Goaded by his friends, Beaver (Jerry Mathers) tries out a swing with one of his dad's precious golf clubs. In an instant, the club falls apart, and Beaver is convinced that he is responsible. What he doesn't know is that Ward (Hugh Beaumont) previously broke the club on the links, and that he had intended to throw it out anyway. Even with this in mind, Beaver did disobey his dad by messing around with the clubs -- but will he be punished for "intent" rather than "result"? (My, these fifth-season Leave It to Beaver episodes are certainly more complicated than the earlier shows!)
