Apollo and Muley break into a museum and are confronted by a guard, so Apollo grabbed a scepter out of a case to use as a club. It was the "Wand of Weirdness", supposedly belonging to Merlin the Magician which had a curse that said anyone using the wand for evil purposes would have it visit back upon them. Sure enough, it does and both die. The wand next brings bad luck to a cab driver and racketeer Dippy Dugan, who is killed when he wishes for bullets to go around him. Steel Sterling retrieves the wand and returns it to the museum.
