Archie tries selling cute little baskets, and quickly gathers a crowd of enthusiastic girls. When a policeman runs him in for peddling without a license the girls all insist that he was not selling -- that these are only little mementos for all his girl friends. This gets him off until Veronica gets wind of all those girls. Then he begs to be jailed for his own protection.
