Archie fears for Joey's mortal soul because he hasn't been baptized and Mike and Gloria don't want to put religion in his life. So Archie gets the idea to sneak down to the church while he and Edith are babysitting and have it done before Mike and Gloria return for Joey. Edith is completely against it, locking Archie's hat and coat in the closet and refusing to give up the key. While her back is turned, he grabs a hat and sweater out of a box of donated clothes for the poor, grabs Joey out of his pram, and runs to the church. The minister refuses to perform the baptism without the parents' consent, so Archie sneaks into the sanctuary and does it himself.
