Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Deputy Barney's incessant complaints that nothing exciting ever happens in Mayberry are temporarily put to rest when celebrated criminal Gentleman Dan Caldwell (Dan Tobin) is escorted into the town jail. Everyone in Mayberry is charmed and thrilled by Gentleman Dan-none more so than Barney, who unfortunately allows his guard to slip, whereupon Dan gets the drop on the deputy. The script, by Ben Gershamn and Leo Solomon, is predicated upon treasured bit of Andy Griffith Show folklore: The lone bullet in Barney Fife's pocket. "Andy and the Gentleman Crook" was originally telecast on February 27, 1961.
