"The Case of My Vanishing Master" was such a good idea that it's spread over two parts, Larry Hagman doing double duty as Major Nelson and his lookalike imposter. Dr. Bellows informs Tony that there's a security leak at NASA, particularly with his modification plan of the new Apollo 12 capsule, whisking him off to a top secret location to finish before he has a chance to tell Jeannie. Once out of earshot, the doctor opens another door and Major Nelson's double steps out, intelligence agent Rodney Pomfret, looking exactly like Tony with only a change in voice, an intentional plant by Dr. Bellows. Forced to prepare a gourmet meal for Major Healey, Pomfret arrives at the Nelson residence and meets Jeannie, first assuming that she's the maid, then treating her as Roger's girlfriend, wrong on both counts. Inquiring how they first met, Pomfret inadvertently proposes to Tony's genie, meeting the Arabian Reverend (Benny Rubin) that married her parents 5000 years before. Pomfret reports hallucinations to Dr. Bellows, who hopes to solve the riddle of Major Nelson, with Roger now aware that they're dealing with a phony Tony.

For slap stick comedy, this was oscar worthy. Larry hagman does his best acting.
