95 EX VTEC spark wire keeps popping out

I bought a coupe on Saturday and the same day it died at a stop light. I opened up the hood. Smoke was coming from the engine and the 1st spark plug wire was almost completely out. i have a couple of questions. 1st......whats wrong with it? and second.......can it be fixed or should i just swap the engine out and get it working again.

Only easy thing I can think of is a spark plug not tight, leaking past the threads.
