Plot Summary

Howard gets laryngitis right before the big Mount Pilot Sheriff's Annual Barbershop Quartet Sing-off. Desperate for a tenor, Andy discovers that Jeff Nelson, his current prisoner, may be the most gifted singer to come to Mayberry since Gomer left town. Andy decides to take a chance on his prisoner, who has a rabbit's urge to run. Andy regrets his decision when the prisoner escapes through the backstage bathroom window. He returns, however, after a hobo praises Sheriff Taylor, and Andy's quartet wins over rival Sheriff Wilson.
