Nabbed by Andy for an outstanding traffic citation, powerful newspaper mogul J. Howard Jackson (Roy Roberts) vows to get even by having Andy removed from office. Barney unwittingly helps Jackson by providing "evidence" against Andy to girl reporter Jean Boswell (Ruta Lee). When Andy's case is brought to court, it is the shamefaced Barney who saves the day. Written by Jack Elinson and Charles Stewart, "Andy on Trial" originally aired on April 23, 1962.
