Disclose Notes: A very racy story for Archie, although Archie and Betty never see each other undressed and nothing romantic or lustful happens in the motel.

Art identifiable as Gus LeMoine by his style. See: http://www.toughguygoods.com/weekly_fastwillie.html

Script uncredited, but identifiable as Dick Malmgren by his distinctive writing style.
