Teenage Toons: French Deception (The Archie-Sabrina Hour, 1977)

 Boy scientist Dilton Doiley (Howard Morris), in an effort to impress a French exchange student (Jane Webb, of course), builds a machine to help her translate French to English, but the jealousy of Betty & Veronica (Webb again) sabotages the plot. Or does it?


Nearly 40 years later, in the books, Dilton would finally find love, albeit vying for the hand of an exchange student from India while Betty & Veronica were on their European tour. It is clear in this series, though, that Morris was losing the inflection in his Dilton voice, not that anyone really noticed.

Rating: B.
