Samantha's cousin Serena turns Malcolm, a warlock, into a
mynah bird because he made a play for her concealing the fact
that he was married. Brunhilde, Malcolm's wife, thinks Samantha is the "other woman", and sends her back to the town of old
New Orleans of 1868. There Aunt Jenny finds her wandering
around, not knowing who she is. She takes her to the home of her
handsome young master, Rance. Serena tells Darrin that if he
can reach Samantha and kiss her, she will return with him to the
present. Warning that Samantha won't recognize him, Serena
sends Darrin to find Samantha. Rance falls in love with Samantha and begs her to many him. However, she refuses because she
doesn't know who she is. Darrin finally locates Samantha, but
she doesn't know him and won't allow him to kiss her. Rance
throws him out, threatening to horsewhip him if he returns. After
a few bumps and bruises, Darrin manages to climb the trellis to
Samantha's room. Rance finds him and challenges him to a duel.
His saber rips Darrin's sleeve. Samantha thinks he's wounded
and kisses him, remembering everything. Back home, Darrin
thinks it was all a dream until he feels a bruise. Realizing the duel
was real, he faints.
