EXT. SAME - 20 MINUTES LATER

               The alleyway has been cordoned off, and DEPUTY BARNEY FIFE
               is attempting to disperse a crowd of curious onlookers.

                                      BARNEY
                          All right, get back, get back!  What's
                          the matter, you never seen a crime
                          scene before?  Go on, scoot!  You heard
                          me!  Show's over!

               Barney tries to shoo them away, but to no avail.  Finally,
               ANDY TAYLOR arrives on the scene, the crowd parts to let
               him through.

                                      ANDY
                          What's going on, Barn?

                                      BARNEY
                          We've got a real situation on our
                          hands, Andy.  A genuine code 187.  Full
                          blown.

                                      ANDY
                          Code 187?

                                      BARNEY
                          That's a homicide.  A real live
                          homicide.  Right here in Mayberry.

                                      ANDY
                          Well, what happened?

               Barney fumbles for his note pad.

                                      BARNEY
                                (reading)
                          "0900 hours: Received a call at the
                          courthouse about a disturbance
                          involving two ladies screaming in an
                          alley.  0905: Retrieved gun from filing
                          cabinet, retrieved bullet from the hole
                          in the back of the filing cabinet" --we
                          gotta get that fixed, Andy-- "Loaded
                          bullet into gun, and proceeded to the
                          scene of the alleged disturbance..."

               While Barney continues flipping through his notes, Andy
               looks down and recognizes the dead body.

                                      ANDY
                          Is that Otis Campbell?!

                                      BARNEY
                          Not until 0915.

               Andy rolls the body over.

                                      ANDY
                          What on Earth...?

                                      BARNEY
                          Judging by the broken glass and the
                          smell of sour mash, we might be looking
                          at a moonshine-related incident.

                                      ANDY
                          I'll say.  Looks like somebody bashed
                          him upside the head with a mason jar.

               Barney looks down at the body.  He looks at his notes.  He
               scribbles out what he had written.

                                      ANDY
                          Why?  What did you think happened?

                                      BARNEY
                                (embarrassed)
                          I don't like to comment on a police
                          investigation in progress.

               Andy checks for a pulse.  There is none.

                                      ANDY
                          We always said hard liquor'd be the
                          death of him.  Just never thought it'd
                          be premeditated.

                                                         FADE OUT
