Plot

Richie enters Arnold's in a red devil suit. Arnold's now has an espresso machine and Al offers him a cup. The fraternity is having a Dante's Inferno party at the sorority house - and everybody has to dress as a character from hell. Ralph comes dressed as a dentist and Potsie as 'Bluebeard' (with an actual blue beard). Chachi says he is grown up and Ralph says Chachi should get Richie to buy his soul. Lori Beth comes dressed as Lady Godiva. Al tells Chachi he is too young to drink coffee. Al leaves with Germaine and lets Chachi close Arnold's up. Chachi says it's not fair that he is too young and is left out of everything. He says he would sell his soul to the devil to be more grown up. Melvin Scratch (the nephew of the devil) mysteriously disappears in a screen of smoke and has come to buy Chachi's souls. Chachi says he likes redheads and receives a call from Lisa and Linda (both redheads). Chachi signs a contract and Melvin tells him to go to Inspiration Point to collect his redheads. Back at the house in a dream sequence, Joanie has a new $50 dress and is dating Chachi. They all think he is a warm and wonderful person. At Arnold's, Fonzie is sorry for being in 'Chachi's office'. Chachi explains to Fonzie how he sold his soul to Melvin Scratch. Fonzie talks to Melvin who pops around in the office. Melvin says if Fonzie can go 24 hours without kissing a girl, Chachi goes free. Otherwise, Chachi goes down with the devil as does The Fonz. Richie meets Melvin. Melvin makes Maha Hari appear. Then a girl does the dance of 7 veils. Richie sacrifices himself as all three girls kiss him. Random the Angel then appears and turns the girls into Potsie, Ralph, and Al. Random leaves for some harp lessons and walks out the door. Fonzie is in the last 2 minutes of his 'illness' and Marion kisses him on the forehead. Melvin's magic doesn't work as the only thing that can beat the devil is love. Al wakes Chachi up at Arnold's. Chachi tells Richie that he is in no hurry to grow up.^[1]
