And so
Samantha and Darrin are followed back to their motel by the
bedwarmer! There is a knock at the door - it is Miss Ferndale and
two policemen. Samantha hides the bedwarmer in the closet and
just as she and Darrin have almost convinced the police that they
know nothing about stolen bedwarmer, out it falls from the
closet. Darrin is arrested and the evidence, after some strange
Incidents, is taken. Darrin is put in jail, the evidence is locked
away and Samantha proceeds to try and solve the mystery.
Samantha goes to the Witches' Convention grounds and has
Endora incant up the witch who originally put the curse on the
bedwarmer, as she is the only one who can remove the curse.
The witch is none other than Serena. The bedwarmer is actually
an amorous warlock named Newton who, way back in old
Salem days, kept bugging Serena to marry him. The reason he's
been following Samantha is that he thinks she is Serena. Since
Serena can't remember back three hundred years to the spell she
used to change Newton into a bedwarmer, she is sent back in
time to relive the incident. She finally returns with the spell.
Samantha goes to the jail, zaps the desk sergeant into a deep
sleep and returns the bedwarmer to Newton the warlock. When
Darrin's case is finally brought to court there is no evidence so
Darrin can't be held for stealing the bedwarmer. When the
arresting officers are brought forward, Samantha twitches a
spell on them so they will tell the judge exactly what happened
when they took the evidence from the motel. The judge listens
to the strange tale and dismisses the case. Miss Ferndale's loud
protest are suddenly quieted a bit by amorous Newton, who has
been admiring her for years.
