Two pretty girls, Cheryl and Lori, admit to each other that Jughead's beanie turns them on, and decide to admit their feelings to him. Jughead is turned off by the new female attention, but when he falls asleep while watching a science fiction movie, some strange power expands beyond the TV set and changes Jughead. When he wakes up, he has a new, mysterious pin on his beanie, and is suffused with the desire to see, to talk to, and even to touch a girl.
