Another featured story concerns a character named Leonard Lund who discovers treasure in an ancient tomb while being pursued by a man named Husfat, who has been imprisoned in the tomb for 4,000 years and claims the treasure as his own, only to have darkness return to the tomb as the workmen seal it shut again.
