The Highway Patrol helicopter travels to a remote and mountainous area to airlift a critically injured kidnap victim and aid in the capture of the kidnappers.

Gomer makes a citizen's arrest of Barney for an illegal U-turn, the same violation Barney has ticketed him for, causing him to overreact and resign as deputy.

Barney adds a vintage motorcycle to the rolling stock of the Mayberry Sheriff's Department.

Barney becomes the toast of Mayberry when he helps capture an escaped convict. It goes to his head until the man escapes and returns to exact revenge on Barney.

Barney lets it slip that a top-secret shipment of gold will make its way through Mayberry on the way to Fort Knox. Everyone in town soon knows about the gold and welcomes it with a carnival-like reception.

Barney organises a rescue party when Andy and Helen become trapped in a cave after it collapses. Unbeknownst to Barney, the two have already escaped, but decide to go back into the cave to save him from becoming a laughingstock.
