Plot Summary[]

Wednesday is scolded for using Uncle Fester's blasting caps instead of her own and is grounded from playing with her pet spider Homer. She packs Marie Antoinette in her bag and plans to run away, but Pugsley convinces her to hide in his room instead.

When they discover her missing, Gomez and Morticia call the Police Department's Bureau of Missing Persons and reach Sgt. Haley. Before Sgt. Haley arrives, Fester has found Wednesday hiding in Pugsley's Room. Morticia decides to use reverse psychology on Wednesday, and she promptly runs away for real. She shows up at Haley's desk at the police station. He calls the family, who insist Wednesday isn't really missing. Fester comes to collect Wednesday. Sgt. Haley is being driven crazy by the family and runs away, unable to take any more.
