After Jughead is asked to round up six Riverdale girls for a beauty contest, he tells Archie to have Veronica compete while he gathers five homely girls so that Veronica will be a shoo-in. Unfortunately, Betty also plans to enter, and Veronica and Betty compete over a polka dot bathing suit. While convincing Betty not to buy the suit, Archie accidentally convinces Veronica of the same thing, but the suit wearer ends up winning the contest.
