Beaver and Larry go watch "the big kids" play baseball. The fellows all pile their wallets, jackets, and watches on Beaver for him to watch while they play. After everybody has gathered their stuff, after the game, Lumpy asks for his watch from Beaver, but Beaver doesn't have it. Lumpy threatens to thrash him or even call the police if his fifteen dollar watch is not returned. All through the next few days this giant fellow menaces the boy. He calls him at home and threatens him, he jumps out behind shrubbery on Beaver's way to school and threatens him. It's all quite hard to watch him bully Beaver, who is convinced he lost this expensive watch.
Beaver feels like he can't tell his parents because of the talk around the house about watching things in your trust and not losing stuff. But then Beaver tries to cash a savings bond his aunt got him so that he can buy Lumpy a new watch and taking the bond gets the attention of Beaver's parents. Ward is livid about what's happened, but Clarence/Lumpy is also the son of his business partner, Fred Rutherford, and so Ward needs to proceed cautiously.
Lumpy Rutherford was initially introduced as a guy two years older than Wally and Eddie, often a bully, less so to Wally as Wally began to get a growth spurt. But he must have been left back a couple of times because at the end of the series the three are graduating together. Lumpy transitions to the not too bright, sometime partner in crime to Eddie Haskell, and the three - Wally, Eddie, and Lumpy are pretty much the three musketeers by graduation.
