这部剧是 50 年代美国梦的**“视觉标本”。故事围绕着克利弗（Cleaver）一家展开：完美的父亲沃德、永远穿着围裙和珍珠项链的母亲琼、懂事的哥哥沃利，以及全剧的核心——那个永远在闯些无伤大雅小祸的弟弟“比弗” (Beaver)**。

不同于当时其他家庭剧侧重父母，这部剧破天荒地从小孩子的视角来看世界。比弗每天遇到的麻烦无非是：不想洗澡、怕老师、被同学欺负、或者因为误解了大人的一句话而闹出笑话。每一集结尾，父亲沃德总会温和地给孩子们讲一个人生道理，平息所有的风波。

Peter Potter Jr. returns to claim his father's gold, which is nowhere to be found.

"Leave It to Beaver" (1957-1963) is a family show set in the suburban town of Mayfield that focuses on the Cleaver family: Ward (Hugh Beaumont), father and accountant; June (Barbara Billingsley), wife and stay-at-home Mom; and their two boys, Wally (Tony Dow) a teenager, and their youngest, Theodore, better known to everyone as "Beaver" (Jerry Mathers). While television of the 1950s and '60s had its share of family shows during its black and white age, including "Father Knows Best" with Robert Young and Jane Wyatt; "The Donna Reed Show" (with Donna Reed and Carl Betz); "Dennis the Menace" (starring Jay North); and later, the long running series, "My Three Sons" (1960-1972) with Fred MacMurray, it seemed unlikely that "Leave It to Beaver" would become the one sit-com to survive and continue to air on television, whether locally or on cable, almost forty years after its final first run episode in 1963. The aforementioned family comedy shows had its share of reruns over the years before slowly disappearing into Limbo, replaced by newer programs to its Color-oriented viewers, but this innocent black and white show which was done on film and not on video tape (thank goodness), and to date never colorized to attract younger viewers, it still entertains as is. "Leave It to Beaver" geared to its younger viewers when first aired, but today, the children who loved it back then are either adults or grandparents currently sharing their TV memories with their young ones. And the tradition continues.

本·马尼拜格(派瑞·沈饰)是一名亚裔美国高中少年——一个极其聪明的完美主义者，背负着亚洲人的传统思想，但是过于有成就感反而成为一种井蛙之见，直接束缚了他思想的正常发展。本生活在加利福尼亚州橘县的一个保守的郊区，学校和班级都是一样的压抑，生活中除了三点一线似乎再没有其他的激情可言。就这样平淡地渡过中学时光，本毕业时是班级成绩最优秀的学生，顺利地进入到最好的常春藤联盟大学。

小男孩哈尼在森林中漫步时，发现了他的父亲——哈利的尸体。不同于一般谋杀案，这次因为多人都自认为凶手而令案情更加扑朔迷离。亚伯特船长（埃德蒙•格温 Edmund Gwenn 饰）认为是他在打猎射击时误杀了哈利；村落里的老处女葛雷布礼小姐（麦尔翠德•耐维克 Mildred Natwick 饰）认为是因为她为了保住自己的名声而用一只鞋子打了哈利的头部而造成他的死亡；与哈利感情不睦的妻子珍妮佛（雪莉•麦克雷恩 Shirley MacLaine 饰）则认为是她因为反抗哈利的性爱用装牛奶的罐子敲向他的脑袋而造成了他的死亡。真相最后能否水落石出？
