Synopsis A raving madman bursts into the office of a patent attorney attempting to interest him in patenting a magic mirror that reveals how old people will look in ten years if you merely think of them. If you look into the mirror yourself, it will show you how old you will be in five years. The attorney calls the authorities to haul away the lunatic, but not before the receptionist gets a look into the mirror and is disappointed to see she appears as a hag. They try thinking of other people and the mirror actually works. The attorney lets in the men with the white coats to haul away the man in his office gloating now he won't have to share the profits, but is horrified when he glances into the mirror himself and sees the face of the lunatic who has just been removed.

Synopsis Three thieves throw a bag containing one hundred thousand dollars into a body of water until the heat's off. One of them continually thinks of ratting out his buddies and taking the loot to disappear. Eventually, he gives in to his greedy impulse and swims down to get the bag but gets wedged between the rocks and knows that he's going to drown. When he looks away from the bag he sees that the bodies of his two friends, who also had the same idea, are wedged between the rocks.
