Synopsis for "The Human Torch Meets Paste-Pot Pete!"
While at the bank, Johnny Storm is witness to a robbery by a new costumed criminal named Paste-Pot Peter, a criminal that uses specially made paste to trap his victim. After Paste-Pot robs the bank, Johnny tries to stop him, however Peter manages to escape when he gets on a motorcycle as an escape vehicle.
The Torch catches up with Paste-Pot just as he has succeeded in stealing a missile from the military in the hopes of selling it to foreign powers. The Torch is unable to stop Paste-Pot initially because he over taxed his flame powers, allowing Paste-Pot to capture the Torch and bind him to the rocket he stole and launches it, hoping to kill the Torch.
Johnny's powers revive enough for him to free himself and get back on the trail of Paste-Pot Peter. The Torch tracks him down and manages to stop him by melting his truck. However, Paste-Pot manages to escape when he uses a paste line to hitch a ride on an airplane. However, his escape is a hollow victory, as he ends up falling out in the middle of the ocean.
The Torch meanwhile wonders if he's ever going to meet Paste-Pot Pete again.

Synopsis for "The Frog-Man"
1000 years ago a sorcerer turns an evil king into a frog. The frog escapes, and using a trance spell he learned from the sorcerer before his form was shifted, he sleeps for 1000 years reckoning that by that time any magic spell will be able to be countered. The trance works, and when he awakens, he travels towards the nearest house, but is astonished to see a giant frog walk out from it. He despondently returns to his burrow to put himself into a trance he will never wake from because he thinks he has slept for too long and humans have evolved into giant frogs. What he doesn't know is that the people in the house were just wearing frog costumes in order to attend a costume party.
