Fitch, a purse thief, is on the run from several policemen after muffing a job, and chances upon some kids playing around and taking turns shutting up people in an old icebox. He figures this is the way to avoid capture, so he makes a deal with one of the kids to pay him $5 for hiding him briefly in the icebox. He tears the bill in half and gives the kid one half and promises him the rest when he reopens the door for him. Unfortunately for Fitch, the police scare the kids off, leaving Fitch to suffocate to death in the icebox.

An art dealer murders a man in order to inspire three old sisters who create beautiful tapestries upon witnessing violent deaths of people. When he finds them not working, as they claim to be uninspired, he becomes frustrated with them and admits that he murdered the man before he sent his car smashing into the wall. Angry with him for tricking them, they say murder isn't fair; it has to be an accident, like when they pushed father under the train, and the next man into the path of a car, they dismember the art dealer and weave his body parts into a tapestry.
