Samantha buys a chair from an antiques dealer, unaware that it is a transfigured warlock.

In the conclusion of a two part episode, Aunt Clara is able to re-conjure up Benjamin Franklin, so that he can stand trial for grand theft for allegedly trying to steal an antique fire engine, and so that Darrin will not forgo the $1,000 he put up for bail. The district attorney is determined to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law as he believes that "Benjamin Franklin" - or whoever he is in real life - is purely a publicity stunt developed by Darrin.
