Harriet,
Abner's sister, is keeping house for him while Gladys is away.
She finds that Gladys' stories of Samantha's unusual activities
are true. Meanwhile, Darrin is winding up a deal to handle
advertising for the Robbins Baby Food company. Mr. Robbins,
the president, agrees with his assistant, George Barkley, that the
final decision should be deferred. Believing that anyone working on their account should be completely wholesome, Barkley,
on his own, has hired Charlie Leach, a private detective, to
shadow Darrin. On a report that Darrin has an exemplary
character, Barkley orders Leach to investigate Samantha. Leach
is dubious of Harriet's report on Samantha. When he investigates further, a series of wild events occur as Samantha parries
his snooping. Charlie finally finds himself on a ledge forty
stories up. After Leach's implausible story, Barkley fires him.
Charmaine, Leach's wife, has long complained of their meager
existence. Hearing about Samantha, she suggests that Charlie
get Samantha to provide them with the luxuries they have been
missing. Leach then tells Samantha that unless she makes him
wealthy - he will expose her as a witch.
