Separated from the gang while on a beach picnic, Reggie is terrified by evidence of a giant -- actually props for a movie being filmed on location. When he conceitedly tries to talk himself into a movie role, the director hires him for an Egyptian epic, then binds him mouth and body with mummy wrappings.; Dilton accidentally shrinks himself. Reggie scorns what he thinks is a doll, then panics when the supposed doll "comes to life."; The gang runs into a bear while berry-picking, and Dilton loses his glasses. The bear uses them to watch the drive-in movies from afar.; Archie's broke and can't buy Veronica any lunch at the beach, so Reggie takes advantage and steps in. Archie borrows money from Betty, convincing Veronica that he's not only cheap but dishonest.; Big Ethel's parrot helps the girls capture wanted criminals.; Archie pretends to be enthusiastic about his chores, hoping his parents will think he's going crazy, and so reduce his work load. Wise to his plan, they take him at his word and pile it on instead.; Archie accidentally ruins Mr. Lodge's prize geraniums while lawn bowling, so Mr. Lodge uses Archie and Jughead as pins.; Reggie forces Archie to be late to meet Veronica, so that she will be annoyed. It turns out he's going to Reggie's surprise party.; Li'l Jinx eats lots of food in front of the T.V. set, as practice for being a baby sitter.; Archie ignores the "keep out" sign, and focuses on the mat that says "welcome."; Ethel can ask any boy she pleases for a date. But she doesn't please anyone.; Veronica searches all over for Archie, so that once she finds him she can show how much she's ignoring him.; Archie's hitching a ride, but he won't get out of his car.; Greg is rough to Gaga. Li'l Jinx wonders why he likes Gaga instead of her.
