oh, you want
to come in, huh?

Uh, I didn't hear
what you said at first.

Opie?

Sure, come on in.

(PLAYING GUITAR)

I was just fooling
around with my guitar.

He's getting real good.

Oh, good, good, good.

Did you tell him, uh,
about the tape recorder?

Yeah.

What's that?

A present for the coach.

Yeah. It's
a birthday present

but Christmas paper
is all we had.

Oh.

An attache case, huh?

It doesn't look very new.

It's all we could afford.

We bought it secondhand.

Heavy.

Well, we put some rocks in it.

Sort of a... a joke

for when he opens
it up, huh, Arnold?

Yeah.

Oh, good.

Well, I just wanted to make sure

that you two
got it straight about
this tape recorder.

Y-Yeah, we understand perfectly.

Good.

Because whether a man
is guilty or innocent,

we have to find that out
by due process of law.

(DOOR CLOSES)

They sure do it the hard way,
don't they?

Andy.
Mmm?

We've been guardin' him.
Good.

You can go on,
if you want to.
I can handle it from here.

Okay. Say, I got
a call a while ago.
He raised bail.

Bondsman'll be
here in an hour or so
and spring him.

Oh.

See you.
Right. Thanks.

I don't know why
they're gonna
let him out on bail.

I know he's guilty.
I just know he is.

Goober,
everybody is innocent
till proved guilty.

Well, you can tell
he's guilty
just by looking at him.

He's a mean one.

Sheriff, will you
do something
about that guy?

He's hasn't stopped talking
for 45 minutes.

Every time I fall asleep,
he wakes me up.

I'll handle him.

Did you have pleasant dreams?

Yeah. I dreamt
I pushed you off a cliff.

See, Andy, he even dreams mean.

Goober.

It's okay, Andy
I ain't scared of him.

Sheriff, will you
get rid of this creep?
He bothers me.

It ain't me
that's botherin' you.

Your conscience
is bothering you.

Your conscience
is gnawing at you.

Besides, you're a creep, too!

I'll be outside
if you need
any more muscle.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

He doesn't always
express himself too well.

Well, what's he giving me
with that conscience stuff?

Who does he think
he's talkin' to?

I think what he was
trying to say

is that sometimes
a man's conscience

can give him a lot more pain
than the law.

Look, Sheriff,
you're a nice fellow.

You run a clean jail.

You serve tasty meals.

Don't spoil it all
with a lecture, huh?

I'm not lecturing.

It's just that
in my line of work

I run into a lot of fellows
that get in a lot of trouble.

And their biggest trouble

is not knowing
the simplest way
to get out of it.

If you're buckin'
for a confession,
you're up the wrong alley.

I'm just speaking generally.

Like, if the person
who did rob the bank
in Raleigh should confess,

I'm sure he'd get
a lighter sentence.

You know, Sheriff,

a little violin music
would have gone good
with that.

Hmm.

Hey, Goob, with all
the runnin' around,

I forgot to get any lunch.

Hang around, will you?
Okay, Andy.

I'll be right down
the street.
Mm-hmm.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

Hi, guys.

Hi, Paw.
Hi.

You look tired.
Where you been?

Well, we just took
a ride out
to deliver that present.

Oh.

Oh, Ope, do me a favor.

Go home and tell Aunt Bee
not to fix any supper
for the prisoner.

He won't be here.

They taking him back to Raleigh?

No. He's gettin'
out on bail.

You mean, he's gonna go free?

Till he comes to trial.

Sheriff Taylor,
can I speak to
your son in private?

Help yourself.

The minute the crook
gets out, he's going to
grab the money.

I know, but what can we do?

Paw won't listen to me.

Maybe he'll listen to me.

Sheriff Taylor.

Yeah?

Um, I understand
that your son Opie

is having a little trouble
telling you
certain information

he got from
a certain tape recorder
planted in a certain cell.

Correct, counselor.

And if he told you
what he knows,
he'd be in big trouble.

Right again.

But me, not being your son...

You'd be in big trouble, too.

Yes, sir.

(SIGHS)

Say, Goober.
Yeah?

We're kind of thirsty

and we were wondering
if we could go in
and get a drink of water.

Okay, but stay away
from the prisoner.

I'm not thirsty, Ope.

Shh. We got to
talk to him.

(SIGHS)

Hi.
Hi.

What are you kids doin' here?

I'm the Sheriff's
son and this
is my friend, Arnold.

So?

We're in a lot of trouble.

Look, kid, I got stories
that'll tear your heart out.

I know.
We know you stole the money
and where you hid it.

What are you kids doin',
playing cops and robbers
or somethin'?

No. We mean it.

The money's in
the dry well
at Ferguson's farm.

In a black case with red lining.

And we know you took it
'cause we heard you
admit it.

You heard me?

We bugged your cell
with Arnold's tape recorder.

That's illegal!
That's against the law!

Y-Yeah, we know.

That's why we're in
such terrible trouble.

You see, when you
go out here on bail,

we can't let you get the money.

So we're gonna have to
get it before you can.

And if we get it,
we're gonna have to
give it to his father.

And then we'll be
in an awful jam.

So, what we'd like you
to do is confess.

You'd really be helpin' us out.

Confess?

Everything is going great

and I gotta run into
the Rover Boys.

Look, kids,
beat it, will you?
Beat it.

I gotta do some thinkin'.

(DOOR CLOSING)

BLAKE: So, I've been doin'
a lot of thinkin', Sheriff.

A lot of thinkin'.
Huh?

I remember what you said
about, uh, conscience
botherin' you.

Yeah.

And I remember what you said

about a fellow
confessing somethin',

chances are, he'd get
a lighter sentence?

That's right.

Well, thinking about
all that good stuff
you told me,

I decided to confess
of my own free will.

No kiddin'?

Yeah. I pulled the job.

You'll find the money
stashed in the dry well
on Ferguson's farm.

Blake, you're doing
the smart thing.

I owe it all to you, Sheriff.

I'll get a stenographer
and take all this down.

My pleasure.

Goob, I'll be back
in a minute.
Okay.

Oh!

There's somethin'
you boys might
like to know.

Eddie Blake just confessed.

He did?
Boy, am I glad.

I hope you've learned
a lesson from this.

By letting the due process
of law proceed,

and plus a few remarks
I made about conscience,

the prisoner confessed
of his own free will.

So, you see, we don't need
hidden tape recorders

to bring criminals to justice.

It's just that simple.

So, he's off to Raleigh, hmm?

That's right,
confession and all.

Well, I hope
they serve them
some nice meals.

I think he's a man
who likes good food.

He'll survive.

You know, Opie,
you should be
very proud of your father,

the way he's handled
this whole matter.

Oh, I am.
I'm just doin' my job.

No, it was more than that.

You virtually convinced him
to confess.

And I know
that's gonna work
in his favor.

Mmm-hmm, I'm sure it will.

You found the money, didn't you?

Yes. And it was right
where he said it was,

on Ferguson's farm,
in a dry well,

and it was in
a black attache case about,

oh, about that long
and about that

wide.

I gotta go do my homework.
