Archie was a streetsweeper during World War Two. When fellow sweeper Big Joe gets up to mischief and no good, Archie puts on a costume (thus inspiring the description "a nut who goes around in pyjamas") to stop Big Joe; Archie's hero is Captain America, see, and so he tries to be Cap, down to a very Captain America-like costume, including what may be an altered yamulke.
