When Veronica sees Archie helping Betty and Jughead tidy up the yard to prepare for next week's barbeque, Veronica suddenly reveals that she has a catered affair scheduled for the same night. Jughead and Betty reluctantly attend the party with Archie, but Veronica's snobby friends are so condescending that eventually all three end up having a wiener roast in Betty's back yard.; Veronica has a crush on fashion plate Lucius Peeby, whose father is editor of "Young Squire," which sets the tone for new teen boy styles.; Archie admires a small statue of Buddha.

Betty overhears Veronica tell Archie that she put the sweater in a locker she shares with Betty. After a battle with her conscience, Betty douses the package in water, then dries it out on a hot radiator, with the end result being a shrunken sweater.; Archie's father injures his back while playing ball with Archie in the backyard.; Veronica isn't dating Archie this week.; Two little boys ask Jughead for the secret of his success.; Pat asks his father if he could be President when he grows up.; Pat figures out a way to use his piano lessons to make a milkshake.; Archie introduces his cousin, the lumberjack, to Reggie.; Miss Grundy says Jughead should give more thought to his future.
