Where have we seen this before? Beaver is supposed to do something, "Larry Mondello" (usty Stevens) comes around and gets him to do the opposite of what's right, Beaver gets in a jam because of it and then lies to his parents and then is caught.
Yup, this is not an unusual story on Leave It To Beaver....but it always ends on a feel-good note.
Along the way, Beaver - who wins a bicycle he really doesn't even want to win - has to figure out what to do in this weird situation.....all because he listened to Larry and left the house to the go to the movies when he was grounded. Oh, well, at least Larry gets it, too, from his folks. I can't recall ever seeing Mr. Mondello but we always see Madge Blake playing Larry's mom, and she's perfect for the role.
