Samantha
finds that a neighborhood playground, leased to the city for $1
a year, is to be razed for a supermarket. Darrin encourages
Samantha to organize a protest. When a bulldozer bears down
on the mothers and children, Samantha twitches the vehicle and
its driver out of action. Harlan Mossler, grandson of the park's
donor, plans to jail the women if they interfere again. At the
office, Larry Tate congratulates Darrin on a supermarket presentation. Shocked to learn Mossler, his client, owns the park
land. Darrin tries to talk Samantha out of further protests. Larry
confronts Darrin with newspaper headlines and assures Mossler
that Darrin will order Samantha to back down. However, Darrin
takes Samantha's part and rushes to give her moral support.
After Mossler declares Darrin's job is at stake, Samantha
decides to withdraw. However, Darrin insists she keep up the
fight, even after Larry fires him. Inquiring what Col. Mossler
would do if he knew the park was being closed, Samantha
twitches his statue to life. Col. Mossler orders his grandson to
put the shopping center somewhere else. Shaken, Harlan dedicates the park to the children and gives Darrin all the Mossler
advertising accounts. Samantha herself is confused when the
statue breaks into a wide smile.
