Finding Samantha
struggling to repair a lamp, Aunt Clara uses her uncertain
powers of magic to summon an electrician. Benjamin Franklin,
in 18th century clothes, appears. Samantha is upset by Ben's
presence and Aunt Clara's wail that she can't remember how to
undo the spell. Darrin, astonished by Pen's appearance in his
home, can't convince Larry that Ben is not his creation for an
advertising campaign for Franklin Electronics. Abner Kravitz
refuses to believe Gladys' report that the real Ben Franklin is at
the Stephens' Bowing to Samantha's pleas, Darrin agrees to
allow her and Aunt Clara to show Pen how his inventions are
being used in the city. The next morning Pen, leaving a note that
he has decided to tour the city alone to avoid causing domestic
discord, sets out. Darrin, Samantha and Aunt Clara start searching for him. At a fire house, inspecting an old fire engine, Ben
steps on the accelerator. The engine shoots out into the street and
slams into a curb. Ben is arrested and taken to court, where the judge, sure it is all a publicity stunt, charges him with grand
larceny and sets bail at a thousand dollars. Darrin puts up the
bail, knowing he will lose it if Ben doesn't appear for trial in a
month. Just then, Aunt Clara remembers the spell and Ben
vanishes. Guest cast: Fredd Wayne as Ben Franklin, Harry
Holcomb as the judge, Hollis Morrison as the reporter, Billy
Beck as the first man, Tim Rooney as the teenager, Donald
Mitchell as the policeman, Mike Road as Hawkins.
