Samantha and Darrin appear to be an ideally matched couple. Very much in love, they decide to marry. Darrin doesn't know that Samantha, is, of all things, a witch. On their wedding night, Samantha's mother, Endora, a witch, of course, visits her daughter. Regretting that her daughter has married a mortal, she is bent on breaking up the marriage. After pleading with her mother not to interfere, Samantha decides to tell her husband that he has unknowingly married a witch. To convince Darrin of her magic powers, Samantha performs a series of tricks. Darrin makes her promise never to practice her witchcraft again. Sheila, a former girl friend of Darrin's, invites the newlyweds to a dinner party. She makes every effort to embarrass Samantha before the guests. After enduring Sheila's snubs and insults, Samantha cannot resist evening the score. She employs her extraordinary powers to humiliate Sheila. Later, at home, Darrin rebukes his wife, but admits Sheila deserved the tricks played on her.

After Endora promises to curb her witchery for the evening, Samantha arranges a dinner for Darrin's parents and her mother to meet. Darrin is fearful of the results. Father Stephens has just retired and feels lost and insecure. Endora, being utterly charming, as she has promised Samantha, plays up to Father. Father once more feels life is worth living, but Mother Stephens becomes jealous. Before Mother is through, she is sure Endora wants to take Father from her. She asks Darrin for the name of a divorce lawyer. Darrin and Samantha work feverishly to save the marriage. Despite their efforts, Mother takes a train to Arizona and Father boards a plane on the first step of a world trip. Samantha asks Endora's help. Using her witchcraft, Endora brings both plane and train to Angel Falls, where Father had proposed to Mother years before. In the romantic setting, both realize they are much younger than they thought.

Soon after Dr. Koblin reports that Tabitha is a perfectly normal baby, Samantha sees a toy pony floating in the air to Tabitha when she wiggles her fingers, and realizes that the baby has inherited her witchcraft. Endora is delighted, but Samantha worries how to break the news to Darrin. Larry Tate brings Mark Robbins, a client, to the Stephens home to dis-cuss a new image for his product - truck transmissions.

Endora, hoping to break up her daughter's marriage, superimposes Samantha's face on a print entitled "Maid of Salem:" the print is dated 1690. Darrin buys the print and then begins to worry about the difference between Samantha's age and his own. With Endora planting seeds of doubt at every turn, Darrin visualizes himself as a doddering old man, while Samantha retains her youthful appearance. Everyone, including Larry Tate and the doctor from whom Darrin seeks advice, fails to realize what is troubling him. Then, in a nearby park, Darrin overhears two squirrels to which Endora has given voice talk about their differences in age. Endora finally admits to Samantha that she can age along with Darrin. Samantha, after telling Darrin she never posed for the picture, tells him that her mother is to blame for their problem. She assures him that they will grow old together, but being in love will never note the difference. As insurance, Samantha uses witchcraft to make the "Maid of Salem" disappear.
