Archie is up late at night pacing the floor worried about his accidental initiation in to the local branch of the Ku Klux Klan. After trying to explain the situation to Edith comes to nothing, he moves his misery downstairs to the kitchen where he finds that one of the Klan brothers is waiting at the back door. The man advises him that not only is he a shoo in to become a full-fledge member but that the Klan is planning to burn five different crosses at five different locations - including Mike's house due to the angry letter that he recently wrote to the newspaper. The next day, Archie goes to see Mike to try and talk him into resending the statement, but Mike refuses. In his feeble attempt to explain the situations, he leads Mike and Gloria to believe that he has joined the Klan and refuse to speak to him. Archie goes to the meeting place and asks the guys not to burn the cross. They accuse him of not being a true blue American and threaten to burn a cross in front of his house. He reminds them that he has black blood, from a transfusion from his gall bladder operation and that he can get his black brothers on them. Stating "feet do your stuff", he makes a hasty retreat.
