At a
witches' meeting in Salem, Samantha runs into Waldo, a handsome, young warlock who has been in love with her since
childhood. After reminding him that she is happily married,
lovesick Waldo uses his powers to conjure up a Samantha of his
own. Mirabelle, Waldo's overbearing mother, nags him for his
foolishness, but Waldo refuses to dematerialize his imaginary
Samantha. The next day, Larry goes sightseeing with Darrin in
an effort to get him to do some work during his vacation. While
Darrin is taking pictures, Larry sees Waldo and the phony
Samantha engaged in intimate conversation. He rushes Darrin
off to the restaurant where they are to meet Samantha for lunch
and shortly after she arrives, Waldo barges in and joins them. This proves too much for an already nervous Larry, so he heads
back to the hotel and Darrin takes off after him. After reprimanding Waldo for his rudeness, Samantha leaves for the hotel and
Waldo reincarnates his fantasy Samantha. Meanwhile, Darrin
learns from Larry what went on earlier and decides to go back
to the restaurant. When he gets there, he finds Waldo and his
imitation Samantha together and demands an explanation.
Waldo gets annoyed and zaps Darrin into a crow. The real
Samantha is in her room when the crow flies in and it doesn't
take long to figure out that the crow is really Darrin. That night,
at the next witches' meeting, she finds out about Waldo's tricks
and demands that he change Darrin back. He does, but they all
realize that Larry will have to be given some reasonable explanation, so they decide to call in cousin Serena. They tell Larry
that it was Serena who he saw with Waldo and Samantha's bad
day in Salem is over.
