# Movie Love #1 This anthology issue contains two complete movie adaptations. "Mrs. Mike," featuring Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes, follows a couple's arduous journey through the Canadian wilderness after traveling 327 miles by dogsled, only for Kathy to discover their child has died from an epidemic while Mike was away on a mission. The second story, "The Big Wheel," starring Mickey Rooney, depicts a young man's ambition in the racing world, culminating in a tragic accident during a race that results in a death, though the circumstances remain unclear as an investigation determines whether it was truly an accident or something more sinister.
