Before meeting Roy Chappel, a prospective client, at the
country club, Samantha tells Darrin that her new baby sitter, Elspeth is a witch who was once her nanny. Darrin is upset until
Endora arrives and threatens to hex him for displacing her as a
baby sitter. Elspeth, a jolly cockney, stops her and wins Darrin
over. At the club, Larry warns that Chappel, a self-made man,
wants an aggressive executive to handle his account. Endora
arrives with Lord Montdrako, an ancient British warlock,
Elspeth's former employer. Furious that Darrin has stolen
Elspeth, Montdrako gestures at him. Larry has trouble explaining why his hard-driving executive has a rose in his teeth. At
home, the Stephens scold Elspeth for not telling them she
worked for Lord Montdrako. Elspeth loves the Stephens and
plans to stay on with them. At the office, Larry orders Darrin to
show his tough side. Again Lord Montdrako gestures and Darrin
finds himself in a Lord Fauntleroy suit. When Elspeth refuses to
go home with Montdrako, he traps Darrin inside a mirror.
Samantha finds that Lord Montdrako is a lonely old man, who
needs Elspeth for company. Using magic, Samantha turns
Castle Montdrako into a tourist attraction, full of ghostly thrills.
Excited by his new business, Montdrako decides he doesn't
need Elspeth and frees Darrin from the mirror. Elspeth convinces Chappel that Darrin is a great individualist and he gives
Larry his account. Elspeth vanishes as Samantha kisses Darrin.
