Plot
Beaver has his heart set on a bike in a store window. Eddie Haskell, Wally's best friend, tells him that if he flatters Ward by signing up for football, he will get it for his birthday. He joins the football team and endures the practices, despite his disadvantage of being smaller than his teammates. He even goes so far as to refuse to let Ward read him a bedtime story and kiss him goodnight. When he celebrates his birthday, he is presented with the new bike, as well as a computer from his great-aunt.
