Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Darrin (Dick York) are thrilled to find out that their first child is on the way. Everyone is delighted with the news, especially the parents-to-be but they get somewhat distracted when Aunt Clara, (Marion Lorne)trying to be her usual delightfully helpful self, accidents uses a spell that turns Darrin into a chimpanzee.
Naturally, the chimps is spotted by Gladys Kravitz (Alice Pearce) and poor Darrin is hauled off to the city zoo and put in a cage with several other primates.
Normality, or at least relative normality, is restored when Samantha, with some assistance from her delightfully scatter-brained Aunt, is able to restore Darrin to his human self and the celebration of the good news can continue.
A really great episode to start off the second season, made even more enjoyable by the usual hilarious antics of Marion Lorne in her recurring role as Aunt Clara.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Sam's unseen obstetrician is Dr. Anton, who would later deliver Adam in season six. Edit
- A mirror hangs on the wall where the extra hall closet was in later episodes of the show. Edit
- Normally a spell can be nullified only by the person who initially cast the spell. In this episode it became possible for Samantha to undo Aunt Clara's spell and turn the chimp back to Darrin, because she learned the exact words of Clara's spell. After watching Aunt Clara only manage to turn Darrin from a chimp into a seal, Samantha is able to then turn Darrin directly into a human. Edit
