The Communists of East Germany are baffled by the murders of several of their agents. Suspicion falls on an undertaker who transports corpses to West Germany -- an undertaker who turns out to be Death himself.
After the first atomic bomb explodes children are born with the ability to read minds, which the government put to use as a tactical defense against the Communists.
A man works for a miser who cheats people on real estate deals until he gets so fed up with his boss selling run down dumps to kindly old folks that he kills him and shores up the floor support in the cellar with the man's body.
A scientist moves into a small town that proves his undoing when he builds a robot for a mate and the townspeople suspect that he has hypnotized the beautiful woman into remaining with the homely man.
