Midnight Mystery #7
"The Revolt of the Robot" follows children who emerge from a mysterious box containing a robot created by a "master human race." The robot, named Rocky from a carnival, initially obeys the children but then turns against them, attacking with projectiles and attempting to harm a man in striped clothing. In a separate story, a witch doctor named Simu claims to have removed a devil from a man's body, and a jungle clinic doctor seeks instruction in obtaining green stones from Chimor Mountain, leading to a dangerous expedition. The final story features a séance conducted by Professor Barbuti where psychic phenomena occur—a table rises and the contact is broken—and during a second session, the spirit of a woman named Caroline appears to deliver a token before vanishing.
