| Synopsis |
A man gets a bottle that will change personality and he thinks about using it on himself to become more daring but then decides to use it on UN diplomats instead. It doesn't have the results he intended because they become like animals attacking each other, so he sacrifices what is left in the bottle to turn them back the way they were. |
A meek man is left a bottle of gas that changes personalities. Instead of using it to become more daring, he uses it on UN diplomats. The gas has unexpected effects, but in the end he uses all of it to avert war, though no one knows the sacrifice he made. |
