Parley Baer makes his first series appearance as Roy Stoner, the new mayor of Mayberry. A man who runs his administration strictly by the book, Stoner regards Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney as inept and inefficient-and this first impression would seem to be confirmed when the mayor finds a fish in Andy's desk drawer. Inevitably, however, Stoner comes to realize that, in their own laid-back way, Andy and Barney are both assets to the community. Written by Harvey Bullock, "Andy and the New Mayer" originally aired on October 15, 1962.
