This issue contains two stories. "Smellbound" features a girl psychiatrist named Violet Ray treating a patient who hears strange, terrible music; the patient confesses to murder and claims he came to her for "elecution lessons," but the psychiatrist discovers his weapons and grows suspicious of his claims. The second story involves a séance held at a mansion on Ridgeway and Pine Streets, where a District Attorney and others gather to contact the spirit of the late Frederick Dougall; during the séance, the spirit of John Rowan is summoned instead, and a flaming finger of death appears, killing the man at the desk and leaving Mrs. Dale in shock, with the coroner's report later revealing the death was genuine and unexplained.

Contains 4 stories
The Tin Man
6 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

When a crook named No Good shows up at the door of the Tin Man and his wife Solid seeking protection from gangster Big Moe, the famous super sleuth reluctantly agrees to help—but only because No Good claims he wants to go straight. What follows is a wild chase through detours and ice houses, complete with stolen loot, heated encounters, and the kind of ridiculous logic that only a tin man detective could navigate.

Smellbound
6 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

A doctorVisits a factory patient with peculiar delusions about a mysterious key and secret room, only to discover something far stranger waiting in the shadows—a comedy of mistaken identity and sibling rivalry wrapped around a family business dispute that spirals into absolute chaos when a psychologist can't tell which twin is which.

Oh for the Life--Of a Wife--Of a Werewolf
5 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

Mr. W. Wolf is a practical joker with a taste for chaos—a werewolf with an uncanny knack for causing mayhem wherever he goes, especially during the full moon when he and his many wives engage in their own brand of supernatural shenanigans. When Mr. W. Wolf and his various spouses find themselves at a cemetery soirée, their tangled romantic history and competitive spirits threaten to turn a "dead" party into absolute pandemonium. It's a wickedly funny romp through the monster world where jealousy, rivalry, and the undead collide with darkly comic results.

Robin the Hood and His Hairy Men
5 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

Robin Hood's apple-tossing stunt backfires when King Jawn declares war on the outlaw, setting off a chaotic chain of mishaps involving the king's guards, a kidnapped Marion the Maid, and a fortune in stolen tax money. With Marion held for ransom and a difficult choice looming, Robin must decide what matters most—love or loot—in this rowdy, tongue-in-cheek romp through medieval mayhem.
