Darrin
discovers that Samantha has been entertaining a guest each
morning after he leaves for work. The guest is ten year old
Marshall Bums. Marshall's mother is a widow, whose overprotectiveness has robbed Marshall of all self-confidence. Darrin
tells Samantha she has no right to interfere with Mrs. Burns'
upbringing of her son. Despite Marshall's belief that he is no
good at anything, Samantha takes him to a Junior League ball
game. Marshall has never been able to make the team. Floyd
Kravitz, nephew of Gladys Kravitz, is the star player. With a
little witchery on Samantha's part, Marshall becomes a triple
threat. When his mother, fearful that he may be injured, forbids
him to play, Marshall runs away from home. Samantha and
Darrin drive Mrs. Burns to the ballfield. There, Marshall, in his
own right, has continued to star. However, when Marshall gets
into a tight spot, Darrin forbids Samantha from interfering.
Marshall makes it on his own. Proud of her son, Mrs. Burns is
not unhappy when Coach Gribben suggest that he visit the Burns
home to give Marshall some extra coaching.
