Someone in Beaver's neighborhood is selling a burro for $30. Beaver, Gilbert, and Richard consider buying the burrow with each buying a share for $10, then they will make the money back by selling burro rides. Beaver figures he can use the money his Uncle Billy sent him; but Ward objects, where would they keep a burro. Richard and Gilbert claim they will keep the burro in their yards, and as long as the Cleavers don't have to store the burro then fine.
But Pepe eats all of the flowers at Richard's and bye burro. Gilbert's parents bail after Pepe ruins the wash being hung out to dry. The Cleavers are out at dinner and a movie, so surprise, a burro. A real surprise when Beaver wakes Wally to see what's out in the yard, and there is Pepe. Wally figures Gilbert and Richard ditched the burro. Beaver ties the burro to a tree, Ward will be told in the morning. But Ward and June have heard a noise too. Hello Pepe. But Pepe has to go, but where? When Pepe destroys a trellis in the Cleaver backyard, he has to go back to the original owner. But they managed to sell the house and move in a night. Beaver looks at his friends and says what are we going to do? We? Not our problem. You're always saying what a great dad you have. Bye. As always, Beaver's friends leave him holding the burro.
Ward calls the Bemis Children's Circus hoping they might take the burro, but they don't use burros. The county pound? They euthanize animals. Wally and Beaver try everyone without luck. Ward comes through. One of his co-workers has a brother who has a farm. He even paid $20 for the burro. What will Beaver do with the twenty? Beaver says he will split it three ways. I figure Beaver should keep it all. If he was forced to share, then he gets ten with the other two escape artists getting five. Beaver decides each will get eight dollars. With the two dollars left over they will buy a community baseball bat. How does that work? I'm sure you can figure it out.
A fun episode, but how could anyone in that community own a burro? There had to be codes. Certainly, you could not legally sell a burro to three sixth graders. And like Wally, I don't see Ward going for this at any level. I know, writers have poetic license, but sometimes it's a real reach.
