The CBS television program "The Munsters" is a comedy about a family of five people living in an old house in the fictional city of Mockingbird Heights. Four of the residents are based on the Universal Pictures monster films of the 1930's and 1940's. Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne) is based on Frankensteins's Monster. Grandpa (Al Lewis) is based on Bela Lugosi's Dracula. Eddie Munster (Butch Patrick), a boy, is loosely based on the Wolfman. Lily Munster (Yvonne De Carlo) is based on Dracula's Daughter and the Bride of Frankenstein. Marilyn Munster (Pat Priest) is the "normal" person. This episode is titled "The Treasure of Mockingbird Heights" and was first broadcast on December 23, 1965. Herman and Grandpa are searching the basement and find a treasure map which leads them to the buried treasure of the seventeenth century pirate Henry Morgan. The two men argue and fight over the treasure until Lily provides a solution. A classical pirate treasure chest is shown along with it's contents of jewels and coins. The coins are prop coins, of course.

The electrical power goes out and Herman and Grandpa look in the basement for a fuse box. Lily asks: "I hope they find it in time to watch TV. They're having one of Grandpa's favorite operations on Dr. Kildare tonight."

They find an inscription on a wall which reads: "Morgan's treasure in this valley look behind the noble sally" and then find a map which they examine.

Herman and Grandpa become excited and forget about the fuse box. They look up Captain Morgan in an old book and find that he and his pirates visited the area in 1672. They go outside and locate a tree on the map.

The women are happy that the two men are getting along.

The men find a treasure chest and Herman brings it up.

The men open the chest and find...

The treasure consists of old pots, plates, and coins. The men bring the chest into the basement.

Herman and Grandpa start arguing over who legally owns the treasure. They also keep going into the basement to "guard" the chest.

He sees a pile of old coins.

The coins are some standard prop coins.

The men go upstairs and continue the argument. Lily tells the men that she and Marilyn are tired of them arguing and did something about the treasure.

"Marilyn and I took it downtown and gave it to the rescue mission. The nice man there said that
there was enough treasure to furnish turkey dinners for the next 300 years."
