Andy and Barney are walking through town when Mrs. Rodenbach is run down by a young boy riding a bicycle illegally on the sidewalk in front of the grocery. While tending to Mrs. Rodenbach, the boy rides by again, but Andy and Barney are unable to identify and detain him. The next day, Opie apologizes to his father and asks to do the chores again. Andy agrees and raises his son's allowance from 25 to 27 cents.
