Wally falls for the girl who works in the theater’s box office. Wally: Tony Dow. Marlene: Diane Sayer. Beaver: Jerry Mathers. June: Barbara Billingsley., Wally (Tony Dow) is smitten by gorgeous Marlene Holmes (Diane Sayer), who works in the box-office booth at the local movie house. Timid Wally allows suave Eddie (Ken Osmond) to give him pointers about impressing Marlene. Finally mustering up the courage to talk to the girl, Wally quickly learns that Marlene may be just a tad too “worldly” for him. (Incidentally, how many contemporary reviews will appreciate Eddie’s reference to the shy Wally as “Mr. Peepers”?)
