- When a shoe salesman comes to town, riled Aunt Bee uses him to teach Andy a lesson in men being just as big a bunch of gossips as women.
- Aunt Bee is waiting in line at Walker's Drugstore, along with Emma Brand, Clara Lindsey, and Opie. Emma tells the other ladies that when Milly Parsons walks into Church with blonde streaks, that she nearly dropped her hymnal. Clara even thinks that she adds the blonde streaks to her hair, just to impress their new Mailman. When Barney accidentally cuts his finger while cleaning his gun, and to keep it from getting infected, Andy comes in to get some Sulfa Powder. Aunt Bee asks if everything is all right, and that is when he says that Barney has "got a little scratch." He walks out and Emma Brand isn't quite convinced that it's just a little scratch, and she claims that he came running all the way over to get it? Fred then tells her that the Courthouse is just across the street. Aunt Bee and Clara Lindsey get spread around town that he has shot and killed himself. Andy teases the ladies for believing such gossip. In response to the teasing, Aunt Bee decides to pull a prank on Andy to show that men gossip too. She spreads a rumor that a down-on-his-luck visiting shoe salesman is really a talent scout for the television show Manhattan Show Time. The men of Mayberry believe the rumor and visit the salesman with their bands and children hoping that one of them would be discovered. The salesman eventually leaves town after achieving record shoe sales—burvegas-1
