The Munsters: All-Star Munster (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Marilyn is desperate because she is being threatened with expulsion from the university due to lack of payment. Apparently, Lily forgot to pay last month's tuition. Herman goes down to the university to solve the matter. He gets lost in the campus and asks for directions in the sports department. By a coincidence, they are expecting a basketball player named Moose whose description matches Herman's appearance. They think he is Moose, and tell him to play a little for them to see. Herman excels with the ball and is tricked into signing a contract there and then. When he asks about the tuition matter, he is told he will not have any problem in that area, even though he never mentions Marilyn's name. Meanwhile, the real Moose arrives with his father and, seeing no one at the bus station to receive him, heads to the university campus. He is dismissed because now that they have Herman they no longer need him. Back at the Munsters', Herman is very excited about his blossoming sportsman career, but is severely repproached by Grandpa and Lily for not having solved Marilyn's problem. They hear the doorbell and it's Moose and his father who came to complain to Herman for having taken his place. They all urge Herman to go to the university campus to straighten things up. It is done, and Moose gets back his position as a player; he begins dating Marilyn, and when he comes to pick her, they all step outside to take a peek and are astonished by the expensive car he is driving; he is not the struggling poor student they thought he was.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
