Plot[]
A chimpanzee has followed Samantha and Tabitha from their outing at the park. With the chimp unable to tell her where he lives, Samantha turns him into a human. However "Harry" refuses to reveal who his owner is. Right on cue, Larry shows up with Darrin's newest client, Evelyn Tucker of Brawn Cologne, and her assistant, Bobby Flynn, who are just looking for the perfect masculine spokesmodel. They see Harry and, pushed a little by Endora, believe that he will be the perfect one. Harry accepts the deal and is initially thrilled to live like a human, but after a day's work, he wants to be a chimp again. Samantha must find a way to save the account and get Harry fired in order to return him to his owner.
