Harley, a city boy in a rural town, falls for a country girl named Willadean in this two-part series, “For The Love of Willadean,” which aired on Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. In the first episode titled “A Taste of Melon,” Harley, joins a club with some other rural boys. But when he shows an interest in the leader of the club’s girlfriend, which happens to be Willadean, the club members trick Harley into stealing a prize watermelon from a farmer as payback. In the show’s second episode, “Treasure in the Haunted House,” Harley is tricked again. This time, the boys send Harley into a house that’s rumored to be haunted. But instead of ghosts, he and the boys uncover a bag of money, which was reported stolen in a bank robbery. In each episode, it seems the precarious boy from the city will do just about anything if it means winning the heart of sweet little Willadean.
