LEAVE IT TO BEAVER: EDDIE SPENDS THE NIGHT (TV)

Summary

One in this comedy series about the Cleaver family -- Ward and June and their two sons, Wally and Theodore, known as "the Beaver." In this episode, Beaver is confused about how anyone can behave as badly as his brother's friend Eddie Haskell, but learns that even Eddie has a more human side that many people may not see. When Eddie's parents go out of town, Eddie spends the night at Wally's, despite Mr. and Mrs. Cleavers' reluctance to have him over. When Eddie and Wally fight over a game of chess, Wally makes him go home, and the Cleavers must make the responsible choice between asking him back or letting him stay alone at his house. Includes commercials.

Cataloging of this program was made possible by Brian Levant.
