- Richie and Potsie get Fonzie's help to join the Demons (a social club for pranksters), but are on their own going through their initiations, called "The Deadly Dares".
- Ralph (Donny Most) enters the school dance, where Richie (Ron Howard) and Potsie (Anson Williams) unsuccessfully try to get girls, observing Bag Zombroski of the Demons gang having greater success. Potsie suggests they try to join the gang, pointing out that Fonzie used to be a member.
Fonzie (Henry Winkler) struggles to start his bike as Richie and Potsie approach him to ask about joining the Demons. He reluctantly agrees to help them.
Howard (Tom Bosley) and Joanie (Erin Moran) paint as Richie prepares to go meet the Demons. Howard advises him to be smart.
Fonzie attends the Demons initiation with Richie and Potsie. They both make it past the first stage, then say they must do the "deadly dares" in order to be members.
At Arnold's, they are dared to make juvenile crank calls and kiss Marsha. They then are dared to roller skate through the hallway at school, stealing a teacher's toupee in the process. At the movie theater, they are dared to sing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and they are joined by the other people in the theater as well. In a screening room where Richie's family are present.
Howard gets a headache and while Marion (Marion Ross) goes to get aspirin, Richie apologizes for embarrassing them. At home, Howard suggests to Richie that the girls who fall for Demons may not be worth it. Later at Arnold's, as another dare, they tie a police officer's shoelaces together as he speaks to Marsha and plans a date with her. However, this is ruined when the officer falls on her and she thinks he is assaulting her.
The final dare for the boys to become Demons is to go to a school dance dressed as girls. Fonzie dances with Richie and when he learns that "she" is Richie, he claims to have known the whole time and was trying to help him.
Richie and Potsie later decide that they do not really want to be Demons, reflecting Howard's advice. And Joanie says she doesn't want to wear Richie's hand me downs.
