Archie has made a discovery that will change the world forever. A toy radio. Archie’s brother Billy, is deaf. So, Archie duct tapes the radio to his head, to help him explore a world full of sound. Sophie is Archie’s girlfriend. Archie thinks he is in love with Sophie, but Sophie is not sure they know what love is.

Yet they don’t mention that Scott Bakula is in the shot as well? Oh Boy!
