Mayberry R.F.D. S01E05 - The Copy Machine

Mike has sent away for a lot of magazines and catalogues. Mike sees in one of the catalogs a silver vase that he would like to get for Aunt Bee's birthday. Mailman Mr. Felton drops off a package for Mike. It seems Mike accidentally ordered a copy machine from Amalgamated Copy Machine Co. There's a 10-day free home trial. Mike decides to go into business with his friend Harold and make copies for people in town. He hopes to make enough money to buy Aunt Bee's gift. Ernie Newhouser, from Amalgamated, shows up at Sam's house. Sam figures out that Mike must have sent for the machine. Sam manages to put off Ernie and then goes to talk to Mike. Sam makes Mike send the machine back. On the way to the post office, Harold tells Mike about a large order that would give him enough money for the gift. Mike figures he'll fill the order and then mail it back. But he trips over the cord and damages the machine, but it still works. Mike takes the machine to Emmett's, but he can't fix it. He then tries to get a bank loan from Cyrus Tankersley with no luck. Sam finds out about the machine and gets upset. Harold tells Sam that Mike used the machine again so he could buy Aunt Bee's gift. Understanding what Mike went through, Sam tells him he'll keep the machine.
