Let's face it, we all (probably) would have done the same thing Wally did back in the day. The problem, though, is Murphy's Law.
Show creaters and writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher said many times they wrote stories that came from real incidents, you can bet this one was at the top of the list. It's all short and sweet. It's a cold day and Wally happens to notice a very popular girl, named Frances, who may need something extra... He volunteers his prize sweater --makes an instant friend --but did he just lose the sweater in the process?
That's the problem, and the subsequent questions from Ward and June, let alone input from Beave...
What a dilemma.
Ann Barnes, who plays Frances, appeared in two episodes of the series and was quite famous, having co-starred as daughter Cookie Bumstead in the BLONDIE tv show. Every so often that show turns up in reruns, and its funny.
As usual, some classic lines. Beave says to Wally the sweater smells kinda' girly. To which Wally responds, "I'll just hang it in my gym locker. That oughta' kill it!"
Give this one a watch for old times sake. SEASON 3 EPISODE 23 remastered Universal dvd box set.
