# Out of This World #9 This issue is an anthology containing at least two stories. "Out of This World" follows a newspaper reporter who attends a spiritualist séance to expose a faker named Chandel, only to discover a shadowy figure in the seance room that the reporter had previously seen, leading to an investigation of the con artist's claims. "Reservoir Rescue" is a prose story about two fishing enthusiasts who discover an underground chamber filled with Revolutionary War-era artifacts and weapons while exploring beneath an old bridge at a city reservoir, and encounter a mysterious noise that forces them to flee without fully investigating the discovery. The issue also includes "Out of This World" (continued), a Western tale in which a gunfighter named Tom Molton pursues a slow-draw opponent, only to find himself mysteriously drawn to his own weapon during the confrontation.

In "The Omnipotent Robot," scientist Siroco has built a powerful android named Tondo for space exploration, but when a man he calls 'Your Excellency' seeks to use it for conquest, Tondo's first mission takes an unexpected turn—returning after three years, damaged and showing images of a dead world that deters invasion. Now, on a new mission to Earth, Tondo must again outwit the despot, using deception to shield the planet from a fate it has not yet earned.
