Plot[]
Endora is very bitter about all the luxuries Samantha has given up in her life by marrying the pathetic Darrin who just gives her a ridiculous trinket of a gift for the sixth anniversary of their first date. Add to that Sam sewing a dress for Tabitha from scratch and that is more than Endora can handle. She then decides to create "The Fuzz", a doll that instantly makes all mortals feel good in order to buy it. An eccentric and strange Professor MacAllister, who brings the doll to the offices of McMann & Tate, convinces Darrin to market the doll whose success makes him a rich man overnight. Darrin and Larry, who insisted on partnering with his employee, are soon drawn into a spending spree due to the large sums of money they hope to make from the doll's colossal sales. However, Samantha, who thinks that the doll, whose charm she does not feel at all, is not a sensible way to get rich, strongly suspects that her mother is behind this crazy race for money and asks her to cancel the magical charm. Instantly, no one wants the doll anymore and everyone goes back to normal life.
