William Lanteau, best known as one of the odd fellows on "Newhart" (not the Larry, darryl and Darryl trio, but the two older fellows who came in bickering and arguing. Lanteau was the one with glasses) appears here, albeit very young, as a stranger who comes to town and knows everything about everybody, because he subscribed to the Mayberry newspaper and loved what he read.
A bit of a loner, he adopted Mayberry as his hometown in his own mind.
Unfortunately, he failed to share this knowledge with the citizens of Mayberry and they took offense to his knowledge and they knew nothing about him.
He pursues Lucy Matthews. She takes offense, and so does her brother.
In the end, Andy tells them why this fellow came to town, because he fell for the town without having ever seen it.
Lucy then tells him, ever so quietly, that he may feel free to call on her when he likes.
Marlene Willis, who played Lucy, is a stunningly beautiful woman and it is a shame that she didn't do much after this appearance that would showcase her more prominently.
I would have loved it had she told me I could call on her.
Wow!
