As Ward looks forward to the annual family camping trip, he and the family are thrown for a loop when Wally asks if he could stay home and spend time with a new girl he has a crush on. However, things don't go as Wally plans when he learns that his crush will be out of town with her family for the summer, resulting in Wally trying to find a way to go along with his family on their vacation.

While learning the difference between stocks and bonds in his Economics class, Wally and the Beaver decide to pool their money together in order to purchase some stocks. However, they go against Ward's advice and listen to Eddie about a stock he insists is a sure thing, only to learn a valuable lesson that something that's too good to be true usually is.
