For Archie it’s always a matter of life and death, but do you know what he needs to do? Just relax.

Today in Riverdale, Fred and Mary Andrews sit around the breakfast table, discussing troubles that surround their lives, and get into an arguement. When a headline catches the eye of Archie, he reads that a Nazi POW has escaped, and may be lurking around Riverdale. He is worried, but has heroic dreams of capturing the prisoner.

When Archie skips out on school to tail the man that he sees lurking around, Betty and Jughead sneak along with him as he spots his likely suspect. They spy on him and follow him around, fearing that he may blow up the school. Is that a bad thing, or a good thing? In Riverdale (or anywhere) , its bad, definitely bad.

The small band of teenagers see their chance and pounce. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Riverdale Fred gets the bad news that his business appointment has gone missing, and a car is stolen. Could this be the same man, and car that our young heroes are recklessly driving through town to take their prisoner to the police station in? Imagine their surprise to be arrested for the theft of a car. Now the mystery behind the missing school official, and man who was to meet with Fred Andrews remains. I’ll bet nobody checked the car did they?

Archie and his friends are bailed out of jail, but nobody is listening to his story about Nazi’s. Is there any Nazis actually in Riverdale? Why is the car missing again? And why hasn’t that missing school official turned up yet? The harmless, unrelated incidents all come to a head when a real Nazi actually does appear as the plot thickens.

Paths converge, but will the cops and Archie be able to catch up with the missing car, and it’s passengers? Will I be giving anything away if I say the unlikely phrase, “Carbon monoxide to the rescue?”
