Synopsis[]
Archie makes a bet that he can go without a cigar longer than Mike can go without eating, making for a very stressful weekend for the Bunkers and the Stivics.
Episode summary[]
Archie comes home irritated about a woman who asked him to put out his cigar on an elevator. He argues with Mike and Gloria about the new anti-smoking law on elevators, to which Archie very sarcastically blows a "raspberry". In a show of will-power Mike and Archie make a $20 bet. Mike agrees to give up eating for two days if Archie can give up smoking. Suspicious of each other, they sleep in the same bed and drive each other crazy.
The next day, the two continue to drive each other crazy when Mike reveals all the hiding places where Archie has hidden cigars. Archie then tempts Mike with pudding while Mike tempts Archie with smoking. Gloria puts a stop to the nonsense, by suggesting that Archie light up at the same moment that Mike takes a bite of pudding. Archie cheats and doesn't light the cigar but while mocking Mike, he burns his fingers with the match. It is never revealed whether Mike paid Archie the $20.
