Beaver is always getting the worst in trades, and Ward lets him know it needs to stop. Especially since his latest trade got him a rat, which is definitely not on June's approved list.

The rat goes back and forth in various trades -- and eventually Fred Rutherford gets the rodent from Beaver, for fifty cents -- since his wife, who had charge of it when her daughter traded with Beaver, wants it! Ward is relieved this problem is finally solved.

A watchable episode, but not much more. Thoughts?

Rats are great.

I took my son's rat (ratty) to the grocery store. I called it Ratty's big adventure.

I could see why she liked him. What was the rat's name? Something gunner?

The rat was Peter Gunn.
