Later, after a taking a nap, Milton awakes to see Lorna standing over him. He's tied to the four bedposts, and a vengeful Lorna says she's going to help make him a "big man". How? She's turned the bed into a stretch rack. So, Milton ends up a very big man. But, he's not really enjoying it.

Synopsis: Rich, spoiled Amboy loves to drive his carriage at high speeds through the local village. He doesn't even mind when he runs someone over. But, his father has had enough, and he tells Amboy he'll have to take care of himself from now on. All he'll get is his own castle and his weight in gold for an allowance (poor guy, roughing it like that). To increase his allowance, Amboy starts swallowing balls of lead shot. But, while driving his carriage on another high-speed jaunt, he has to stop short. Well, Amboy stops short; the balls of lead in his stomach keep going. Ker-splat!

Synopsis: The planet's top scientist has put forth a compelling argument that criminal behavior is inherited. To remove this blight from the empire, they resolve to banish all criminals to a remote planet rather than simply imprison them. Their memories will be wiped, and the empire will ensure that the criminals' descendants never manage to master atomic power or space travel. Other than that, the exiles will be free to build their own culture. Eventually, they will even give their planet its own name: Earth.
