A gopher has been eating the tops of June's flowers in the backyard so Ward and the boys set a trap. What is caught is not a gopher but a big, white rabbit, whom Beaver names "Henry." They make a cage for it and adopt it as a pet. "Henry," it seems is really "Henrietta" and within a day has six babies. Beaver discovers this first and thinks they are rats which got in the cage and are biting Henry. He's panicking, until told what the real story is.
That day, Ward warns Wally not to the touch any of the babies because the mother then would reject a baby that has human smell on it. Unfortunately, Beaver had just done that, as he and friend Larry Mondello notice one of the babies away from its mom. They pick it up and put it back with the other five. Wally then comes down and tells Beaver what their dad just told him.
Beaver, of course, doesn't tell Wally what he had just done. The Beav winds up going to the man who seems to everything: kindly old "Gus" at the fire department. Gus comes through, too, with a clever scheme to solve the problem.
