Plot

Esmeralda zaps again George Washington, this time with his wife Martha, into the Stephenses's house. Samantha shows her modern kitchen to Martha who is impressed by so many miracles. While the president awaits his court appearance before Judge Armstrong, Larry passes by, meets the Washingtons and wants to use the "Honest George" in an advertising campaign for Whirlwind Washing Machines. But the meeting between Washington and Hector Jamison, the company's owner, leads to a confrontation, when the president expresses his displeasure with the company's misleading claims of superiority. Later, in court, Washington bases his defense on the American Constitution and the right to free speech. He is exonerated. Esmeralda sends the Washingtons back to their own time.
