Enter Clarence Rutherford.
Series writers Joe Connelly and Joe Mosher originally made "Lumpy" Rutherford's character a bully, as he is seen here. Of course, as the series went along, actor Frank Bank, who was fun to watch, eventually turned into a gentle giant, AND not particularly smart. You have to admit, there were more funny stories with that slant.
In this case, Beave and Wally want to even the score against big bad Lumpy, and they get a few pointers from Ward. True, he had many stories (with possibilities) of growing up back in the day, much like all our dads at one time or another.
Does it all work... not quite. Without fail, complaining Fred Rutherford is dragged into the mess. Long time character actor Richard Deacon was perfectly cast in this role, although he bore no resemblence to Lumpy. I will always say he was best compared to wise guy Eddie Haskell, and it was a missed opportunity he didn't play Eddie's father instead.
Frank Bank, who quit acting after the series ended and went into business, later returned with the original cast members in the 80s reworking of Leave It to Beaver.
