When Darrin
continues to be openly hostile to the witchy whims of
Samantha's cousin, Serena, the spiteful "cousin" decides to get
even with Sam's mortal-in-law. She waits until Samantha takes
Tabitha and Adam with her on Saturday morning to do the
weekly shopping. With Darrin unable to defend himself, she
twitches a spell that makes him change instantly into an ape. The
situation is complicated when the Stephens' next door neighbors, Gladys and Abner, spot the monstrous mammal in the
house. Officers Mitchell and Hyams prove to be no better than
the Keystone cops in the way that they go about ape hunting.
Alex and Pete, two shyster animal trainers, are hired to bring the
ape, alias Darrin Stephens, back into captivity. The two trainers
have an unexpected 400 Ib. surprise for Darrin - a female ape to
keep him warm. Darrin, still in his hairy state, longs for Samantha who zaps him out just in time to save him from his blind date.
