Tabitha and Adam are
watching Punch and Judy on TV one day when Tabitha gets
very upset that Punch keeps hitting Judy. Not only does she
think it is unfair to Judy, but Adam imitates Punch and starts
hitting her. Using her witchcraft, Tabitha pops onto the screen
and begins to lecture Punch - much to the amazement of Darrin,
who is watching in his office (he has sold the show to the
sponsors) and the crew in the TV studio. Darrin calls Samantha
and tells her to get Tabitha off the screen. Meanwhile, Larry
enters Darrin's office and tells him that the sponsor loved the
little girl and wants her to be on the show. Later that day, Larry
brings Lester Silverton, president of Silverton Toy Co., over to
Darrin's house and when Tabitha comes in to say good night,
Silverton recognizes her. He wants her to show up at the studio
the next morning. Darrin and Samantha are against this and Sam
does a little witchcraft on the Silvertons. She makes sure Mrs.
Silverton will bring her daughter, Robin - a professional young
actress - to the studio to be on hand just in case something goes
wrong. At the studio, Tabitha is tired of all the attention she is
getting and she tells Sam she wants to play instead. Sam
suggests that she forget some of her lines - she does this just as
Silverton comes in. When Mrs. Silverton and Robin appear,
Sam induces Lester to tell Robin she can have the part.
