DID YOU SLEEP WELL, ANDY?

OH, FINE, FINE.

THANK YOU.

PAW! AUNT BEE!

I GOT AN ANSWER!

OH.

LISTEN TO THIS.

"DEAR MR. TAYLOR:

"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?

MUNICIPAL COURT...

MT. PILOT...

JUDICIAL DISTRICT?

YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT IT?

WELL, THERE'S PROBABLY

A VERY LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

THERE'S...THERE'S NOTHING TO GET ALARMED ABOUT.

WOULD YOU OPEN THAT FOR ME, ANDY?

UH-HUH. 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.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THEY'LL TELL YOU.

WELL, MY GARDEN CLUB'S ON THURSDAY, YOU KNOW.

HMM...

THAT'S OKAY. THIS IS ON A MONDAY.

OH?

WHAT IF YOU SEND SOMEBODY TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR?

OPIE!

WELL, YOU NEVER KNOW, DO YOU, PAW?

OH, 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.

OPE, 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?

HI, 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.

THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

AND BY FRIDAY, I SHOULD BE HOME.

WE'LL BE DELIGHTED TO SEE YOU.

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.

Man: IS MISS TAYLOR HERE, PLEASE?

WE'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU, AUNT BEE.

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, SHE A CHARACTER, ISN'T SHE?

Gibson: I TAKE IT THEN, MISS TAYLOR, THAT YOU'RE A HOMEMAKER.

YES. MM-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.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS HAD THE FEELING I'D MAKE A GOOD LAWYER

IF I'D BEEN GIVEN THE 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.

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!

GEE...I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM, PAW.

WELL, OPE, YOU HAVE TO FEEL SORRY

FOR ANY MAN THAT GOES ASTRAY.

SOUNDS LIKE HE DID, TOO.

YEAH. YOU AIN'T KIDDING.

I CALL AS MY FIRST WITNESS, CHARLES KEYS.

HOW DO YOU SPELL "KEYS"?

HUH? I DON'T KNOW.

LIKE KEYS IN A LOCK, HMM?

Clerk: DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?

Keys: I DO.

PLEASE TAKE THE STAND.

DID YOU CATCH HIS FIRST NAME?

HUH? NO.

CHARLES.

NOW, MR. KEYS, 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.

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?

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. KEYS, 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

AND 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 WENT IN.

BUT THERE WASN'T NOBODY THERE.

Lawyer: GO ON.

Jenkins: I WAS COMING OUT OF THE PLACE

AND THAT'S WHEN CHARLES KEYS 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.

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? OOH-OOH!

MR. JENKINS.

YOU CALLED, MISS TAYLOR?

OH, I WANTED TO ASK MR. JENKINS A QUESTION.

OH, I SEE.

WELL, ORDINARILY, WE LET THE COUNSELORS ASK THE QUESTIONS.

OH.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTRUDE.

WELL, 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.

WELL...

HOW LONG DO YOU SUPPOSE IT'LL TAKE, PAW?

IT'S HARD TO TELL, OPE.

SOMETIMES IT GOES FAST, SOMETIMES HOURS, DAYS.

I GUARANTEE YOU THIS WILL BE A FAST ONE.

IT'S OPEN AND SHUT. GOT A MATCH.

NO, NO, NO.

HEY, MAYBE WE GOT TIME FOR A CUP OF COFFEE?

YEAH.

THIS IS 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...

I MOVE WE TAKE A VOTE.

YES.

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.

MAYBE THE JURY FOUND SOMETHING TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE CASE.

WELL, TO ME, IT WAS CUT AND DRY.

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.

WELL, I THINK I'LL GO ON BACK.

OKAY. KEEP US POSTED.

OKAY.

YOU WANT SOME PIE?

OKAY.

WHO'S BUYIN'?

ME.

APPLE?

MM-HMM.

ONE APPLE PIE AND A BANANA SPLIT.

"GUILTY."

"GUILTY."

"GUILTY."

