Plot

During a boy-girl raffle at a school picnic, Wally (Tony Dow) draws the name of his classmate Alma Hanson (Carol Sydes). Sizing up Wally as a "good catch," Alma's mother (played by Jean Vander Pyl, best known to cartoon fans as the voice of Wilma Flintstone) does everything in her power to keep Wally and Alma together. After a while, Wally begins to feel trapped, whereupon his dad, Ward (Hugh Beaumont), comes up with a plan to rescue his son from Mrs. Hanson's clutches -- with ironic results. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
