A scientist invents a device that makes people susceptible to suggestion and a car salesman gets ahold of it.
A criminal attempts to force an artist whose pictures magically appear in real life to draw him a car with a big stack of money, but the artist simply draws him behind bars.
Only one of two embezzlers get caught, but the convict threatens to get even with his partner who was not suspected. When the man returns home, he finds a doppelganger of the convict waiting for him. They struggle, and the doppelganger dies during the fight. He hears on the radio that the convict in prison has died at the same moment the doppelganger perishes. He is so flustered by the incident that he confesses his role in the crime to the police.

Johnny finds a magic wishing stone, but wishes it away because magic would make life no fun.
This story postulates that the world is 'cleaned' occasionally and all the people are moved into another world briefly while this is done and then transferred back.
An Egyptian tomb raider finds himself with privileged knowledge of a tomb and figures that the only way he could possess this knowledge is if he is the reincarnation of the Pharaoh, but it turns out that he is merely the reincarnation of one of the Pharaoh's slaves and falls victim to one of the tomb's pitfalls.
