Herman's Twin Is A Crook

Uncle Charlie, Herman's twin brother, complete with Tweed coat, ascot and English accent, is visiting and Herman isn't happy. He knows Charlie is a crook, but can't prove it. At least Marilyn is on his side.

It turns out Herman is right as Charlie gets a phone call from another crook, played by movie actor Mike Mazurki.. Charlie is going to try to sell a phony uranium-making machine to the Munsters. Lily and Grandpa believe in him but Charlie finds out the Munsters have a rich widow neighbor, Mrs. Cartwright, so he heads in that direction to sell the machine to her.

Overall, this is first so-so Munster episode. Every one up to now has been a strong one, so I'm not complaining.
