Once again, Beaver (Jerry Mathers) is consumed with jealousy over his big brother Wally (Tony Dow). This time, it is because Wally is suffering from a sore throat, thus commanding all the attentions of Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June (Barbara Billingsley), to say nothing of Dr. Bradley (Stuart Wade). Thus, it is only logical that Beaver would try to shed the spotlight on himself by feigning the same illness that is afflicting Wally -- a scheme that backfires big time!
