Storyline

Alan teases Rigsby by telling him that Philip has ten wives and can work black magic. Put to the test by Rigsby, Philip bangs a tribal spear on the floor in ritualistic fashion, which results in Ruth, believing it to be a sign that Philip wants her body, running into the room in her nightie. Soon afterwards Rigsby falls down on the stairs - another apparent result of magic. Alan also bangs the spear on the floor and again Ruth comes in but when Rigsby tries it there are answering knocks, courtesy of Philip and Alan, who are hiding, and are amused by Rigsby's reaction of panic before they reveal themselves.
