In "Every Which Way But Jughead," Archie, Reggie, and Jughead take a strange job assisting a scientist with DNA testing—only to find themselves tangled in a wild mix-up when Eastwood, an orangutan, turns up wearing Jughead’s hat. The gang scrambles to figure out if the primate is really Jughead in disguise, leading to a series of hilarious attempts to prove it one way or another.

When Mr. Lodge installs giant exercise balls as office chairs, Archie finds himself rolling into an unexpected showdown when a robbery unfolds—turning the office into a high-stakes game of balance and quick thinking.

In "Open Door Policy," Archie and Jughead take matters into their own hands—literally—when they remove Mr. Weatherbee’s office door to fix the hinges, only to discover that without it, the entire school can see right through. Now the principal is furious about his lost privacy, while Archie and Jughead are left wondering if they’ve just made things worse.

In "The Wax Wagon," Mr. Weatherbee tasks Professor Flutesnoot with a peculiar challenge: repurpose his new riding lawn mower to polish floors for Svenson, all while navigating the school’s tight budget. With a mix of mad science and small-town charm, the story rolls into motion as Jo and her classmates watch in disbelief—can a lawnmower really become a floor waxer?
