Uncle Fester thinks his conjuring mishap has turned Pugsley into a chimpanzee.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- Correlation/Causation Gag: Uncle Fester thinks he has turned Pugsley into a chimpanzee, unaware that the explosion from his conjuring trick knocked Pugsley into a secret room, where he became trapped, and that the chimp walked over to where Pugsley was standing a moment ago. The chimp, which had escaped from an organ grinder, is wearing a T-shirt identical to Pugsley's.
- Fishing for Sole: At the beginning of the episode, Gomez is fishing in the family's fish tank. He hooks something, which turns out to be a shoe.Gomez: Strangest fish I ever saw!
Morticia: Darling, it's Mama's dress shoe.
Gomez: Ah, so it is. Ah, still, it's the biggest thing I ever caught. Two pounds if it's an ounce. An indoor record! - Mistaken for Transformed: The family believes Pugsley has turned into a chimpanzee and try to find a way to change him back.Morticia: No, I absolutely refuse to believe that that... Gomez? Look. He has that same lovely low brow as... you-know-who.
Gomez: Yeah, and that same fine prehistoric jawline.
Chimpanzee: Oo, oo, oo, oo!
Morticia: Oh, it is Pugsley! I know that voice anywhere.
