Barney is upset that no one seems to take him seriously as Andy's deputy. The final straw is broken when a pair of tough truck farmers (Allan Melvin and Orville Sherman), pointedly ignore Barney's orders to stop illegally selling their produce. Andy tries to save Barney's dignity by concocting a tall tale about notorious lawman "Crazy Gun Fife", but when all is said and done it is Barney himself who must fight his own battles. Written by Aaron Ruben, "Lawman Barney" originally aired on November 12, 1962. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
