*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sheriff Andy Taylor is the laid-back but efficient chief lawman of the tiny North Carolina town Mayberry, dispensing justice and delivering groceries often in the same afternoon.
Ellie Walker is a recent pharmaceutical graduate who moves to Mayberry to help her uncle run the drug store, and though she is well-versed in her duties, she finds that Mayberry is a different world from what she is used to.
Andy and Ellie are at odds from the moment they meet, clashing over daily practices and quick tempers. However, once they begin to work out their misunderstandings, the two find themselves in a romance that will have to survive all the comedic trials of small-town America in order to last. Andy and Ellie become embroiled in everything from matchmaking their friends and hosting a Christmas party for prisoners to staging fake robberies, but their fondness for one another keeps their shenanigans from ever flying too far off the handle.
