Beaver gets his first cavity and has to have it drilled by Dr. Harrison. He was fine, until Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford told him what happens when you have a cavity and made this loud rat-a-tat noise like a jackhammer. Now Beaver was scared to go. Before, the experience was nothing but good and he got a free toy. Now, he's petrified at the thought of a jackhammer drilling away at his teeth.
Ward takes him to the office and is disgusted with Beaver's scaredy-cat attitude. They meet Fred Rutherford and his daughter Violet (played by Veronica Cartwright) and Fred, in his nerd-and-ignorant style, makes things worse.
In the end, Beaver and his dad both learn some lessons. Ward, in particularly, reflects about being a good father and not expecting his kids to be perfect.
