Two newlyweds in Egypt uncover a huge egg in the sand that hatches into the Roc in the warm sunlight. The monstrous bird flies around gathering parts of bridges, trains and other items to use in constructing a nest until the scientist that uncovered the egg gets the idea to build a robotic duplicate that flies into outer space, enticing the Roc to follow it in its forlorn quest for a mate.; A lame boy wills himself to the future and his legs are healed before he sends himself home.; An art dealer who buys quality paintings at rock-bottom insulting prices from poverty stricken artists and then sells them for thousands attempts to steal a beautiful painting from a gypsy who refuses to sell it. The dealer has the gypsy arrested on a trumped up charge and burgles the man's wagon to remove the painting. When the gypsy is released because the man cannot be found he knows why and goes to the art dealer's apartment to retrieve his enchanted painting, finding the art dealer now a part of the picture.
