Six men marooned on a desolate island seal a curse in a bottle and cast it to the sea, hoping someone will discover their story and bring justice against the ruthless criminal Larrigan who left them to die. Years later, the mysterious Mr. Bottle—a pint-sized avenger with extraordinary powers—finds the bottle and sets out to track down Larrigan and make him answer for his crimes. With the help of his magical abilities and unwavering sense of justice, Mr. Bottle pursues the villain across land and sea in this wild tale of vengeance and retribution.
A jester entertains his king with a rousing tale of medieval warfare: how a captured monarch and his faithful servant Reynaldo find themselves prisoners of Sultan Achmed Abdullah, forced to negotiate their freedom with the crown jewels as ransom. But Reynaldo's quick thinking and daring disguise lead to a clever turn of events that leaves even the Sultan laughing at his own misfortune. A swashbuckling yarn about outwitting a powerful enemy through cunning rather than force.
Joseph the Janitor is a one-page humor piece about a janitor trying to get peace and quiet from a tenant who keeps banging on the radiator for heat—but the more coal he shovels, the more demanding his complainant becomes. Meanwhile, Teen-age Tommy nurses a sore pitching arm and accepts a mysterious strength remedy from a friend with questionable chemistry skills, leading to wildly unexpected consequences both on and off the baseball field.
