One of those half comedy and lessons to be learned episodes, but not with the Beave. It's all dumped in Wally's lap. He has the good fortune of being tapped to join an elite high school club, called the Crusaders. It turns out the Crusaders also put on plays, and the latest production is a comedy-western.
Will Wally get to play the sheriff or bad guy? NO. He lands the part of a dance hall girl??? Well, they said it was a comedy, right? The costume box is delivered home, replete with a dress and matching shoes! As much as Wally wants to keep it all a BIG secret, Beave opens the box, a fight breaks out and everything is not too dandy.
Enter Eddie... who plays a role in this mess, but not quite what you'd think. The turn around here is rather clever, and, yes, I agree with the last reviewer, Wally gets a bad case of sour, sour grapes.
Pretty good writing on the part of George Tibbles, senior writer for MY THREE SONS. This episode has that feel. Also there's some fun dialogue for everybody, including Ward and June.
A gotsta' see, especially for all of us who got a "challenging" role in a school play, or something close to it.
SEASON 3 EPISODE 37 remastered dvd box set. 6 dvds. Released 2010. Check out the terrific color cover with Beave and Wally. A classic.
