Burke on Mayberry #39 = Mayberry Goes Bankrupt
Running time: 12:19
Originally airing on October 30, 1961, in this TAGS episode Andy is forced to evict Frank Myers from his home. Later it is discovered that Frank holds a century-old bond believed to be worth $349,119.27. Since the Mayberry treasury holds just over $10,000, the mayor and town council scramble to keep Frank happy by renovating his run-down home. Later, the bond is discovered to be worthless because it was paid for with Confederate currency. Once again the town turns on Mr. Myers, but Andy is able to convince everyone they have done a good deed and should leave it at that.

In a scene toward the end the town is fixing up Franks house. The scene opens with Andy walking Frank through the front gate. In the 50 odd times I’ve watched this episode, today I noticed a mountain above Franks roof in the background.
