It is the week before Washington's birthday and
Tabitha's school has a "show and tell". Tabitha has a book on the
first President, but she would rather bring Darrin's collection of
Washington relics to show the classroom. Samantha tells her
that the buckle and button they have are too valuable to take to
school. Esmeralda overhears the conversation and tells Tabitha
she will zap George's buckle and button out of the picture in the
book - by mistake, she zaps out George himself. Esmeralda tries
desperately to put George back in the book, but fails. There he
is in full dress in the Stephens' house and he doesn't know what
hit him. He looks around the house in awe and can't believe such
things as the telephone and the car. Samantha goes to make
George some tea and he walks out of the house. He wanders over
to the park where a group of people are gathered around a
speaker at the fountain. When the speaker finishes, George gets
up and addresses the crowd who thinks he is some nut pretending to be George Washington. Soon a police officer comes up
and tries to stop him from speaking. George refuses and even
pulls his sword, challenging the officer. As Sam arrives, the
policeman says he will bring George to trial and let him out of
jail on $2000 bail. As Sam and Darrin are discussing what action
to take, Esmeralda comes up with the right incantation and sends
George back to the book. However, he leave his shoes behind.
Esmeralda tries to give him his shoes - but instead she zaps out
George again and this time Martha is with him.
