Plot[]
When Uncle Arthur attempts to conjure up a cake of the same name to help Samantha, he zaps the real Napoleon Bonaparte. While Uncle Arthur has problems with the Atmospheric Continuum that prevent him sending the famous guest back, Samantha convinces Napoleon to promise not to tell Larry and Louise Tate who he really is, and pretend to be Henri, her visiting cousin from Paris. But Larry immediately thinks Henri looks like Napoleon and wants to use him for the Zoom detergent ad campaign. When he is told that he will be seen all over the world, Napoleon agrees to participate in an advertising spot, but the adventure goes badly, and the famous general of the French army no longer refuses to be sent back to his time.
