In "The Man Who Believed!", a struggling artist stumbles upon an enigmatic old man whose greeting cards come to life through magic ink.

An artist with a poor memory for details comes across an old man who designs greeting cards with magic ink that makes what is drawn there actually occur. When the artist obtains some of the ink, he draws himself within a vault surrounded by piles of money, but he neglects to include the detail of...a door.
