Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In this 32nd and final episode of Gidget, the titular heroine (Sally Field) does her best to console young Davey Seldon (Frankie Kabott), whose pet alligator has died. Thanks to local government bureaucracy, there is no place to "inter" the gator's body until the funeral, so Gidget generously deposits the corpse in her father's freezer. Confusion reigns supreme when, thanks to the machinations of the scriptwriter, the alligator vanishes!
