Production notes
Davey was a young boy who went on adventures with his dog Goliath. Goliath could talk and helped Davey and the family out in sticky predicaments. Sponsored by the Lutheran Council of Churches, the show's religious morals were very apparent.
Claymation stop-motion animation.
The stop-motion process used for filming was called "Pixillation," a method also used for Clokey Productions' earlier series "Gumby."

The Parade
Davey is a drummer. Davey and his friend decide to go to the tryouts for the drummer in the upcoming Parade. Davey performed for the Band Leader and Davey is accepted as the new drummer for the marching band.
Davey and his friend are so excited that they decide to enter a special float in the parade. They will have a lion in a cage. Guess who the lion will be? That’s right! Goliath will be the lion. Davey and his friend begin to start building he cage and discovery that they are running out of wood for the cage. Davey remembers that there is a construction site nearby and goes to see if he can find more wood. Davey finds wood that the carpenter was using and takes it!
Davey brings the wood and neglects to tell his friend where he got it. When the carpenter returns, he sees that the wood that he was using has been taken. He becomes very upset and begins to inquire around the neighborhood regarding the missing equipment. The carpenter discovered that Davey’s friend has used the wood for the float for Goliath. Davey’s friend is grounded by his father. While Davey is in the parade, he later learns that his friend wasn’t in the parade. When he goes to speak to his friend, he learns that his friend was grounded for stealing the wood from the construction site. Davey confesses that he was the one who took the wood from the construction site. Davey tells the carpenter that he was sorry. Davey is reminded that because he stole something that didn’t belong to him, his friend suffered for it. Davey now understands why sin is so bad. Someone always suffers when we sin. Christ Jesus suffered because of the sins of man. Davey and Goliath learned that someone always suffers when we do wrong.
