Note: The signature head-nod-and-blink with arms crossed in an uplifted pose indicates that Jeannie is invoking magic. (In some cases she leaves her arms unmoved.) For this article, we use the term "blink" to denote that her literal eye blink is associated with an act of magic.
After orbiting the Earth in Stardust One, Air Force captain and astronaut Tony Nelson crash lands on a remote island in the South Pacific. As he's building an "SOS" message in the sand, a mysterious bottle keeps placing itself in the stranded astronaut's path. Curious, Captain Nelson opens the bottle and burnishes the outside whereupon a thick column of smoke streams out. A beautiful genie appears who pledges her service to him, helps him get rescued and then follows him back to Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Philip Ober appears as General Wingard Stone, the father of Tony's fiance Melissa (Karen Sharpe). Richard Reeves as 1st Garbage Man. Joe Higgins as 2nd Garbage Man. Don Dubbins as Lt. Pete Conway, USNR.
Desert survival takes a luxurious turn when Jeannie follows Tony (Captain Nelson) and Captain Roger Healey (Tony's friend and NASA partner) on a desert survival mission, and supplies Tony with food, shelter and transportation, which he must hide from Roger. After Tony injures his ankle, he stays behind as Roger goes on. After the mission, Roger questions Tony's easy time while he himself languished in the desert heat.
When Tony's prospective father-in-law accepts an ambassadorship, he offers Tony a prestigious position, but Tony is set on staying an astronaut and turns down the offer. His fiance, Melissa, urges him to accept the position and move up their wedding date. When Melissa's old friend Grover Caldwell (John Hudson) enters the picture, she transfers her interest to him, believing that Tony lacks ambition and has changed from the man she knew. But Tony's had second thoughts too and hides his relief when Melissa tells him of her plan to marry Grover.
Jeannie misses Tony because he's working long hours, so she proposes that she become his secretary. Tony, seeing an opportunity to get Jeannie out of his hair for a while, tells her that she would be required to join the Air Force first. So Jeannie agrees to go through WAF training, after which Major Margaret Fiefield (Jane Dulo) tries her in various departments but she's disastrous at each.
Jeannie follows Tony on a yacht trip with P.J. Ferguson (David Brian), an aerospace executive, and his daughter Nina (Sharon Farrell) after Nina, who has designs on Tony, presses her father to hire him away from NASA. When Tony orders Jeannie to go home and she obeys with a magic blink, the Fergusons, who'd already caught a glimpse of them talking, conclude from her sudden disappearance that Tony has murdered her.
Tony is scheduled to be the first American to walk in space, but Dr. Bellows, the base psychiatrist and Tony's superior officer, orders him to undergo some medical tests first. Jeannie thinks the mission is too dangerous so tries to get Tony grounded by sabotaging the tests from her hiding place in his jacket pocket. Tony gets angry when he realizes what's happened so Jeannie undoes her work by getting Dr. Bellows to think he's temporarily lost his marbles and can't trust his own findings.
Jeannie becomes enthralled by a magazine article that explains how to be a modern, emancipated American woman. She hopes to impress Tony by following the lessons in the article, but trying to mold her magic and personality into a figure of modern womanhood produces mixed results.
Tony is ordered to Hollywood to act as technical director for a film about astronauts. The film is to star the famous screen actress, Rita Mitchell (Nancy Kovack), of whom Jeannie quickly becomes jealous when she observes the actress's attentions to Tony. Jeannie fashions herself as a movie star to compete with the Hollywood star, but sadly soon discovers that genies do not show up on film.
Tony's littlest fan, his eight-year-old neighbor Custer (Bill Mumy), sees some of Jeannie's magic and reports it to his parents, Major Jamison (Herb Voland) and Mrs. Wendy Jamison (Grace Albertson). They pay Tony a visit to get an explanation, but he manages to satisfy them. Fed up with their son's fabrications, the Jamisons seek psychiatric help from Dr. Bellows, who's keen to hear details of what Custer has seen. Dr. Bellows, thinking he will finally find out what Tony's game is, gets Custer to continue to spy on Tony. When Custer goes missing, Tony suspects Jeannie is responsible.
Jeannie gets jealous when one of Tony's ex-girlfriends, Diane (Elizabeth MacRae), comes to town and wants a date with him. When Jeannie accidentally bumps into Roger, she agrees to a date with him, hoping to get Tony's attention. Now jealousy is spreading as Tony uses his date with Diane to make sure Jeannie doesn't get into trouble with Roger. Roger, who fancies himself a lady's man, tries to put the moves on Jeannie but she blinks up defenses and runs off before he gets anywhere.
