Sam is unhappy about leaping into stuntman Chad Stone (played by Kevin Light) on the set of a disco film, but he must prevent his brother, a fellow stuntman, from being the victim of a freak accident while steering him toward a career in music.

Note: This is the first episode in which Sam remembers that he had a brother who died in Vietnam.

Sam leaps into a woman for the first time, a stunning blonde named Samantha Stormer (played by LaReine Chabut). He must prevent his host's female roommate (Jean Sagal) from killing herself when her married boyfriend (who is also Sam's host's boss) refuses to divorce his wife. Sam also has to deal with sexual harassment from the same man and deal with Al's attraction for Sam's host.

Sam leaps into Chick Howell (played by Douglas Ibold), the Wolfman Jack type DJ of a radio station in a city where local politicians are trying to ban rock & roll. He and the station owner barricade themselves in the station and thwart several attempts by the authorities to take the station off the air.

Sam is David Basch (played by John J. Reiner), a rabbi whose brother's family is still suffering from the death of their son in a plane crash, and he must help his brother stop blaming his wife for their son's death which is destined to drive her into an affair with a sleazy author who is using her to write a book. In this episode, Al reveals that his third wife was Jewish during the bat mitzvah of the niece of Sam's host.

Sam is Timothy Mintz (played by Donald P. Bellisario), a parapsychologist working with a young widow who insists that her late husband is haunting her.
