The Addams Family: Gomez, the Politician (1964) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Election day is approaching, and the Addams are fully engaged in their support to one of the candidates for City Counselor. They soon switch to another candidate though, who has promised to illuminate the streets and dry the swamps; although the Addams are for neither of those things, they are confident in the insincerity of every politician, and so are sure none of his promises will be honored. Their candidate is eager to collect a fat check from them, but the actual involvement of the Addams in the campaign is undesirable; eventually, he comes to consider them as more of a liability than an asset. In fact, the Addams family's ancestors have a history of always backing losing candidates; their support became known as 'the kiss of death'.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
