Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGidget says that her custom surf board cost her dad $110. In 2019 dollars that would be $900!
- GoofsCasey, the motorcycle cop, played by Arthur Adams, tells Gidget that the theft of her surfboard is grand theft, a legal description of a theft that meets a certain monetary threshold. In California, in 1966, when this episode originally aired, grand theft occurred when the value of the item was more than $200. Gidget claims her board was worth $110, which would put it below the threshold, thus making the theft petty instead of grand.

Gidget's Voodoo Hex
Gidget's (Sally Field) brand new, custom built surfboard has been stolen from her car. She finds it with a "for sale" sign on it beside the camper of voodoo fortune teller Zangara (Jeanne Gerson). Once she finds her name on it, she and Larue (Lynette Winter) take it and Zangara puts an evil hex on Gidget. She then begins finding herself "skidding around on the world's largest banana peel." After talking with her father Professor Lawrence (Don Porter), Gidget reads his voodoo anthropology book and tries to break the spell to no avail. She now thinks that maybe she's not cursed, but just going crazy. She goes to her sister Anne (Better Conner) and psychology student brother-in-law John (Peter Dual) where a comical ruckus ensues. It now seems that Gidget's father is the only one willing to be around her, and seeing her afraid to do anything leads him to attempt a simple, impactful solution.
