Gotta love this stuff, written by series writer Joel Kane, who obviously worked overtime.
It's a case of the old switch-a-roo, Dobie style. Humble Herb has been officially named Grand Exalted Bull Bison of his lodge, BUT it's not set without the blessing of the Grand Exalted Ruler, McCluskey, played to the hilt by popular character actor Dick Wessel.
Everything should work out fine and dandy once McCluskey pays a visit to the Gillis' home -- until he has a slight run-in with Dobie. This complicates everything, especially since Herb told McCluskey what a great son he has. Comes an idea! Since McCluskey doesn't know the kid he ran into is REALLY Dobie, why not make a switch and have Maynard prentend to be Herb's son?
Unbelievably funny, and you have to admit, Dobie makes a cool beatnik with long hair and a beard, while Maynard looks business casual with a jacket and tie? See to believe stuff. Dick Wessel is funny in this role, known for numerous character parts, both as good and bad guys. One of his breakthrough roles was as the villainous Cueball in DICK TRACY MEETS CUEBALL.
10 Stars for one great episode. SEASON 2 EPISODE 4. Remastered dvd box set. 5 dvds. Released 2020. Super green cover with Dobie and Maynard.
