"The Antique Collectors" follows visitors to the Zenith Auto Sales showroom who inquire about purchasing an antique automobile, only to learn the salesman has no 1959 model in mind. When a man claiming to be the Pied Piper appears demanding $50,000 to rid the city of rats that have mysteriously vanished, Mr. Hurkness becomes suspicious and investigates the piper's house, discovering it has inexplicably transformed into an alien spacecraft. Realizing the piper and his accomplices are sorcerers or witches, Hurkness gathers townspeople to confront them at an active park in the Salem, Massachusetts area, determined to stop their supernatural threat.
