Since he stopped the train while it was on the tracks, it is indeed struck by another train and he gets clipped by a flying piece of debris which gives the authorities time to catch up and apprehend him.; A Nazi saboteur with the ability to read minds makes friends as a cover with an American who can read minds as well, so when he tries to plant his time bomb at the munitions factory, the American wraps it up as a gift and gives it back to him so that it will detonate killing him and the submarine crew that has picked him up.; A man foils spies attempting to steal his plane made of gravity defying metal by outfitting his crew with safety harnesses made of the same material and having them bail out. The spies think the men have been killed, but as they hang motionless, they turn the plane around so that when it lands the spies are captured.; Two scientists discover a race of people living underground who hunt surface people. They destroy their equipment so that they no longer have access to the surface.; A gardener buys a can of pesticide that the chemical company had accidentally filled with Nitro instead.
