Romancing Miss Stone

Romancing Miss Stone is an episode of the Danny and the Brothers series.
== Plot ==
Danny develops a crush on his teacher Miss Stone. When Danny believes Jeff is trying to take her, Danny attempts to get Jeff out of the picture. His plan fails and he dreams of a date with her, but after he asks, she turns him down. Challenged to a duel, Jeff is forced to accept once Alvin threatens to move to the orphanage. The following sunrise, Danny and Jeff duel in an Old World manner, with both duelists facing their backs and taking ten paces, then firing. Corey and Marlon supply water balloons to Jeff and Danny, respectively, with the first one to get hit being the loser. Jeff is too slow for Danny, having barely missed one toss, but Danny's early boastfulness causes him to get hit. Danny bemoans that he has lost the duel and Miss Stone forever, but later gets over it and accepts that Dave is a better date for her. As Dave gets ready to go on a date with Miss Stone, he has hired a teenage girl named Sandy, whom Danny is immediately smitten over. Marlon and Theodore figure Alvin is back to his old ways, but Dave chuckles that they must be realistic; they could not expect Alvin to give up girls cold turkey!
