A sportsman who is only interested in game for the trophy ends up the victim of a lunatic who thinks the same way about humans.; An old crone utters a magical spell that causes her to switch bodies with a man's young wife. He tricks her into switching back by convincing her that the body she has usurped is terminal with cancer, then shoots the crone, and buries her in the cellar.; Henri and Marie are the owners of a wax museum, and Marie claims that the wax figures in the chamber of horrors tell her that they are being tortured, so she averts their eyes from their victims and lowers their weapons. This infuriates Henri who threatens his wife with death should she touch the statutes again. When he discovers Marie has altered the chamber of horrors to a scene more resembling a joyful party, he strangles Marie. The wax figures get revenge and turn Henri into a large candle for Marie's funeral display.; A rejected young man buys a love potion that works a bit too well.
