Archie discovers that Cricket O'Dell doesn't only have the power to smell money, but to trace the scent of anyone who is rich. He asks Cricket to lead him to Veronica, over the objections of Dilton, who wants to make a scientific study of Cricket's powers instead of using them for cheap romantic gain.
