Archie and Jughead show up at the beach before sunrise to see the beautiful sight and get the best spot on the beach. They then take a nap, sleeping through the entire day, even while Veronica and Betty play volleyball over the top of them. They wake up after all have left the beach wondering if this was the shortest day of the year.; Archie goes out to play tennis with Reggie. He runs into a little girl whose cat is caught in a tree. Archie uses his tennis racket to save the cat. Then he runs into a little boy who lost his yo-yo in a mud pit. Archie uses his racket to get it out and spray it off with a hose. Then when he and Reggie do finally get onto the court, Charlie shows up with an ice cream cone. His little sister tries to force a lick off the cone and it goes flying. Archie thinks it is a sneak serve by Reg and smacks it, getting ice cream all over himself. He goes home to get cleaned off.; Archie wants to make the diving team and is practicing at Veronica's home. While he is warming up, Smithers takes Veronica's father's breakfast to poolside (not knowing Archie is there). Archie does a swan dive/belly flop, splashing water all over the meal before her dad gets there. When dad notices that there's water everywhere, they notice Archie splashing with his dives and they chase him off the property.; Archie becomes a lifeguard and takes it to heart when the lead guard tells all of them that talking to pretty girls while on duty can lead to someone drowning.; Archie tells Veronica that he's going to go swimming by a gorgeous redhead in the water. Veronica gets mad at him for daring to say that while with her. You'll have to read the story to get the punchline!; Archie and Jughead are missing Betty and Veronica. Jughead mentions that TV is just summer replacements. Then Archie sees a blond on the beach and says that's just what he needs is a summer replacement.; Jinx asks Greg how he broke his arm. He asks her if she sees those stairs over there and she says yes. He says he didn't.; Gag #1: Archie runs into his father at a rummage sale, where he is carrying a lamp. His dad states it is a bargain and has Archie carry it into the house to surprise his Mom. She asks why he hasn't taken the lamp to the rummage sale yet. Gag #2: Archie comes home from the ice cream shop. His dad asks what took so long and he says that Veronica was there and that the ice cream is in the freezer. His mother says the container is a block of frozen water and they notice the goldfish in there. Archie laughs when he thinks of Veronica dumping the ice cream into the fish tank.
