The Munsters: Rock-a-Bye Munster (1964) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Marilyn is telling Lily about the upcoming arrival of their doctor's son for a stay of some days with the Munsters. Herman and Grandpa are at the lab and they overhear that conversation through the indoors video monitoring system which Grandpa has set up. They misconstrue it as the arrival of Herman and Lily's new baby. Herman begins to surround Lily with attention and help. He goes to their doctor's house to confirm the news about Lily's pregnancy, but they formulate the question in such an ambiguous manner that they receive the confirmation of their false assumptions. When their guest arrives, he goes to the living room to play with Eddie. He has brought some toys, amongst which a small replica of Frankenstein's monster, which has an engine in it. Herman sees the little thing moving and thinks it is his baby. Eddie explains that it is a toy. Then he sees the doctor's son and collapses, as he thinks he is his new son, and doesn't like his appearance. When he comes to, all is explained to him by Lily.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
