A scruffy-looking man on a motorcycle offers to sell him one for only $20. Archie buys it, but soon after he has it installed, he learns that Mr. Weatherbee's car was robbed and the thief got away with a Wheezinblatt player, just like the one Archie has. His sense of guilt and fear that the player might have been stolen starts to overwhelm him.
