# AMAZING STORIES Magazine Content
This issue contains science fiction stories including "Four Dimensional Robberies" by Rob Olsen, featuring a protagonist who operates a Hyper-Forceps device capable of manipulating objects through the fourth dimension. The story opens with reports of over a billion dollars stolen from safe deposit boxes nationwide via four-dimensional means—a situation kept secret to prevent public panic. A sequel to Olsen's "Four Dimensional Surgery," the narrative references Professor Banning's work with dimensional mathematics and a previous incident where the Forceps drew subjects into hyperspace.
Other featured stories include "The Octopus Cycle" by Irvin Lester and Fletcher Pratt, "Dr. Brittlestone's Method" by Samuel M. Sargent Jr., and a Poe reprint, "Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade." H.G. Wells's "A Story of the Days to Come" continues as a serial, and Hugo Gernsback contributes "Baron Munchhausen's Scientific Adventures." Francis Flagg's "The Master Ants" appears alongside other features.
