The stories

“Germ Warfare”

Reggie leaves a dollar bill on the sidewalk, sparking an argument between Archie, who wants to pick it up, and Veronica, who considers it unsanitary to pick things up off the sidewalk.

“Shades of Larceny”

Reggie breaks the lampshade that Archie was bringing to the church rummage sale, and comes up with a "shrewd" way to get a replacement for almost nothing.

“Trouble Free”

Mr. Lodge mistakes a bathrobe-clad Archie for his daughter.

“Undercover Girl!”
