After a space vehicle lands on Earth for repairs, a young boy, Odiko, wanders away into Riverdale, where the Good Ol' Gang notices his superhuman speed and asks him to join their baseball team. But most of the gang turns against Odiko when they discover that he has no reflection, although Chuck defends him, arguing that he's a nice kid even if he is different. When Odiko runs away from the angry gang, Little Archie manages to beat him to the Hockomock Swamp and he apologizes to Odiko for the way the gang treated him and gives him a gum ball as a souvenir of Earth.
