Summary
  • The ghost and Mr. Chicken: A timid typesetter hasn't a ghost of a chance of becoming a reporter - until he decides to solve a murder mystery and ends up spending a fright-filled night in a haunted house
  • The reluctant astronaut: Royal Fleming is a thirty-five-year-old carnival worker with a fear of heights who runs a spaceship ride for kids and still lives at home. Concerned about his future, Royal's dad sends an application to NASA in his son's name. After being accepted, Royal discovers his new job involves sweeping floors, not space travel. But when the space race heats up, he's chosen as part of a plan to send an ordinary citizen into orbit
  • The shakiest gun in the West: Jesse W. Heywood is a timid Pennsylvania dentist who leaves the comfort of the East to bring modern dentistry to the West. The misadventures begin when Jesse is duped into marrying a statuesque redhead (and reformed stagecoach bandit) who has agreed to finger the men responsible for selling whiskey to the Indians
  • The love god?: Abner Audubon Peacock is the publisher of a bird-watcher's magazine which is converted into a girlie mag by an unscrupulous operator Osborn Tremaine
  • How to frame a figg: Hollis Figg is the dumbest bookkeeper in town. When the city fathers buy a second-hand computer to cover up their financial shenanigans, they promote Figg to look after things, knowing he'll never catch on. Their plan backfires when Figg becomes self-important and accidentally discovers their plot
