Miss Melinda Carver is a door-to-door cosmetics saleslady. Uncle Fester decides it's time for him to find a mate. Through a matrimonial column in the newspaper, he conducts a search and mistakes Miss Carver for someone replying to his ad. Fester doesn't think she's his type, especially when she offers him a free sample or will deal for cash. Eventually Miss Carver can't take anymore and flees. Fester thinks he's had a narrow escape from marrying a lunatic and swears off marriage.
