synopsis
Approximately 18 months before launching his own sitcom, Dick Van Dyke appears in this episode as Thomas Craig, who finds out that his millionaire uncle intends to leave all his money to his pet dog Casper. As disappointed as Thomas is by this news, Thomas' gold-digging girlfriend Judy (Stella Stevens) is even more so. Upon learning that Thomas will get all the money upon the death of Casper, Judy begins cooking up schemes to bump off the dog, all of which fail miserably -- and worst of all, the unwitting Casper has taken quite a liking to the mercenary Judy!
