Don Knotts created Deputy Barney Fife as a hyper-kinetic but comically inept counterpart to Mayberry's practical and composed Sheriff Andy Taylor. Sometimes considered a blowhard with delusions of grandeur, Barney fancies himself an expert on firearms, women, singing and just about any other topic of conversation brought up while he is around. Conversely, Andy knows that Barney's false bravado is a smokescreen for his insecurities, and low self-confidence. Barney is often overly analytical and alarmist about benign situations.
Aunt Bee must leave Mayberry to care for a sick cousin, but not before scolding Andy and Opie for their messy housekeeping habits. The two are determined to clean house before she returns - a project that suddenly accelerates when she phones to say she'll be coming home earlier then expected. After Aunt Bee finishes scolding Andy and Opie for being slobs, she has to go out of town for a few days, leaving her boys to take care of themselves.
Andy Taylor, now a US Postal Inspector, returns to his hometown of Mayberry, North Carolina with wife Helen Crump- whom he had married in 1968, on the sequel series Mayberry R.F.D.) but without his second-born son Andy, Jr. (christened on R.F.D.). Andy returns to Mayberry to see son Opie (Ron Howard) into fatherhood, and learns the office of sheriff is open. Andy puts aside any thoughts of running when he learns that his old deputy and cousin, Barney Fife, left Raleigh, and was appointed acting sheriff. Barney intends to win the elected position outright.
