The Munsters: Don't Bank on Herman (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Marilyn is feeling ill and Lily asks Herman to cash a check at the bank for her. There's been a series of robberies made by thieves who wear Halloween masks, and when Herman and Grandpa arrive at the bank, everyone thinks they are the robbers, and the cashier gives him all the money readily available to her; Herman thinks it's Lily's money, and leaves. When he gets home and counts the money he notices it's a lot; Lily tells him that it is not her money and that he must go back to the bank and return it. At night Herman dreams he is extremely rich, and wakes Lily up with his mumbling; she scolds him. He can't sleep after that and decides to go right away to the bank and return the money; he takes Grandpa with him. Grandpa short-circuits the alarm with his bare fingers, and they go in. Herman sets the clock which programs the safe opening to that moment, and they can get in it. Meanwhile, the two robbers come to rob the bank and find it very easy to get in, because Grandpa had turned the alarm off. Herman and Grandpa inadvertently lock themselves up inside the safe, and press the button to call the police. The robbers blow the safe's door open, and Herman and Grandpa escape. The robbers pass out at the sight of them. The police arrive and find the robbers unconscious; Herman and Grandpa are already gone by then.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
