30m

Betty and Veronica run for class president, with Archie and Reggie, respectively, their campaign managers. The race is nothing but trouble as Betty and Veronica attempt to buy votes and end up in a spray-painted, sooty, sandy mess. They withdraw from the race, preferring to be best friends instead of opponents. With no candidates no one votes, except Jughead who votes for himself. / Eugene's science project goes hay-wire and shoots down a U.F.O. Archie takes care of the alien, “dude” while Jughead repairs the U.F.O. Dude gets a crush on Betty, shows his stuff on the basketball court, and almost gets captured by Reggie and Veronica; but Jughead fires up the U.F.O with feltzig – that's alien-talk for hamburger – and Dude is back in space on his way home.

Both groups suspect Mr. Weatherbee, the school principal when they see him wearing a red sweat suit and tennis shoes spending a lot of money. The polie are called in, but it seems Mr. Weatherbee is buying gifts for Miss Grundy since it's her birthday and his sack of diamonds is actually a bag of roses.
