Feeling that the guys treat him like a kid, Chachi falls asleep in a booth at Arnold's, and has a dream that he sells his soul to the devil's nephew.
The gang needs help in a big bar fight, but Fonzie has vowed not to engage in violence for 24 hours. Fonzie meets the mysterious Kat Mandu (Deborah Pratt).
Marion crashes Howard's beloved DeSoto into Arnold's and ends up behind bars. Meanwhile, Al tries to find a way to keep the cold out of Arnold's.
In hopes of working his way up the corporate ladder as a writer, Richie takes a loading dock job at the local newspaper and learns about life on the other side.
Chachi gets a job as a photographer's assistant, and panics when he finds out that Joanie will be one of the models appearing without clothes.
Guest starring: Rhonda Shear.
Richie loses control at a college party after a troublemaking frat boy nicknamed Bullfrog slips a Mickey Finn into his drink. After his friends turn against him because of his behavior at the party, Richie seeks Fonzie's help to expose Bullfrog and bust him for getting Richie in trouble.
Howard and Marion decide to renew their wedding vows.
Richie's promise to show the gang a great time in the outdoors does not go according to plan.
Joanie debates whether or not to visit Inspiration Point's "Alamo" with her new boyfriend.
When Al leaves Arnold's early, he leaves Chachi in charge. After Joanie (finally, after several past rejections) accepts a date with Chachi, Chachi becomes so overwhelmed with joy that he puts his feelings for Joanie in the way of responsibility, leaving the kitchen grill on and throwing his apron on the grill when he leaves, causing Arnold's to go up in flames. Fonzie, Potsie, and Ralph get trapped in the restroom; so Fonzie, using his motorcycle helmet, tries to break them out using his head; but gets knocked unconscious. Luckily, Richie and Lori Beth are nearby making out in Richie's car when Lori Beth hears Potsie and Ralph's desperate cries for help. Realizing what's happening, Richie and Lori Beth quickly rescue Ralph, Potsie, and Fonzie by tying a cord from their car to the restroom window's grate, breaking it away and bailing the guys out. Regardless, Arnold's unfortunately burns down. Later, as the gang surveys the damage, Chachi admits his irresponsibility that caused the disaster, which infuriates Fonzie. In the end, however, Fonzie offers his life savings to Al, volunteering to become Al's business partner as they set out to rebuild a more modern (for the 1960s) Arnold's.