Upon hearing that Dr. Bellows believes married men make more stable astronauts than bachelors do, Jeannie starts making wedding preparations. When Tony tells her it's not to be, she blinks up a version of him that's romantic and attentive to her. Dr. Bellows sees Jeannie with attentive Tony, who tells the Dr. that the two are about to be married. At the wedding, Tony pretends to be the romantic doppelgnger and Jeannie calls it off.
Jeannie's powers are failing because it is "The Day of the Ram," on which every genie and her master must make a pilgrimage to Mecca to repeat the "sacred words" or the genie will lose her powers and disappear forever. Once there, they discover they must break into the First National Bank of Mecca in order to stand in the correct spot to recite the words, and are in danger of being captured by police before Tony can perform the incantation.
Roger crosses Dr. Bellows by keeping his niece (Judy Carne) out too late on a date, and in retribution, Dr. Bellows prepares to send Roger away for a month. Roger begs Tony to let Jeannie find a genie for him, but Tony declines. As he prepares for his banishment, Roger discovers two stage magicians illicitly taking up residence in his apartment and concludes Jeannie and Tony have granted his wish for his own genie after all.
Roger needs an appendectomy. After Tony tells Jeannie of his childhood dream to be a surgeon, she blinks him into a surgeon's getup in Roger's operating room, but before long Dr. Bellows begins to suspect that Tony is posing as the doctor. Jeannie plants herself in the hospital as a nurse, and as Dr. Bellows brings a skeptical Gen. Peterson to the operating room to expose Tony, she helps him escape the unmasking.
Tony feels that Jeannie's magic is making him lazy at home so he makes her promise to say "Tough luck, Charlie" if he asks her for help. She agrees and takes an oath so that she can no longer help her master. The promise is ill-timed as Tony immediately is taken captive by deadly Chinese spies who are determined to get the plans for a top-secret project. Jeannie tells Roger what's afoot, who then tells Dr. Bellows. Dr. Bellows doesn't believe the story but plays along. Jeannie saves Tony by having Roger temporarily be her master.
Tony and Roger are promoted to the rank of major. They're both sent on Air Force business to the Reno Nevada area, but Tony forbids Jeannie to go along. Seeing an opportunity to exploit Jeannie's powers to win big at gambling, Roger smuggles her in his luggage. At first, Jeannie helps Tony win big on a slot machine. Later, after blinking a long series of winning dice throws at the craps table, Jeannie's unfamiliarity with dice leads her to blink up impossible outcomes. The casino pit bosses see the shenanigans and haul Tony and Roger off.
When Jeannie gives her Master a crack golf swing, General Peterson sees it and is so impressed that he recruits Tony as his partner for a game against a longtime rival. Tony has no skill at the game, but believes in true sportsmanship and forbids Jeannie to help. After the first disastrous holes in the rival game, Roger retrieves Jeannie, who digs Tony out of his very deep hole.
Tony is unimpressed by Roger's description of Madame Zolta, a self-proclaimed clairvoyant fortune teller who has gained Roger's confidence. Tony pretends to be skeptical when he meets her, but then to be taken in. Upon leaving the meeting, he agrees to attend a seance the Madame arranges. In the mean time Tony easily proves to Roger that the Madame is a phony. At the seance, Jeannie helps Tony expose her con.
Jeannie is eager for Tony's painting to do well at a charity auction, so turns his attempt at a Rembrandt copy into the real thing. Recognizing its authenticity, two art critics, Dr. Van Weesen (Jonathan Hole) and Dean Geller (Booth Colman), try to outbid each other for Tony's painting. After consulting with the experts, Dr. Bellows explains to Tony how he must be guilty of either conspiracy or theft, not to mention grand larceny. He then flies in the top Rembrandt expert in the world to verify the critics' claims but Jeannie stands in instead.
Tony is ordered to escort the visiting Princess Tarji (Gila Golan) around Cocoa Beach, but the assignment turns into a royal pain when Jeannie recognizes the princess as a member of a royal family who are sworn enemies of her own; she explains to Tony that she's taken an oath to kill anyone from the family. To protect the princess, Tony pretends to want a list of extravagant things (like a pineapple farm in Alaska) that he hopes will take Jeannie the duration of the visit to blink up. But Jeannie comes back sooner than expected and finds the Princess at Tony's house, and the fireworks commence.
