Aunt
Clara is minding Tabitha, who is playing with a flying saucer.
The toy flies outside and Aunt Clara zips it back, but it is a real
spaceship and she can't shrink it. Inside, spacemen Alpha and
Orvis discuss their plight. Later, Samantha tells Darrin she can't
undo Aunt Clara's spell and he threatens to use a saw. Panicky,
the spacemen ready their N guns. At dawn, Gladys Kravitz spots
the saucer and, despite Abner's scoffing, phones the Air Force.
Col. Charles Burkett and his nephew, Capt. Tugwell feel Gladys
is a nut but come to check. Darrin is relieved when they accept
his story about promoting a new toy but later screams for
Samantha when he sees Alpha and Orvis. Samantha pops into
the saucer and talks family with the spacemen, explaining that
Aunt Clara is a witch, and offers them breakfast. Gladys and
Tugwell spot the spacemen. She tries to stop them but Alpha
sends her into a happy trance. Tugwell finds Gladys picking
flowers, denying everything. Aunt Clara zaps the spacemen
back as Burkett arrives. Tugwell can't produce his floppy-eared
men. Gladys hands him a tulip, scolding him not to make fun of
actors. Later, Darrin muses he'd like an N gun to use on his
mother-in-law.
