It all takes place in Mayfield, Ohio. However, this is not the Mayfield of the fifties but the Mayfield of the nineties. Still, there is the irrepressible Beaver who gets and loses the bicycle of his dreams, makes and quits the football team, has a series of misadventures with his friends, and, of course, hangs out with his big brother Wally. Ward and June are here too as the ever patient parents providing the stability of home, a dependable ear, and a watchful and concerned eye: "Ward, I'm a little worried about The Beaver."
