Samantha and Darrin are vacationing in Europe. At the moment they are in London and on a sightseeing
tour of the Tower of London. As the guide leads the tour through
the corridors of the Tower, a portrait of a 16th century nobleman
on horseback attracts Samantha's attention. Actually, the reason for the attraction is the fact that the figure of the nobleman
is beckoning to Samantha! He tells Samantha that a hateful
witch has placed a curse on him, dooming him to remain in the
portrait for a thousand years. Since she is the first witch to
happen by in over 400 years, he would like her to release him
from the portrait. Samantha questions him a bit about what he
had done to deserve such a stiff curse. It seems at the time of
Henry VIII's reign, he had fallen in love with a witch and asked
her to marry him, forgetting for the moment that he was already
married! Samantha sympathizes with him and feels that he has
served enough time. She zaps him out of the portrait. Suddenly,
amid rumbles of thunder, Malvina the Terrible appears. She is
quite angry at Samantha for reversing the curse she had put on
the nobleman. To teach Samantha not to meddle, Malvina zaps
Samantha back to Henry VIII's court. Samantha arrives, having
no recollection of who she is or why she is there. She happens
upon a group of players who are about to perform before the
king. She joins the group and quickly catches the roving eye of
Henry VIII. Meanwhile, Darrin has called Endora for help. She
arrives and Darrin tells her what has happened. To rescue
Samantha, Darrin must return to the 16th century and win
Samantha with a kiss - this will be complicated by the fact that
Samantha has no idea who Darrin is. As the story closes, we
leave Samantha literally in Henry's clutches and Darrin tentatively approaching the castle.
