The Treasure Map

Morticia and Gomez find a treasure map of their pirate ancestor Peg Leg Addams.

A pretty good episode. It starts with Morticia and Gomez in the attic. They look in Peg Leg's old trunk and find the map. There is also a sextant in there. "Wasn't he the naughty one?" Morticia says. They try to hire a boat to search for the treasure. The men they hire turn out to be crooks who want to steal the map from them. Funniest scene is when they try to torture Uncle Fester with the vise but find out he likes that.
