Little Archie and the Good Ol' Gang
Little Archie Andrews; Ambrose Pipps; Little Betty Cooper; Little Veronica Lodge; Little Moose Mason; Little Jughead Jones; Little Reggie Mantle; Loreli; Sheldon Broadbeam; Ludwig La Stanza
Our story begins at a top secret rocket launching site, deep in the heart of Fox Forest, Riverdale, U.S.A., planet Earth!
Little Archie and the Good Ol' Gang build a rocket out of a barrel and a giant slingshot, but can't find anyone who'll volunteer to go to the moon in it. When Ambrose comes by, trying to get into the Good Ol' Gang, the kids promise him that he can be part of the gang if he goes up in the rocket -- and if he comes back alive.
