This anthology issue contains at least two stories: one involving a murder mystery where a man and woman are implicated in a killing for money, with characters named Jules and Léon discussing the crime while attempting to cover their tracks; and another featuring an invisible scientist named Greg who has developed an invisibility serum and demonstrates its power by becoming invisible and animating inanimate objects, then testing the formula on an unsuspecting pedestrian by hurling fruit at him. The second story continues with the invisible Greg entering an apartment building to investigate whether a woman named Doris is truly in love with him.
