"The Carnival Killer" depicts a confrontation at a carnival where Ali Ben Mayon and others engage in a deadly knife fight, resulting in deaths that occur before the ringmaster realizes the killer was among them all along. The second story follows Moxie Roberts, a man seeking new clothes on August 17, 1953, who becomes entangled with a mysterious figure claiming to be guided by celestial powers and involved with a secret Indian society; this leads to Moxie's involvement in a scheme involving stolen factory valuables, culminating in a getaway heist where he and his gang plan to take valuables from a location referred to as the "House of Mirrors."
