Beaver is the only boy invited to Linda Dennison's birthday party, and he really doesn't want to go. His parents make him go because they don't know that he is the only boy. After they drop him off and realize this, they feel bad and are afraid Beaver will hate them.

Ward gets himself in trouble with the boys when he promises Wally that he will go on a fishing trip with him, but also promises Beaver that he will go to the father-son school picnic which takes place on the same day.

Beaver's friends make fun of him when they spot him climbing a tree with Linda Dennison, a girl in one of his classes.

Beaver finds a little Chihuahua and brings it home to his family. The Cleavers decide to keep the dog if nobody claims it. However, Mr. Bennett claims the dog and Beaver has to learn to let go of something he truly loves.

Everyone at school has to report what pet they will be bringing to the school pet fair. Beaver is depressed that he is the only kid who doesn't bring in a pet that day, so he tells everyone he is going to bring in his parrot. The problem is that when he goes to the pet store to buy the parrot, he realizes that it costs $200!

There is a contest and a prize for the person who draws the best poster of the colonial period. Beaver begs his father to help him, but Ward refuses saying that this is Beaver's project. Although Beaver thinks it turns out pretty badly, he winds up winning the prize for originality.
