Ant-Man is hunted by a Soviet agent sent to capture him, but a beautiful stranger warns him of the spy's whereabouts. Ant-Man realizes that the woman is really the spy and defeats her.

When hostile aliens come to Earth of the future they are persuaded not to enslave humanity because of Earth's music.

A fugitive steals a clock that turns back time. He becomes young again, and tries to commit the perfect crime, by escaping back in time before it happened, but when the clock breaks, he dies.

A man arrives in a small village looking for Pan, whom all the villagers affirm does exist. He hopes to cash in somehow, but becomes frustrated when no one will tell him where to find Pan, and he begins to think they are just scamming the tourists. He threatens to rough up a bartender and the bartender directs him to a nearby grove under the full moon. The man goes, and does encounter Pan, but is so unsettled by the encounter he immediately leaves town. It turns out the bartender has cloven hooves.
