Beaver's Short Pants is the 11th episode in the series.

Plot synopsis[]

While June is away with a relative who's about to have a baby, Beaver's Aunt Martha comes to stay with the Cleavers. She buys Beaver an outdated new suit consisting of an Eton jacket, short pants, knee-length socks and a cap. She expects him to wear his new suit to school, but Beaver know the kids will tease him.

Sure enough, despite his efforts to hide, Beaver is subject to riducule for his outfit, and ends up getting into a fight over it. Wally informs Ward about what happened, and Ward starts to talk to Aunt Martha about the matter. However, remembering that June asked the family to be nice to Aunt Martha and not hurt her feelings, he can't bring himself to do it.

The next morning, Beaver starts to leave for school, wearing the outfit. However, Ward ambushes him in the garage, and sneaks him into some more normal clothing, so Beaver won't be teased, promising to do the same thing for the remainder of Aunt Martha's visit.

Beaver still wears the suit for Aunt Martha's departure, wanting to please her.
