With Barney away, Andy has to find someone to answer the phone for the day and a bit he will be away a the State Sheriff's convention. He has several possible helpers but Goober presses him to do the job. Despite promises to be there bright and early the first morning, Goober is committed to fixing Gilly Walker's carburetor which is taking considerably longer than expected. With the job finally done and Andy is on his way, Goober sets himself up at the courthouse but Gilly is soon back complaining that the car isn't running right. Not wanting to abandon his post, Goober starts to dismantle the car and take the parts into the courthouse to repair it. Eventually, he has taken it completely apart and re-assembled it inside - but doesn't know how he will get it out. It all becomes more urgent when Andy learns that the head of the Sheriff's association is about to stop in for a visit.
