Going through a familiar rite of passage, teenager Wally (Tony Dow) purchases his first car -- a dilapidated old clunker which cost him all of twenty-five dollars. Well, it cannot be said that Wally hasn't gotten value for money -- the car's engine lasts just long enough to stall in the Cleavers' driveway. And as if this wasn't crisis enough, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) had been dead set against Wally buying a car -- and now the old heap is blocking Ward's own vehicle.
