As is typical, Fred Andrews tries to read his newspaper, but mom has a request. How does a night of playing Bridge sound? Before arrangements can be made, Archie shares his windfall of two fre movie tickets. It looks like everybody has a fun night in store for them.
Archie gets giggly as he phones Veronica, but she already has a date with Reginald. Maybe Jughead will go? Of course he will, but now Veronica phones back to say her date fell through. What’s an overacting teenage boy to do? Block dad from using the phone to invite his own guests over for Bridge, what else? With a lot of effort, and an attempt at tact, Archie convinces Jughead not to go to the film.
Whew, with Jughead out of the picture, all Archie has to do is confirm with Veronica, and pick her up. Simple, until Betty enters into the mix. Will dad ever get to use the phone? Will there be no end to the changing minds of Archie’s friends? I feel some major confusion and chaos about to fall into the lap of good old Archie, and just when dad finally gets to use the phone.
Archie can work all this out in the end, right? Just listen in and enjoy the results of the mix up of the day.
