Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher obviously re-worked this story from a few episodes back.... where Beave and Larry skip school and get caught on tv.
In this case, Beave is supposed to be home (being punished for doing all the wrong things!), he skips out with Larry (of course) goes to the movies --and WINS A BIKE!
Murphy's Law re-visited. Again, I have to say it. If Beave was not being disciplined, and went to the movies that same day --he would have won NOTHING! Life is cruel.
Then again, you have to stick to the rules and tell the truth. All that said and done, Beave is priceless and doing what all of us kids would have probably done anyway, except we wouldn't have won a gosh darn thing.
Look for popular character actor Peter Leeds as the theater manager, everywhere on tv for decades.
And isn't there a later episode where Beave wins a sports car??? Stay tuned!
Best of SEASON 3 EPISODE 4.
