Opie has a crush on his teacher, who is also Andy's girlfriend.

After Opie is struck with puppy love, Barney tries to show him how to handle women.

Opie gets a part-time job in a grocery store but gives it up because another boy needs the job more.

Ernest T. Bass returns to Mayberry to get his diploma and falls in love with Helen, the town's elementary school teacher and Andy's girlfriend.

Barney sees Andy and Helen sneaking a kiss in the jewellery store and tells everyone they are engaged. Aunt Bee redecorates Andy's room to make it more appropriate for a bride and throws a surprise party for them.

Opie is reluctant to attend the school party after he learns that it is a dance.
