Synopsis
Archie and Betty are teased about going to "G" rated films by Reggie and Veronica -- the only ones their parents will let them see.

Indexer Notes

This story appeared shortly after the Motion Picture Association of America introduced the rating system for movies.

Reggie and Veronica are going to see a movie that is rated "M". The "M" rating referred to stood for "Mature," and was later replaced with the more familiar "PG." In a digest reprint, the story was re-lettered so that Reggie and Veronica were going to see an "R" movie.
