Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Jeannie's wicked lookalike sister (also played by Barbara Eden) has cooked up a new scheme to claim Tony (Larry Hagman) for herself. First, Jeannie II tries to convince General Schaeffer (Vinton Hayworth) that Tony lacks the mental competence to remain in the space program; then, she magically adds a great deal of weight to Tony's body (150 pounds, to be exact), "proving" that he isn't physically qualified either. To top off this deviltry, Jeannie II has carefully planted evidence pointing to the real Jeannie as the cause of Tony's current woes.
