On a visit to Coyote Canyon, the three meet the Abominable Snowman, aka Bigfoot. To frighten him away, Little Archie hurls rocks at him, but Bigfoot picks up a tree branch and knocks each rock a mile away. Mr. Lodge starts to get the idea that by capturing and taming the beast, he'd have the player he needs to save his ball team. But Little Archie and Veronica don't like the idea, and Little Archie sneaks back to warn Bigfoot before it's too late.
