Synopsis for "I Learned the Monstrous Secret of Bombu!"
Two men flying over the Amazon lose control of their plane and are taken from the crash site by natives to their witch doctor, Bombu. Bombu claims he is an immortal alien who landed on Earth long ago to gather information for an invasion. The men scoff at his story which angers Bombu so he demonstrates various powers, but the men are still skeptical thinking that they are being hypnotized to see things that aren't there. Bombu loses patience and creates a bottomless pit with which to destroy them, but at the fatal moment, is struck by lightning and killed. The superstitious natives take this as a sign that the two men possess greater power than Bombu and guide them to safety.

Synopsis for "I Found the Things from Nowhere"
A man messes with his TV and it picks up battle between alien-looking creatures. The man assumes that he must have tuned into the events upon some other planet, but what the TV has actually shown him was a colony of black ants being attacked and destroyed by a colony of red ants right outside his window.

Synopsis for "I Turned into a... Martian!"
A man on Mars encounters a hostile Martian who follows him back into his ship for the purpose of taking over Earth with his superior mental abilities. He has the ability to swap bodies with the man, is telepathic, and even though he is in disguise as the man's body he can prevent the stronger Martian form from attacking him. The man in the Martian's body is helpless to do anything to challenge the Martian, but when the ship is about to land, he looks over the crowd and thinks of them all unarmed so that the Martian rush them with his pistol and defeat them. The Martian reads his mind, and when he attempts this, is shot to death by guards. In death, the Martian's power over the man fades, and his human body is returned.
