Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Hoping to rid Mayberry of that old eyesore cannon in the town square, Sheriff Andy fabricates a tall tale about the cannon's "celebrated" history to a potential buyer. The scheme backfires when Andy's son Opie begins to imitate his father's propensity for stretching the truth. Casey Adams, later billed as Max Showalter, plays the out-of-town buyer. Written by Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart, "The Horse Trader" originally aired on January 9, 1961.
