Uncle Fester decides to propose to a bearded lady named Diana, so Morticia dresses up as the unwary woman's bearded mother to force him into facing how financially ill-prepared he is for responsibilities of marriage. The trick works, and Fester becomes determined to succeed. Flushed with confidence after graduating from a correspondence business school, Fester blusters his way into a company headed by Thaddeus Logan. Morticia and Gomez think all Fester's recent business talk in entirely in his head. They call for a psychiatrist who'll be arriving under an assumed identity. When Mr. Logan drops by beforehand, they mistake him for the psychiatrist, leaving poor Mr. Logan to believe Fester is having him on.

The "get rich quick" book of quack advice/offers has a photo of the Brooklyn Bridge on the cover; this is a humorous indication of how worthless the book's content is, since it is a reference to con men's "selling" someone the bridge in the once-infamous scam.
