- Daunted by the length of "The Three Musketeers" that he chose to read for a school book report, Beaver writes his report from a film version of the story (The Three Musketeers (1939)) instead, not realizing until too late that the film that he watched was a musical farce.
- Beaver has had the book "The Three Musketeers" from the library for two weeks, it now being overdue. He hasn't really even started reading it yet, and he has a report on it due in two days. As such, Ward and June make Beaver start reading the book at the exclusion of all else. Beaver still finds it difficult as for whatever reason, he is having a hard time getting into the story. Gilbert believes Beaver has a way out of his predicament when he sees that a movie version of the book is airing on television on Sunday night, the night before the report is due. Beaver doesn't want to give in to Gilbert's idea, and still tries to read the book. When Sunday night rolls around, Beaver is still nowhere close to being finished reading the book, and Gilbert once again encourages Beaver to at least watch the movie, which the two do together without Ward, June or Wally knowing that they are doing so. But the version of the movie airing, The Three Musketeers (1939), is nowhere close to the book, about which Beaver has no idea, since he hasn't read the book. He ends up writing his report based on the movie he just saw. The question becomes what wrath he will have to face from Mrs. Rayburn and his parents when they inevitably find out what he did.—Huggo
