The Addams Family: The Addams Family Meets the Undercover Man (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: The CIA is investigating the Addams because coded messages have been detected coming out of their house. Actually, it's Pugsley talking to his friends from all over the world on his Citizen's Band radio. The CIA man hires the postman as an undercover agent; he is supposed to enter their house, read their mail, and locate the source of the radio messages. He doesn't complete the job, because he gets scared and leaves. The CIA man then hires the plumber to do the same job, under the pretense of fixing their lion's water fountain. He too is scared and flees. The Addams suspect something strange is going on and phone the CIA; the call reaches the very man who is investigating them; he takes the opportunity to enter the house and see things for himself. The Addams find his behavior strange and suspect him of being an impostor; they unarm him and put him in the pillory; it's in the same room in which Pugsley makes his transmissions, so he finally finds out what they were about. The Addams check his identity with the CIA and conclude he is legitimate; everything is explained and they let him go.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
