This issue contains two stories. "Smellbound" features a girl psychiatrist named Violet Ray treating a patient who hears strange, terrible music; the patient confesses to murder and claims he came to her for "elecution lessons," but the psychiatrist discovers his weapons and grows suspicious of his claims. The second story involves a séance held at a mansion on Ridgeway and Pine Streets, where a District Attorney and others gather to contact the spirit of the late Frederick Dougall; during the séance, the spirit of John Rowan is summoned instead, and a flaming finger of death appears, killing the man at the desk and leaving Mrs. Dale in shock, with the coroner's report later revealing the death was genuine and unexplained.

Contains 4 stories
The Tin Man
6 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

The Tin Man, a bumbling detective with a heart of gold and a frame of rust-prone metal, reluctantly teams up with a crooked former convict named No Good to retrieve stolen loot—only to find themselves caught in a bizarre, icy adventure that tests their nerves and the limits of their tin-plated durability. As they navigate frozen streets and a frostbitten crime scene, the Tin Man’s wife Solid worries about his oil consumption and the strange, jarring vibrations of the world around them.

Smellbound
6 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

In a surreal, smelly showdown at the Limburger Factory, a doctor and her patient—both named Limburger—engage in a bizarre battle of wits and identity, each convinced the other is an imposter. As the doctor tries to diagnose her patient’s delusions, the lines between reality, scent, and madness blur in a wild, satirical twist.

Oh for the Life--Of a Wife--Of a Werewolf
5 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

A perpetually single-minded werewolf named Mr. W. Wolf finds himself overwhelmed by his ever-growing harem of wives, each more dramatic and demanding than the last, as he struggles to maintain peace—both in life and in the afterlife—during a full moon. Amid a chaotic gathering of his deceased spouses, he’s caught between their jealous bickering and his own desperate wish for a quiet moment, all while dodging the consequences of his long history of "accidental" demises.

Robin the Hood and His Hairy Men
5 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody

Robin Hood, ever the prankster, finds himself tangled in a wild scheme involving a taffy apple, a stolen treasure, and a ransom plot that spirals into chaos when the Sheriff of Nottingham kidnaps Marion the Maid. As the King’s men chase him through absurdly named locales and tangled logic, Robin must decide between his loyalty to the poor and his growing affection for the loot.
