Dennis the Menace season 2 episode 15, titled "Dennis, The Campaign Manager," follows the mischievous adventures of young Dennis Mitchell as he takes on the role of campaign manager for his neighbor, Mr. Wilson, who is running for city council.

As the episode begins, Mr. Wilson is less than thrilled about running for office. He's hesitant about the whole idea, and figures he doesn't stand a chance of winning anyway. But Dennis, always eager for a new challenge, decides to take matters into his own hands and volunteers to manage Mr. Wilson's campaign.

Dennis approaches the task with the same enthusiasm he brings to everything - which is to say, he throws himself into it wholeheartedly, with little regard for the consequences. He sets up a makeshift campaign headquarters in Mr. Wilson's garage, complete with banners, posters, and a makeshift phone bank.

But things get off to a rocky start when Dennis realizes that he doesn't really know much about politics. He's never even voted before, let alone worked on a political campaign. So he decides to do some research, recruiting his friends Joey and Margaret to help him out.

Together, the trio embark on a crash course in politics, learning everything they can about the issues and Mr. Wilson's potential opponents. They even hold a mock debate, with Dennis and Joey taking on the roles of the other candidates.

But despite their best efforts, things go awry on the campaign trail. Dennis's lack of experience shows in his overenthusiastic approach, sometimes alienating potential supporters with his overly aggressive tactics.

Meanwhile, Mr. Wilson struggles to find his voice as a candidate. He's not sure how to make his platform stand out from those of his rivals, and he's uncomfortable with the spotlight that comes with running for office.

But with Dennis's encouragement, he gradually gains confidence. Dennis helps him craft a campaign speech that emphasizes Mr. Wilson's integrity and dedication to the community, and even rallies his friends to help hand out flyers and knock on doors.

As Election Day approaches, tensions are high - not just for Mr. Wilson, but for Dennis and his friends as well. But through it all, Dennis remains optimistic, believing that hard work and determination will carry them to victory.

The episode culminates in a nail-biting race to the finish, with Mr. Wilson, his opponents, and their supporters all waiting for the results to come in. When the final tally is announced, the outcome is a surprise - one that leaves Dennis and his friends wondering whether their hard work was all for naught.

Overall, "Dennis, The Campaign Manager" is an engaging and entertaining episode of Dennis the Menace. It's a fun and lighthearted take on the world of politics, with just the right amount of humor and heart to keep audiences of all ages engaged. Fans of the show will love seeing Dennis once again getting into all sorts of mischief, while newcomers will be charmed by his infectious enthusiasm and irrepressible spirit.
