A nuclear submarine finds an alien hibernating in a glacier. He has been waiting thousands of years for humanity to wipe itself out so his race can claim the Earth, and now that nuclear weapons exist he thinks it won't be much longer.; A hermit claims to have helped a group of aliens in return for a chest of treasure. The chest is empty, but he realizes that air is precious to space travellers.; A sculptor builds two statues, one representing good and the other, evil, but the evil statue comes to life and attacks him. The good statue saves him, and both of them fall into the swamp.; A real estate agent tries to dissuade a man from buying a haunted house, but he insists on spending a night there. He is chased from the house by spirits and is scared off, which relieves the agent, since he is one of the ghosts, and wouldn't want to have to share their home.; A man tries to convince a stranger that the camera he found takes pictures of another dimension. The stranger seems skeptical, when a bolt of lightning strikes and the stranger disappears, along with the man's pictures. While the man thinks he imagined it all, the stranger returns to his own dimension, where he cannot convince anyone of Earth's existance.
