The Addams Family: Morticia, the Breadwinner (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Morticia overhears Gomez talking on the phone to his stockbroker and falsely assumes he is broke. She gathers the other members of the family in search of ideas for earning money. She finds some stocks of a railway and decides to sell it; by a coincidence Gomez is trying to gain control of that same railway and Morticia's stocks are the only ones missing. Gomez starts a deal with Morticia through his stockbroker, without ever realizing she is the other party. He buys the stocks for a million dollars, after having taught her how to get high prices on a sale. Everything is revealed in the end, but the railway sinks in the swamp. Gomez is sad because he wanted to perform some real-size train collisions.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
