Herman buys some vacation land without telling the rest of the family. He buys it from 2 con artists, however the Munsters love the Ghost Town and won't sell when the con men try to buy the land back to make more money from a potential investor in the complete parcel of land.

Lilly practically forces Herman to go into work and demand a raise from MR. Gateman. Herman is promptly fired and is afraid to tell Lily that he lost his job. He tries several jobs but nothing seems to work out for him. It is one disaster after another.
