When Ozzie notices that David’s friends are taking advantage of his kindness, he sits him down for a lecture on the importance of standing up for himself. The lesson works a little too well. David takes the advice to heart and immediately puts it into practice—by refusing to help Ozzie with his chores! Ozzie must scramble to reverse course as his own well-meaning advice backfires on him in the most hilarious way. The charming irony of Ozzie getting a taste of his own medicine makes “The Fall Guy” a delightful early episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
