However, when he discovers who gave Beaver his black eye, he comes to regret giving Beaver the advice of confronting the guilty party.

When Beaver loses his lunch money more times that Ward cares to count, he lectures Beaver about the importance of responsible money management.

Tiring of Wally and the Beaver's constant arguing, June makes them sign a friendship pact and spend a lot more time together.

When his class discovers that he has a crush on Miss Canfield, Beaver is coerced into putting a snake in her desk in order to scare her. However, after putting the snake inside of Miss Canfield's desk, Beaver has an attack of conscience and goes out of his way to keep Miss Canfield from finding it.

Wally and Beaver want to win a fancy film projector. In order to get it they have to sell 24 bottles of perfume. However, the appalling aroma of the perfume quickly leads to zero sales and has Ward trying to think up a sales gimmick.

June and Ward make Wally and Beaver promise that they won't go to the movies and see a scary movie.
