Failing TV producer Winston Tate travels to a small European village in search for witches and warlocks to use for his next big show. While there he spots a woman being shunned by several old women for being a witch. After scaring off the old women Winston decides to make the young woman a TV star for his next project but needs the villagers to state on record that she's been tried as a witch. Taking the young woman into the village he asks for a recording as proof but the villagers want no part in putting their village in the spotlight. Winston then accuses the old woman of being witches instead. The young woman is given the option to leave by the villagers just as the men of the village grab Winston. The woman than confesses to Winston that it was true that she was shunned for being a witch but that's because the village is filled with men who are warlocks and only they are allowed to cast magic.

A Hollywood TV producer is desperate to save his falling horror show and looks for real-life witches in Europe to use as a gimmick. In a small village he encounters a group of old ladies trying to kill a young girl, and he assumes that she is a witch, but it turns out the husbands of the old ladies are warlocks and kill the producer for interfering.
A miner who leads a group of men in underground tunnelling is worried that automatons will replace workers. When the company sends a robot down to help, he's convinced it's going to take his job. He destroys it, but a cave-in occurs. He can't be rescued because the robot was sent to dig trapped miners out of caved-in mine shafts, and he has just destroyed his means of rescue.

In the prehistoric past, a mutant caveman is chased through the underground by his fellow cavemen, who want to destroy him. He hides behind a waterfall and feeds on the roaring sound. Eons later when the waterfall dries up, he explodes up into the surface world. In the modern day, a hippie couple stumble upon him. He is now a pulsating mass hiding in an abandoned home in the woods and desperately needs sound to feed on and pursues the couple. Just as he is about to shrivel up and die, the girl opens her mouth.
