Eddie gives his son, Freddie, 80 dollars to bet on "Grandma Moses", a broken-down horse that never wins. When Freddie spots the Cleaver children, upset because they don't have the 80 dollars they need to repair the window they broke in Mary Ellen's new car, Freddie generously gives them Eddie's money, because the horse never wins - except for this time, at 90 to one.
Eddie is so furious that he sends Freddie to military school to be with his other son Bomber. And then Eddie begins missing the boy. Complications ensue.
This episode hearkens back to the season one episode of LITB entitled "Broken Window" where Wally and the Beaver break the passenger window in the family car by playing baseball too close to the house. In that episode, Wally calls on Eddie to advise them as to what to do as they also did not have enough money to repair the window before their parents got home. Eddie, however, in that episode did not offer to pay for anything.
Both of Eddie Haskell's kids were portrayed by Ken Osmond's actual children, with his youngest son only occasionally showing up and oldest son Eric, as Freddie, being a regular member of the cast. Note that the slides Eddie is looking at when he begins to miss Freddie are actual slides taken of Ken Osmond and son Eric when Eric was a toddler.
