Plot Summary

The Mayberry Civic Improvement Committee entertains ideas on how to spend the $1,200 it has in its treasury. The members decide to erect a statue to the town's greatest benefactor, Seth Taylor, Andy's great-great-grandfather. After the monument is built, Andy learns that Seth was nothing more than a selfish swindler. There is a bright side, however: if it wasn't for Seth's profiteering, Mayberry might have become a busy, crime-ridden place like Mount Pilot.
