The Munsters: Munster the Magnificent (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Eddie has chosen his father to participate in a talent show for students' relatives at school. Herman is surprised, and doesn't know what exactly he is good at. He tries singing but the results aren't good. Lily asks Grandpa to help him by using his magic and he gives Herman magical shoes which will make him dance; Herman begins to dance non-stop and makes his feet sore. Eddie talks with his teacher and she says Herman can do a magician's act. Herman tries to learn how to be a magician but goes wrong in every attempt. Lily convinces Grandpa to assist him remotely while he is on stage. All goes well until the last trick, which Herman decides to do without having told anyone beforehand: he summons Lily on stage and promises to make her disappear. She is annoyed. It's a simple trick involving a revolving wall; after Lily disappears by turning the box's wall 180º and hiding behind it, she decides to give Herman a lesson, and leaves the stage without no one noticing. Herman tries to make her reappear and obviously fails; he panics. Later he meets her at their home and all is well.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
