As the end of the school year comes to a close, Archie and Betty sit on the porch, talking about their Summer plans. Betty takes offense when Archie reveals his plan to go to Stevens Lake, because Veronica is going there. After some changing of minds, and having to backtrack with parents, Archie once again changes his plan when Veronica tells him that her plans have changed. Back to plan A.
Time moves on, and the teens enjoy an afternoon at camp. Archie gets the job of escorting a young gal around camp. Though he would rather take her to watch the rest of the baseball game in progress, she prefers to take a long walking tour. The teenage gal seems to have romantic inclinations, but Archie isn’t paying attention, but when she insists on going on the lake, it turns into an adventure that leads to being rescued from drowning.
Archie is annoyed, but the girl is grateful. In the end he regrets not listening to his uncle, and camp counselor, when he gave those lectures on honesty and following the rules, and Jughead ends up with the rewards that were due to Archie.
Note: This episode runs for only about 13 minutes. At the time of this posting, I haven’t been able to track down the full show. if someone out there has a copy, please let me know.
PS: This is also likely the wrong date for this episode. if it ran in May of 1946, it would either have aired on May 1, or May 8. Given the topic of camp, it may have aired later in the Summer. Or a different year entirely.
