Short summary

Betty takes up the sport of fencing.

There are many similarities between this episode and Father Knows Best: A Medal for Margaret (1958) . Both plots have one of the main female characters feeling frustrated at her lack of accomplishments, so she trains with a wisecracking older man to learn a new skill. Then something happens at the last minute to prevent her from testing her new skill in a competition. Both episodes were written by Roswell Rogers.
