Andy is not very pleased with Opie when the boy comes home and tells him he crashed his bicycle into a tree wrecking the front wheel. Andy tells him he has a mind to make him pay for the repairs and Opie takes his comments to heart and starts looking for a part-time job. He's not having much luck but Aunt Bee steers him in the direction of the grocer who is advertising for a delivery boy. When Opie shows up at the store, there's another boy, Billy Crenshaw, who also wants it. They both get hired for a week and Opie is thrilled at the end of it when he gets the job permanently. When he hears why Billy wants the job however, he reconsiders.
