June and Ward are concerned that Wally is going steady with a girl when they find the name and telephone number of Alma Hanson in his jacket pocket. They feel he is too young to go steady. Their concern turns to relief and joy when Wally explains that the boys had to draw names of girls to take to a school picnic, and Wally drew Alma's name, who he thinks is OK as a date for a school picnic. After meeting Wally, Mrs. Hanson seems to want to promote a romance between Wally and Alma as she is arranging a series of outings for the two. Not only is Wally concerned, but so is Ward, who believes Wally should be able to make his own dates. Wally, who likes Alma as a friend, doesn't want to hurt Alma's feelings by declining any of Mrs. Hanson's offers. Ward thinks he has a solution to Wally's problem, but Ward's plan goes a little beyond its intended effect, especially between Ward and June and Mrs. Hanson.
