A giant floating head appears over New York, claiming that it is the advance scout of an alien invasion, and ordering everyone to evacuate. People panic when the head destroys a warehouse to demonstrate its power, but a young boy reveals that the whole thing is a hoax by criminals hoping to loot the empty city.; A criminal finds a genie and uses it to wreak havoc, but when he goes too far he takes the genie’s place in the bottle.; An archaeologist finds a giant mummy in the Egyptian desert. It rises and searches the tombs and museums of the area, examining several mummies before returning into the desert. The scientist follows it and sees the mummy enter a spaceship and lift-off. It was actually an explorer looking for missing space pilots, who wear mummy-like bandages as protective suits.; The animated statue rises up from where it fell in the last story and decides to go to America so that it can conquer the world. When it arrives it hides in a building that is actually a rocket that is shot into space.
