Synopsis

Hurt that everyone in town considers him a freak for his huge appetite, Jughead decides to go on a diet. As soon as he stops eating, he becomes stupid, endangering his ability to win the inter-city scholarship trophy for the school. Miss Grundy realizes why Jughead never got fat: his body converts food into brain power instead of flab, and when he's not eating, he's not smart.

When bees invade Miss Grundy's room, Jughead is able to tame them by whistling, which gets him in more trouble with Mr. Weatherbee and leaves the bees buzzing around Mr. Weatherbee's head. Mr. Weatherbee pleads with Jughead to whistle them away, but Jughead lets out such a shrill whistle, that all the bees sting Mr. Weatherbee.
