A selection of dolls based on Archie characters. If you wind up the Archie doll, it dates the nearest girl doll. Don’t bother to wind up the Jughead doll because it doesn’t do anything.; Archie and Reggie are digging the lovely chicks on the beach while waiting for Betty and Veronica. When the girls apologize for keeping them waiting, the boys reward them with a couple of ice-cream cones.; Archie and the gang visit an Aztec pyramid.; The boys are shocked to see Jughead wearing a suit and buying flowers. They never knew he was interested in girls. He enters the stage door of a theater advertising “Follies!” and “Girls! Girls! Girls!” Jug is there to give flowers to his Aunt Jenny, the cleaning woman of the theater.; Dilton has been trying to tell Jane something for over an hour.; Veronica’s using summer to plan her future, which includes going to the beach to meet new boys she can date in the fall and winter.; Jughead loves tiddlywinks because it’s the only sport he can play lying down.; Veronica asks Moose to keep an eye on her young cousin Leroy. When Leroy refuses to stay put, Moose sticks him to the beach by putting a beach umbrella pole down the lad’s swimming trunks.; Betty’s friend Alice has a Cleopatra hairdo inspired by the movie.; Jughead searches for his gum at a bowling alley.; Archie and Jughead don't want to look like beginners with the surfing crowd. The life preservers around their waists blows their cover.; Resting under a tree, Reggie isn’t fazed as a two-headed dog, an outer-space alien, a man so tall you only see half of him and Frankenstein’s monster. What gets his attention is a sexy brunette wearing a beret and a tight little black dress.; When business is slow, Pop goes to woods full of trees carved with lovers hearts and messages...and carves an ad for his store on one of them.; Sitting in a hammock, Archie explains why he’s too tired to go swimming. It’s because his heart beat 102,000 times today, his blood traveled 169,000 miles, he took breath 22,000 times, he spoke 4,700 words, he moved 748 muscles and used 7,100,000 brain cells. No wonder he’s exhausted.; Dilton is showing the girls “the smartest electronic machine ever constructed!”; Archie and Reggie are playing on Leroy’s swing to the amusement of the girls. What the girls don’t know is that, when they swing high enough, they can ogle the sun-bathing beauty in the next yard.; Veronica was driving and got into an accident. Her father isn’t worried about the car, just that she left the scene of the accident. She says she didn’t, pointing to the fence, hat and sign stuck to the front of the car. She brought the accident with her!; Mr. Lodge is showing Archie the portraits of the Lodge military hero ancestors. One painting shows a man peeping out from the border. That ancestor was a spy for the Confederate army.; Veronica tells Betty she shouldn't repeat gossip.; Veronica beseeches a lifeguard to save Archie...from Betty!; Archie asks Coach Kleats how the team is shaping up. The coach says they can’t field or hit too well and probably won’t win a game all season.
