Plot
Beaver (
Cameron Finley) gets his heart set on a bike in the store window. He doesen't know how to get his parents to buy it for him. However, Eddie Haskell (
Adam Zolotin) tells Beaver that if he sucks up to his father (
Christopher McDonald), by signing up for football, he will be sure to get his bike on his upcoming birthday. Beaver signs up for football despite his small size, and he is tackled and thrown to the ground many times during practices. On the first day of school five days later, Ward and June (
Janine Turner) tell Wally to drop Beaver off and pick him up at school for a few days because Beaver has never ridden his bike to school before. At school Beaver sits behind a very pretty girl named Susan Acustis (
Brenda Song) and has a very kind teacher named Miss Landers (
Grace Phillips). After school Eddie asks Wally to come in the soda shop to see him flirt with Karen. Eddie does not want Beaver to follow them, so Wally leaves Beaver alone with the bikes telling him he will be back in a second.
