Mayberry R.F.D. S02E21 - The Sculptor

Millie receives a letter from Rex Alexander (Robert Sampson), a famous sculptor she met while modeling in New York. He's coming to visit Mayberry to take in some of its "rural tranquility". Rex would like Millie to find him a place to rent for a month. After Rex arrives, Millie throws a tea party to have some of the towns people meet him. Rex has been in town for a week and has grown quite fond of the place. He tells Sam and Millie he would like to create a sculpture for the town as a gift. Rex has been working in secrecy and the town is growing excited. It is the morning of the unveiling and Aunt Bee has a few words to say to the crowd. Millie removes the tarp to reveal a very large abstract sculpture. The piece is called "The Struggle" and the crowd looks at it in awkward silence. After the crowd disperses, Rex is worried the people don't like it. Sam and Millie try to reassure him that everyone loves it. It is decided that Howard would subtly try to find out from Rex what the piece represents. Rex says that it represents man against machine. As much as they try, the towns people just don't get it. Sam thinks he has a solution. Another ceremony is held by the sculpture. Aunt Bee introduces Anthony Harper (Howard Wendell), a curator from the Raleigh Art Museum. The plan is that the sculpture will be permanently loaned to the museum so that many more people will be able to enjoy it.