"NOT GUILTY."

WELL, I JUST CAN'T HELP IT!

"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...

SWEET.

SWEET.

NO, IT'S NOT JUST THAT.

IT'S HIS WHOLE DEPORTMENT AND HIS APPEARANCE.

HAVE YOU MEN NOTICED HIS EYES?

PURE HAZEL.

WHAT DO HIS EYES HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

HE'S GOT WAVY HAIR, TOO, BUT SO DID DILLINGER.

I JUST DON'T FEEL HE'S GUILTY.

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: And so, members of the jury

the evidence proves incontrovertibly

that the accused, Jonathan Meddon

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?

WELL...WELL, BYE. BYE.

BYE, AUNT BEE.

WELL, WE MIGHT AS WELL START WITH THE COFFEE.

HI. THAT LADY YOU WERE TALKING TO--

DID SHE HAPPEN TO SAY WHAT WAS TAKING THAT JURY SO LONG?

NO, SHE DIDN'T.

GOT A MATCH?

NO.

NO.

GOT A MATCH?

HMM? 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 ALL 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 A 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 INTO JUDGE CRANSTON

WHILE HE'S WAITING.

MISS TAYLOR...

YES?

THE BROWNIES ARE VERY THOUGHTFUL

BUT 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."

"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.

HEY! I GOTTA CALL MY WIFE.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE HER TO THE DOCTOR.

TELL THE BAILIFF TO CALL HER.

HOW MUCH LONGER WE GONNA BE HERE?

TELL YOUR WIFE THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

THE JU GOT LIFE.

PAW! THE JURY'S BACK IN!

THEY SAY IT'S HUNG AND THEY SAY IT'S AUNT BEE'S FAULT!

C'MON, GOOBER.

HUNG?

HUNG? OPIE, THEY'VE HUNG THAT BOY!

THAT'S TERRIBLE.

HERE, HERE.

SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN.

EXCUSE ME, HAVE YOU SEEN MISS BEE TAYLOR?

FOR THE LAST TIME, I HOPE.

OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

AUNT BEE, AUNT BEE!

AUNT BEE! OVER HERE.

COME ON.

I'M AWFULLY SORRY ABOUT THIS

BUT I STILL THINK HE'S INNOCENT.

I DON'T GET IT. SPEAK TO HER.

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.

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.

I-I DON'T GET IT!

EXCUSE ME.

HI.

HI, TAYLOR. HOW ARE THINGS IN MAYBERRY?

FINE, FINE, FINE.

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, THERE'S ONE.

AHA! WAS IT MENTIONED IN COURT?

NO. WE DIDN'T MENTION ANY OF THE SMALLER ITEMS.

OH.

UH, DOES 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 PA HER!

MISTER, DON'T MAKE ME USE MY BARE HANDS ON YOU.

WELL...

YOU OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF THAT LADY

LETTIN' THAT THIEF GO.

YEAH. SHE'S QUITE A WOMAN.

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.

MISS TAYLOR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

OH...

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE SERVIN' ON THE SAME JURY WITH YA, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

SHALL WE GO?

MM-HMM.

GOODBYE, ALL.

THERE YOU ARE.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT FELLA GRANGER

IS GUILTY, ALL RIGHT.

SEE, THEY FOUND THE RADIO AND THE OTHER STOLEN MERCHANDISE

IN HIS APARTMENT.

THAT GOES TO SHOW ONCE AGAIN --

CRIME DOES NOT PAY.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I GOT ANOTHER LETTER FROM THAT ART SCHOOL.

THIS TIME THEY'RE OFFERING ME

THEIR NEWLY DEVELOPED SHORT COURSE FOR $37.

LET ME SEE THAT.

COUPLE WEEKS, YOU'LL GET ANOTHER LETTER

WITH A SHORTER COURSE FOR $15.

AUNT BEE? HMM?

GOT A LETTER FROM THE HONORABLE JUDGE CRANSTON.

OHH.

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.
