Plot[]
Endora tries to test out Darrin's honesty by bringing a statue of Venus to life. She takes the name Vanessa. Darrin brings her back to the villa wanting to have her work as their maid. Samantha immediately suspects that Vanessa is not a mere mortal - every man who sees her is enchanted by her appearance - and soon, Sam discovers that Vanessa is the goddess, Venus. To combat Endora's plans, Sam finds a counterpart to Vanessa's charms when she brings to life a statue of Adonis, who takes the name Alberto. Every woman who sees Alberto is enchanted by his appearance. Samantha's most powerful weapon works to perfection when Vanessa and Alberto, upon their first meeting, fall in love.
