Logan (prospector, Heston's partner); Heston (villain, prospector, death)
With the temperature outside reaching -50, Heston decided to knock his partner unconscious, steal his gold nuggets, and make his way across the tundra. Carrying out the deed, he grabs Logan's knapsacks and heads out, soon falling into an icy-cold lake. Realizing he might freeze to death, he reaches into the knapsacks for matches he knows are there. But they aren't, and then he realizes that, before he knocled out Logan, Logan has taken the matches out of the knapsack, placing them in his....for he was planning to do to Heston what Heston did to him!

Two stepsons, angry because their late mother willed her fortune to her husband, Henry, instead of to them, decide to kill Henry by loosening the bannister on the spiral staircase leading upstairs, a bannister that Henry leans on every time he descends the stairs. When that plan fails, they decide to poison his orange juice. Henry suspects the truth and leaves the house with a sample of the juice for the police to test. The two boys each drink the poisoned juice themselves to prevent their arrest for murder. After they down the liquid, the police appear at the door with a surprise for them!

The Old Witch (host); Corporal Barry Tacker; Barry's wife; Barry's son; Edgar Chambers (villain, landlord, death)
Corporal Tacker arrives home on leave and finds the rented, ramshackle family home teeming with rats and biting insects. When the landlord refuses to correct the conditions of the house, Barry visits the USO, but they can't help either. So, Barry moves his family to a hotel and goes to the landlord for his security deposit back, but the landlord tells him that he must check the place for damages first. When the landlord enters the house, looking for phony repairs to eat up the security deposit, the stairs collapse and he tumbles to the floors, surrounded by rats, and no one to hear him scream!
