Samantha, her
friends, Bertha and Mary, and her Aunt Clara, all witches,
decide to change the popular conception of witches into a more
flattering image. Their opportunity arises when Darrin, an ad
man, is assigned to devise a trademark for a new type of
Halloween candy. Mr. Brinkman, the promoter of the candy,
wants the trademark to show a traditional witch. Darrin at first
agrees, but when he sees how upset Samantha becomes, he
decides to present a beautiful witch. Mr. Brinkman objects, but
Darrin refuses to yield. Consequently, he is fired. The witches
decide to practice some of their pranks on Mr. Brinkman. As a
topper, they transform him into an ugly old witch. Mr. Brinkman
finally admits that his idea of witches is wrong. He agrees to use
a glamourous witch for his trademark. Samantha wins her point,
and Darrin wins back his job.
