A pilot crash lands on Easter Island where he observes the statues rise out of the ground and discuss invasion plans of their home planet and the enslavement of Earthmen. He flees the pursuit of the statues and attempts to warn the proper authorities, but no one believes him. Eventually he begins to doubt his story as well, and unobserved, the statues who had been following him return to Easter island safe in the knowledge that no one would believe such an outlandish tale.; An alien race sends a scout to Earth prior to their invasion, but when he investigates a mysterious space ship he is trapped and crushed, as the ship is actually a living being. The aliens believe he has been captured and call off the invasion.; A space pilot visits a nearby planet, but finds that it is inhabited by giants, and so is too dangerous. He gets away, happy that his own universe is too tiny for the inhabitants of Earth to see it.; A burglar steals a golden camera that takes pictures of tomorrow. He uses it to get information on the stock market and horse races, but when he photographs himself he realizes that he has no tomorrow.; An assistant at a record store devises a sound that will make a person unconscious, planning to use it to rob a wealthy customer. When the man doesn't pass out the crook thinks he failed, not knowing that the customer was deaf, and only bought records for his wife.
