For sixty-five years, Archie Andrews has been caught in a love triangle with rich vixen Veronica Lodge and girl next door Betty Cooper.

When left with the choice between a nice girl that will worship the ground he walks on and a wealthy girl that he will be able to freeload off of for the rest of his life, what choice does Archie Andrews make?
