First Archie doesn't have money to take Veronica out so he tells her he will be out of town, then he wins money in a radio contest so he tells her his plans changed. Then Fred wants the money Archie owes him so the date is back off until Archie runs into another windfall. Unfortunately expenses cost him that windfall but Veronica is done with his excuses.
