The Cry of the Sorcerers!
A city slicker tries to take advantage of stories concerning sorcerers living in swamp caves, but he outruns the local folks to escape the cave when it turns out there really are wailing sorcerers living deep in the caves.
| StoryTitle2 = The Secret of the Mountain Top! | Synopsis2 = A mountain from people who live underground is thrust upwards through the valley floor in order to attract climbers. After a number of climbers have been interviewed by the curious people, they cause their mountain to sink down below the earth once more.
| StoryTitle3 = What Went Wrong? | Synopsis3 = Martian invaders follow a 'detour' sign placed by a careless worker that causes their flying saucer to plow into the side of a mountain.
| StoryTitle4 = The Useless Ones! | Synopsis4 = A man considers his old neighbors useless, but they uproot a new, potentially deadly plant in their garden.
| StoryTitle5 = When Will They Come? | Synopsis5 = An orphan realizes that he is an alien when his fellows come for him.
| StoryTitle6 = Let There Be Light | Synopsis6 = The sun dims and Apollo walks the streets looking for a light for his lantern, but since matches are expensive no one will give him one, until he runs into a helpful boy scout who has learned to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
