Stone men rise out of the ground and set off a panic. A geologist realizes that the creatures are just explorers and will return underground on their own.; An arrogant businessman becomes governor of an alien planet and lives in an oxygen-filled dome, forbidding the natives from entering. When his oxygen pump breaks he has so thoroughly frightened them that none will come to his aid, and he slowly runs out of air.; Alien invaders disguise themselves as wooden statues from an African village to infiltrate the homes of the wealthy and powerful, but their plans fail because the coats of varnish added by the exporters immobilize them.; A man with his date at the museum laughs at the painting of Pan. The museum guard chastises him for it, and he leaves. Later, his date sees him on the street and asks him why his hair has fallen out. He doesn't tell her that, as they were leaving the museum, he looked back at the guard walking down the hall and saw that the man had cloven hooves.; A criminal sneaks aboard an experimental nuclear missile planning to hijack it and sell it to the Soviets, but after the rocket launches he discovers that it lacks internal control.
