Betty and Veronica are looking over the new addition to Mr. Lodge's plant when it catches fire, blocking all the exits and even destroying the firefighters' ladder. Archie and Jughead break into the building to try a "million-one-shot" at saving the girls.; Archie tries to do a good deed by retrieving two kids' ball from the back of a truck. Unfortunately, the truck starts moving while he's still in it.; A mysterious green box emits an invisible, steadily growing aura that causes instant aging and decay to anything -- and anyone -- within range. Archie comes up with a way to destroy the box before its evil force destroys the entire town.
