Wally is put upon by a predatory female
11 May 2024
Wally comes home from his basketball game without his sweater. The next day his parents notice its absence and demand he bring it back home with him that afternoon. The problem is that a girl, Frances, asked Wally for it saying she was cold, and now she's stalling giving it back. What Wally doesn't know is that she is using that sweater as proof to her friends that Wally is crazy about her when, in fact, he hardly knows her.

That night Ward and June are out shopping and stop in for a soda. At the counter, there is Frances, wearing Wally's jacket and telling her friends about Wally's amorous advances. Ward, and especially June, are horrified, thinking that Wally is lying about his jacket because what the girl is saying is true. When Wally is confronted with the truth of the situation he charges out of the house to go to Frances' house and retrieve his jacket. In a scene reminiscent of The Quiet Man, Eddie and Beaver run out after him, anxious to witness the dust up. How will this work out? Watch and find out.

It's not that Frances isn't pretty, it's just that she's using deception to take advantage that gets to Wally. Over the years, Wally seems a bit naive and passive when it comes to girls, and he can afford to be because he is quite the chick magnet.
