Synopsis: In the final chapter of this adventurous story, Archie and the gang climb back into the earth ship, as another rock person runs onto the scene saying that the lab has just received a shipment of amnesia gas, a harmless gas that will make Archie and friends forget all about the rock people. The ship then burrows back out of the earth. Several hours later, they arrive at the entrance to the mine shaft and start heading for home. Reggie mentions that he doesn't like spelunking. Betty agrees. Archie says it's too boring. Jughead says that they were away all day and nothing exciting happened.
