Uncle Fester blowing a hole in the water pipes causes the Addamses' insurance company to cancel their policy and Gomez and Morticia to declare he has to start contributing to repairs. Fester interviews for a job — ironically at the same insurance company.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- Book Ends: The episode begins and ends with Uncle Fester accidentally damaging the water pipes.
- Does Not Like Spam: Uncle Fester rejects a job advertisement in the newspaper because he hates "army food."
- Heroic BSoD: Uncle Fester becomes utterly discouraged after working hard as a salesman and ending up with no sales and a lot of insults.
- Made of Iron:
- Gomez tests a theory about gradually reducing a parachute's size and winds up only slightly disheveled.
- Morticia makes toadstools with belladonna sauce and doesn't seem to think it will hurt anyone.
- Swapped Roles: Gomez, who has a massive stake in the insurance company, ends up making the company's manager the underling and the former underling his boss.
