Sinister Sid, a villain with an all-consuming hatred of music ("It's all-consuming, you know!"), creates a special smog that has the power to destroy music. Soon no one can sing or play or even remember what music sounds like. The Archies set off on a magic carpet ride to find this "music-napper" and end his anti-melodic reign of terror.
