In "Lebendig begraben," stage magician Hugo, perpetually overshadowed by the legendary Great Carvel, orchestrates a deadly bid for fame by faking his own death and slipping into a coffin to stage a dramatic resurrection. With the help of his assistant Pepe, he plans to kill Carvel and reclaim his rightful place—but when Pepe’s mistake delays the rescue, Hugo’s carefully timed return from the grave begins to unravel.

In "Dem Monster, dass sie nicht vernichten konnten," Dr. Carlton Fry, once a man of science, has become something far beyond human—driven by an insatiable hunger for atomic energy, he now rages unchecked. With Professor Martin and Benton racing to stop him, every effort to contain the creature Fry has become ends in failure. As the city teeters on the edge of chaos, the final confrontation unfolds in a graveyard of nuclear waste, where power and destruction collide.

In "Das teuflische Gesicht," gambler Arthur Wells makes a desperate deal with the devil after losing everything at the casino—swapping his face for a demonic visage that repels everyone he meets. Now haunted by his new appearance, he pleads with the devil to reverse the pact, offering a final test: if his girlfriend June still loves him despite his monstrous form, he’ll be free.
