"Mystery Elephant" follows professional hunter Pete Donegar and Walter Matthews as they venture into African wilderness hunting for big game, only to discover a mysterious elephant that terrifies them in the darkness of the jungle. When Pete's instincts are aroused by strange sounds in the night, the hunters realize they are being stalked by something far more dangerous than ordinary animals. The story explores their confrontation with this unknown threat during their safari expedition.

When professional hunter Pete Donegar and his client Walter Matthews encounter a colossal elephant in the African jungle, their initial escape turns into an obsession to track down the creature—but the mystery only deepens when they discover a photograph the beast itself seems to have taken, and later spot it doing the impossible. What Pete and Walter uncover in the wreckage of their confrontation challenges everything they thought they knew about the animal kingdom and hints at a threat far larger than either man imagined.

Professor Sayers, the newly appointed Secretary of Science, dismisses Project "T"—a time-travel experiment led by Dr. Verron, Cawley, and Shavin—as scientific nonsense and cancels it due to budget cuts. When the three physicists insist they have proof that time-travel is possible, they recount their bizarre encounters with a mysterious European scientist named Alex Ostro, who claims to be the reincarnation of the legendary 18th-century figure Count Alessandro Cagliostro and possesses an actual time-travel device to prove it. What unfolds is a strange tale of arrogance, ancient secrets, and a challenge that will force the skeptical professor to confront the impossible.
