Once again, Wally shows what a darn good brother he is by helping Beave (temporarily, that is) get out of another awkward mess.
Beaver loses his haircut money... and what to do?
The barber wants to be paid, so Wally kind of, sort of lends a hand (for free!) and nearly scalps Beave!
You have to admit, it's a gawd awful haircut, and Wally must have been blind to do it in the first place! The guys next wear hoodies (they now belong to a new club?), obviously to hide the big mistake... until June and Ward figure something is up.
Lessons learned. Fess up, tell the truth, and never let Wally cut anybody's hair!
Comedy master Bill Manhoff wrote this episode, who worked on two top shows at the time, the REAL MCCOYS and DANNY THOMAS. He later switched to writing for films. Look for popular character actor Gil Frye as Mr. Tyne. Frye appeared on many tv shows, foremost PERRY MASON, and also in some classic movies.
Perhaps one of the most campy early episodes, and don't try this at home. Watch Jerry Mathers' expressions as they are priceless.
