Archie is repainting the horizontal stripe along the school's interior walls. When Mr. Weatherbee sees the new good-looking girl in school, he knows Archie will be too distracted to paint a straight line, so he gets Jughead to do it. Jughead decides it will be quicker to do it on roller skates, which works fine until he hits the stairs. He makes such a mess of it that Mr. Weatherbee decides to paint the stripe himself.; Everyone is selling raffle tickets to help the children's hospital. Jughead claims he only wants to win the television set for selling the most, because he knows some guys who he can unload it on. The others make a point to out-sell Jughead at every place he tries to sell tickets just to he won't win. They all end up selling 50 tickets apiece but Jughead still wins by selling 80. Mr. Weatherbee points out that because of Jughead's actions, everyone sold more tickets and then he shows them who Jughead unloaded the television on - the children at the children's hospital.; Reggie pretends to be injured to get a soda and play a joke on the girls. Archie sends Reggie to get a practical joke idea from Jughead. Reggie says Jughead was pretending to have measles, but Jughead wasn't pretending.; Archie and Reggie try to play a joke on Jughead by telling the girls he is keeping a kid in the tool shed. Meanwhile, Peanuts, a local boy, has told Jughead they put the young goat in the tool shed, and Jughead tells him to stay there and wait for them to come back. When the girls come and find a real child in the tool shed, they thrash Archie and Reggie.; Li'l Jinx's father tells her that daffodil and other flowers come from bulbs, so she takes every light bulb out of the house to plant them.; Archie gives Jughead a talking bird. Jughead cooks the bird and eats it. Archie says that it spoke three languages and Jughead asks why then, didn't it say something.; Jughead convinces the girls that sodas are fattening. The scale shows they have gained weight, so they offer their sodas to Jughead. Pop checks the scale and says it's ten pounds over.
