The episode begins on a typical, dark and stormy night at the Addams Family mansion, where eccentricity reigns supreme. Gomez, the enthusiastic and wealthy patriarch of the family, is engrossed in fencing with his vivacious and seductive wife Morticia. Meanwhile, their children Wednesday and Pugsley are playing a peculiar game of 'headless' dolls, while the undead butler, Lurch, grumbles around the mansion.
Just as the family settles into their comfortable routine, they receive an unexpected visitor: Cousin Itt. Known for his iconic appearance, with a completely obscured body hidden beneath a mass of flowing hair, Cousin Itt is always a welcome but peculiar sight in the Addams household. But this time, something is different.
As Cousin Itt stumbles into the mansion, uncharacteristically disheveled and distressed, it becomes clear that he has a problem. Communicating in his high-pitched, unintelligible language, only understood by the Addams Family, Cousin Itt tries desperately to convey his predicament. However, his hair obscures his words so much that the family can barely make out his distress.
Morticia, the epitome of poise and grace, takes charge as she attempts to decipher Cousin Itt's message. With her keen intuition and intuitive understanding of all things unusual, she pieces together the clues and determines that Cousin Itt has lost something of great importance. But what could it be?
