Gila Golan and Vic Tayback

"This is Murder," like the previous episode "My Master, the Thief," finds Jeannie yet again exacting vengeance from 2000 years before. The beautiful Princess Tarji (Gila Golan) is visiting America for three days, and Major Nelson is chosen to be her escort in Cocoa Beach. Dr. Bellows delivers the pronouncement from General Peterson with this caveat: "if anything goes wrong, you couldn't pay me to be in your shoes!" Jeannie is willing to do whatever she can for Tony's guest, until learning that the Princess is from the same family that insulted her family 2000 years before. The 'Death of a Thousand Knives' is reserved for her, until Tony thinks of a few special wishes that will take Jeannie three days to accomplish. A yacht in the Gobi Desert, a ski chalet in Bermuda, and a pineapple plantation in Alaska keep her busy while he's greeted by the Princess and her servant Turhan (Vic Tayback). Jeannie finally avenges herself by turning Tony into a parrot!
