While fishing at Miller's Pond with Wally (Tony Dow), Beaver (Jerry Mathers) swims a very short distance through the shallow water to retrieve an empty canoe. After the canoe's grateful owner makes a big fuss over Beaver, the story of his "rescue" improves with each telling. By the time Beaver's act of courtesy has reached his classmates, our "hero" is credited with saving a girl who was trapped in a runaway speedboat! This episode was directed by former child actor and future M*A*S*H producer, Gene Reynolds.
