Morticia, the Decorator

Morticia is caught up in the National Beautification Program and decides to become a decorator. Their new neighbors are the Digbys, and he’s an insurance salesman. Gomez asks him to insure their art collection for a million dollars, and invites him to visit with his wife. They’re taken aback by the Addams’s house, and Mrs. Digby explains that they have to decorate their home. Morticia offers to help, and Mrs. Digby faints. Once the insurance papers are signed, Mrs. Digby claims she can’t afford to use Morticia, thinking that will end matters. The Family feels sorry for the neighbors and order Lurch to take over a few decorating items. Fester disapproves and tries to sabotage this by substituting a genuine antique desk he loathes. Mrs. Digby thinks she’s misjudged Morticia and asks her to do the rest of the house. Morticia complies, turning the garden into a desert, the house into a jungle and the basement into a swimming pool by flooding it. Mrs. Digby faints again. Morticia likes the
