Reggie steals a raw egg from the cookery class and puts it in his pocket in order to give Archie an 'egg shampoo' later that day. Mr. Weatherbee reaches in and grabs the egg thinking that he was stealing cookies like the other boys and gets egg all over his hand. Mr. Weatherbee then tapes another raw egg to the top of Reggie's scalp telling Reggie that if he can keep his chums from 'accidentally' breaking it by the end of the days he wins.
