Warning: Spoilers
Mr. Wilson wants to do his magic act a lodge benefit, he also is looking for a celebrity to appear.

One of Season 2's funniest. Dennis is also having a birthday party and misunderstands that Mr, Wilson will do his magic act at his party. Dennis finds out actress Spring Byington is in town and the aunt of one of his friends. Byington was a veteran character actress and currently appearing in the TV sitcom December Bride. She agrees to go to Dennis's birthday party.

When Wilson hears she will be at the party he suddenly volunteers to come and do his magic. This leads to many funny scenes. Wilson gets stuck with Farmer In The Dell and ends up accidently the donkey in Pin The Tail On The Donkey. He also makes Miss Byington disappear.

Spring Makes The Perfect Guest

Dennis' birthday party is more appealing to Mr. Wilson if Spring Byington is there. Dennis needs magic at the party. It's magic one of the great actresses of all time is there. What was Byington's best movie? Angels In The Outfield? The first Andy Hardy film? Devil and Miss Jones?. It's fun to see Byington get her due. This isn't about cinema history. This is about a party. And it's amusing to see the adults join in the fun. It's amazing how many talents George has. Well, some skills are more effective than others. The disappearing cabinet predates an inferior Brady Bunch episode. Then again it's not about TV history either. It's about Mr. Wilson not messing up if he can manage avoiding fiascos. Mess cleanup is part of the fun.
