Plot Summary

When he gets a job offer that would take him away to South America, Andy convinces Barney to run for sheriff. The offer falls through, but the election goes on. Turning ugly, Barney challenges Andy to a debate and accuses him of malfeasance. The examples he cites are typical Taylor oversights, such as allowing jaywalking, failing to have emergency equipment such as tear gas and submachine guns, and refusing to carry a sidearm. Andy readily admits he is guilty, but Barney backs off, endorsing Andy as the man for the job.
