On Darrin's
birthday, Maurice drives in majestically through the wall and
gives Darrin a multipurpose lighter. Learning it contains magic,
Darrin refuses it. Telling Samantha he's a jackass, Maurice
turns him into a mule and vanishes in a puff of smoke. Gladys
sees the mule but her husband stays with his crossword puzzle.
When Samantha admits there's a mule in her kitchen, Gladys,
protesting it is unsanitary, decides to call the authorities. Samantha appeals to her mother but Endora insists its strictly
Maurice's affair. She zaps them to Paris where Maurice is
entertaining Yvette and Angelique. He coldly suggests Darrin
pull a wagon, but, relenting, snaps them back to the Stephens'
house. Finding that Darrin has been removed to the animal
shelter, Samantha retrieves him and demands that Maurice
change him back. Failing, Maurice decides mutual concentration will help. Gladys sees Maurice playing chess with the mule.
Deciding to recreate the whole event, Maurice reverses everything. The mule disappears and Darrin is back. Later, Abner
asks about a sanitarium for Gladys who reported the chess-playing mule. Rising to the challenge, Maurice turns himself
into a mule to play chess with Abner.
