This anthology issue contains two stories. "Where the Redskins Never Fell!" follows a government expedition to the archives building to locate records of General Garrett and his negotiations with Native Americans; when they discover the building and its contents, Pete and Harvey realize they have somehow slipped into the past and encountered the very Indians and historical events they were researching. "The Candle" tells of a couple who discover a magical candle that grants wishes—when they wish to be young again and burn the candle, it fulfills their desire but consumes their fortune in the process, leading them to frantically wish for the money back before the candle burns out completely.
