In "He'd Rather Die Than Tell," a desperate man flees the scene of a murder, clutching a mysterious crystal ball that refuses to shatter—even as he plummets from a rooftop. The artifact, cold and unyielding, shows him the crime he’s tried to escape, trapping him in a vision he can’t escape.
In "You Can't Hide From the Eye!", Floyd's invention—a device that spies on any location and projects its images onto a television—draws the attention of Burden's mob, who enlist him for a bank heist. But as the device broadcasts its visions across town, the neighbors begin to see what's happening, and their warnings set a quiet alarm in motion.
In "A Shaggy Wolf Tale!", a pack of wolves transformed by atomic radiation develops telepathic minds and reaches out to humanity with a surprising proposal: stop hunting animals for their pelts, and in return, they’ll grant humans the ability to grow their own thick, warm coats.
