Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Deputy Barney tickets the Governor's car for illegal parking-then thinks he's in for it when the governor himself prepares to visit Mayberry. Actually, the state's top executive is coming to congratulate Barney for doing his duty without showing any sort of favoritism. Alas, the nervous Barney is unaware of this impending honor, and while bemoaning his fate to town drunk Otis Campbell, the deputy inadvertently gets thoroughly "gassed" himself. First broadcast on January 7, 1963, "Barney and the Governor" was written by Bill Freedman and Henry Sharp.
