One of those episodes, yes, that even adults could relate to. Sooo true, how people change, even co-workers, let alone classmates, when they are put in charge!
Lucky Beave is officially elected Junior Fire Chief. The funny thing about stories like this; everything so perfectly falls on Beaver. The difference here is it all goes to his head, about enforcing fire codes and handing out tickets --LOTS of tickets to his pals. This was also a full cast episode, with Gilbert, Richard, Penny and lovable Whitey. Whitey was always Beave's last resort friend, though everyone is starting to call him a rat!
Burt Mustin naturally makes an appearance as wise, old Gus, the fireman, always willing to give Beaver some advice. Mustin began his long career in the 50s, and made 14 appearances on the show, also several appearances at the time on Betty White's early tv show, DATE WITH THE ANGELS.
Another Dick Conway original, replete with some very funny lines. Conway was the best writer for this series, almost a prophet as to the types of awkward situations kids got themselves into, and realistically.
To note, very similar to an episode (about 10 years later) on the BRADY BUNCH, where Bobby is elected school hall monitor and starts handing out tickets to everyone, and soon not too popular.
From SEASON 4 EPISODE 34 remastered.
