Expecting the Tates for dinner, Samantha bakes a cake but her Uncle
Arthur ruins it by popping up in the oven. He tries to produce a
Napoleon for dessert. Instead, his magic goes awry and the
Emperor himself appears. Uncle Arthur can't reverse the spell
and Napoleon agrees to pose as Samantha's Cousin Henri from
Paris. Napoleon is attracted to Louise and she responds to his
continental manner. Larry, realizing that "Cousin Henri" resembles Napoleon, asks him to appear in a TV commercial.
Hearing it will make him world famous, Napoleon sees it as a
second chance against England. He silences Samantha's protests by threatening to expose her as witch. Uncle Arthur pops
up at the TV studio, making a TV technician swear off liquor.
Napoleon, nervous, muffs the commercial and Mr. Bradley, the
sponsor, feels he's wrong for the part. When Napoleon insist she's the emperor, Bradley thinks everybody needs a psychiatrist. He threatens to take his account elsewhere and Larry holds
Darrin responsible. At home, defeated again, Napoleon wants to
leave but Uncle Arthur can't reverse the spell. Then Samantha
accidentally utters the right words and the emperor disappears
in a puff of smoke. Later, Mr. Bradley approves Darrin's new
commercial. Then Uncle Arthur pops up in the oven again.
