 Inspired by a movie featuring an Eskimo kayak, Wally and his friends build one of their own and, in spite of Ward s warning, secretly launch the craft on Miller s Pond. But when Beaver is the only one small enough to fit in the boat s small opening and he and the craft capsize, the boys try to keep their parents from finding out by cleverly sneaking a soaking wet Beaver up to his bedroom for a bath.
