Lumpy Rutherford puts smoke bombs in Wally and Eddie's cars. It's embarrassing but causes no damage. But Eddie wants payback and comes up with a scheme that he thinks will adequately pay Lumpy back. He and Wally tie Lumpy's car to a tree, then Eddie calls Lumpy from a neighbor's house and imitates Julie Foster, saying that she needs help with her geometry homework and that only Lumpy can help. Lumpy charges out of the house, glad to have the admiration of a female, but the joke doesn't go as planned. They had hoped for the car just spinning its wheels, unable to accelerate. Instead, the bottom of Lumpy's car is ripped out when tree meets drive train.
Wally and Eddie run for it, but Wally turns out to not be a very adept prankster. The chain he used to tie car to tree has his dad's name on it as in "return to". How will this all work out? Watch and find out.
There were quite a few of these Eddie/Wally/Lumpy centric episodes in the last two seasons as actor Tony Dow turned into quite the teenage hunk and became very popular with girls. Once Jerry Mathers reached that awkward tween/teen state, he could no longer play the cute little kid like he could in the first few seasons. The exploits of Wally and his friends likely extended the life of the show by a couple of seasons.
