The Munsters: The Midnight Ride of Herman Munster (1964) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Herman and Lily are back from the drive-in one evening and she realizes she has forgotten her furcoat in the cadillac; she asks Herman to go fetch it. Herman goes and he is so tired that he falls asleep inside the car. Two thieves happen to be walking by and when they see the car they decide to steal it for a bank robbery they are about to commit. They drive it to their hideaway and, still not realizing Herman is asleep on the back seat, they get off and enter the house; there they wait for their getaway driver. Herman awakes and enters the house; they think he is the driver. Meanwhile Lily calls the police to notify Herman's disappearance and both she and the police start searching for him separately; the police find a man whom they think matches Herman's description and take him to the station; that man is none other than the driver for whom the thieves were waiting. The police take him to the Munsters' house and put him in Herman's bed. When Lily is informed that Herman has been found and is already at home, she and Grandpa go back there. Meanwhile, Herman drives the thieves to the bank and they rob it. Not knowing what else to do, Herman drives the car towards an obstacle. The police come and arrest the thieves. Herman talks to Lily on the phone and she is confused because she thought that it was him under the blankets. He returns home and the police arrest the man sleeping in Herman's bed.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
