A millionaire buys an enchanted mirror that allows him to wish any person he dislikes to be trapped inside of it. He wishes dozens of people into the mirror until he is contacted by agents of the IRS who wish to audit his books. He briefly considers wishing them into the mirror, but realizes that the government would just send more, so he decides to wish that no one will ever bother him again. He gets his wish, as he finds that all the people who were trapped in the mirror have been released and now he is its sole prisoner.
