This anthology issue contains at least two stories: "Nightmare for Two!" depicts an old man in a gloomy laboratory using the tools of science to bring horror to life, involving two mysterious cocoons that Jason and his companion discover; and "The Machine That Fell in Love," in which a woman in a red dress encounters a mechanical robot on a strange alien landscape, with the narrative suggesting a romantic connection between human and machine. A third story involves characters witnessing a vampire bat attack at a museum, with a woman named Cathy experiencing a nightmarish encounter that leaves her convinced something impossible has occurred. Additional content includes a maritime adventure where divers search for a sunken wreck and discover a mysterious floating object, with Captain Fuller directing operations to raise an unknown prize from the ocean depths.
