Sven is a factory worker who is charged with the task of keeping his workplace free of spiders. Unfortunately, Sven suffered a harrowing incident as a child and is deathly afraid of them. As an adult however, he manages to overcome his fear and takes great delight in killing every spider he can find. After work, he meets a woman at a bar who pays him ten dollars to clean the spiders out of her parlor. When he arrives at her house, he realizes that the lady is actually a spider-woman who traps Sven inside of a gigantic web.; A man finds he has the power to kill people by tearing photos of them. He decides to get rid of his shrew wife by tearing her photo but after doing it without even glancing at it, his recently fearful wife tells him that she has been trying to please him lately so she replaced her photo with one of him.; An evil old man in a cabin tends plants who used to be people.; A man arranges for a rival to be murdered at Mardi Gras, but instead of meeting the assassin in a Devil costume, he gets hauled away by the real Devil.; The tear from a statue turns out to be the universal solvent.
