Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
Howard persuades the Leopard Lodge to let Richie, Ralph, Potsie, and Bag play at the dance. Fonzie gets the guys tuxedos but, in return, joins them as the band's newest member. When Fonzie nearly ruins the performance by playing a rather loud bongo solo, Richie is chosen to tell him that he's out of the band.
