This classic episode is the one all of us kids back in the day feared. Someone stealing your new bike. Yikes! It's a horrible fate. Of course, Beave does have a chance here, but he's also accompanied by Larry.
I agree with the last reviewer, Larry is definitely not "helpful." Beave's bike is sharp and he wants to show it off, riding to school with his buds, that is until some new kid on the block would like to test drive it? Larry puts in his two cents --giving the kid a free pass -- and he simply rides away into the sunset. Ba Bye!
And you REALLY feel sorry for Beave. He got conned big time. Lessons learned which eventually leads to a solid talk with Ward.
Well directed by Hugh Beaumont, who probably gave the writers a few ideas from his own son's experiences. We only hope it wasn't this bad!
Do not miss the kitchen scene; Wally presents his new invention to June... a baloney sandwich with the baloney on the outside? Actually, it has been done(!), and this episode may have inspired it. Listen to the hilarious dialogue. Priceless.
