During a boy-girl raffle at a school picnic, Wally (Tony Dow) draws the name of his classmate Alma Hanson (Carol Sydes). Sizing up Wally as a "good catch," Alma's mother (played by Jean Vander Pyl, best known to cartoon fans as the voice of Wilma Flintstone) does everything in her power to keep Wally and Alma together. After a while, Wally begins to feel trapped, whereupon his dad, Ward (Hugh Beaumont), comes up with a plan to rescue his son from Mrs. Hanson's clutches -- with ironic results. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While Wally (Tony Dow) studies all weekend for a difficult history test, Eddie (Ken Osmond) and Lumpy (Frank Bank) scheme to use an easier (and less scrupulous) method, writing up crib sheets on the school's bathroom towel dispenser. Come the day of the test, and the "cheat sheets" are confiscated by the teacher. Hoping to avoid the consequences, Eddie and Lumpy point to Wally's high score and insist that he was responsible for writing up the crib notes! Carol Sydes (aka Cindy Carol) makes her first appearance in the recurring role of Alma Hanson. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Eddie (Ken Osmond) is on cloud nine when gorgeous Caroline Schuster (Reba Waters) agrees to go steady with him. What Eddie doesn't know -- but Wally (Tony Dow) does know -- is that Caroline is merely using Eddie -- her real boyfriend has been grounded. Finally Wally informs Eddie, who refuses to believe that he's been a dupe and loudly accuses Wally of being jealous. Somewhat surprisingly, it is up to Beaver (Jerry Mathers) to straighten out this situation! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Eddie (Ken Osmond) nominates Wally (Tony Dow) for the office of sophomore class president. Wally's opponent is Lumpy Rutherford (Frank Bank), whose dad, Fred (Richard Deacon), will be even more insufferable than ever if Lumpy wins. To avoid this, Wally's dad, Ward (Hugh Beaumont), fills his son with all sorts of sage advice about waging an effective campaign. The result -- Wally, who up until now had treated the whole election as a lark, is now so doggedly serious in his efforts to win that his friends -- including Eddie! -- end up dropping their support. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Beaver (Jerry Mathers) thinks it's real "creepy" that his brother Wally (Tony Dow) is spending less time with him and more time with his girlfriend Penny Jamison. But this state of affairs ends abruptly when Wally and Penny quarrel and break up. Now concerned only with his brother's best interests, Beav tries to patch the romance back together -- with the unexpected assistance of his pet toad, Herbie. Penny Jamison is played by Carol Sydes, who later changed her name to Cindy Carol and essayed the leading role in the 1963 theatrical feature Gidget Goes to Rome. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
