When Treasury agents tells Andy that a $7 million gold shipment will be passing through Mayberry the next day, he has no choice but to confide in Barney since he will have to help him with the security arrangements. He does warn him to keep his mouth shut about the whole situation but the blabbermouth soon spills the beans and the news is all over town in a flash. What was supposed to be a simple lunch and gas stop for the armored truck and its crew turns into a fiasco with Mayberry's citizens turning out in droves to welcome them. When Barney has to replace the guard inside the vehicle for his lunch break, he finds that the gold may have been stolen.
