Samantha wins Darrin over and becomes queen. After her coronation, the house is invaded by animals and animated objects, witches and warlocks transformed by Ticheba for minor misdeeds. Their leader, a bird, begs Samantha to pardon them. Because Darrin has an important meeting in the morning, Samantha asks them to return after 12. Meanwhile, Mr. Rohrbach, a fatherly type, decides to check on Darrin's home life before giving his million dollar account to McMahon & Tate.

Although Samantha accidentally turns Darrin into a honking goose for a time, everything seems to have returned to normal when more animals and objects come for pardon. Exercising her royal prerogative, Samantha asks them to come back the next night and happily sets to work cleaning up the kitchen.

Samantha pops back home to find Darrin, somewhat high, philosophizing that she can't be just an ordinary housewife. He is scared silly as Mc Tavish appears, declares he has taken Samantha's suggestion and will now haunt the Stephens. Darrin's parents fly home to see Samantha. Ockie pops in to beg Mc Tavish to come back because the guests miss him. Ockie agrees to Mc Tavish's demands for central heating, air conditioning and plastic chains. Just as Samantha reassures Darrin's parents, Aunt Clara appears with a 15th century portrait of Mc Tavish.
