- When Ward's flamboyant Uncle Billy comes for a visit, June worries that his eccentric behavior and tall tales may have a bad influence on Wally and the Beaver.
- Ward's paternal Uncle Billy is in town for a visit. June is worried that Uncle Billy's fanciful tales, which make him seem irresponsible to an adult, will leave a lasting impression on the boys, yet both Ward and June don't want the boys to disrespect an elder, especially one within their family. After telling his wild tales to the boys, Uncle Billy promises Wally a rifle he used to kill grizzly bears in Alaska with, and he promises Beaver a new fishing rod and reel so that they can go fishing much like he says he used to take Ward sailfish fishing in Mexico. When Wally learns that Uncle Billy's stories are exaggerations and that Uncle Billy probably will not come through with the gifts, Wally isn't surprised or upset. Beaver, on the other hand, doesn't want to believe that Uncle Billy is anything but a great guy. But Beaver ultimately sees Uncle Billy for who he really is. Ward plans on having a stern talk with Uncle Billy about leading Beaver on, until Beaver provides Ward with a clearer understanding of Uncle Billy that Ward had never even considered.—Huggo
