Millie is taking a secretarial course at Bradbury Business College to get a better job. She feels she flunked her exam but is ecstatic to receive a letter in the mail that she passed. Millie goes through Ajax Employment Agency in Siler City to find interviews cut short without her having experience. The employment agency phones her with a job not requiring experience and she goes to Magazine Inc. Unknown to her, it is a newly set up front for two bookies on the run from police. Millie is tasked with beginning a list from the phone book of every citizen in Siler City. She obverses how poor magazine businessmen they are how subscriptions are bad and decides to help them out by signing up subscribers. Things can only go downhill.
In my opinion, this is an episode that builds up more suspense than it delivers. As noted in the trivia section, the two men on the wrong side of the law also played convicts in season one's comedic "Help on the Farm". The story is similar to "The Andy Griffith Show" season six episode "Aunt Bee Takes a Job". An additional connection is that the police head was played by Richard X. Slattery who also played the police head in Raleigh in "A Visit to Barney Fife".
