Subject Matter
Character(s): Arthur Forrester
Synopsis: During World War 2, an American fighter pilot is shot down by the Japanese but gets rescued by winged humans who take them to their island. The island is populated with Dinosaurs and the winged men explain that heat from the nearby volcanoes has preserved prehistoric life on this island and caused their people to take a different evolutionary path from the rest of humanity (hence the wings). The winged men help the pilot defeat a Japanese naval force but their island gets destroyed as a result and they are wiped out.

Disclose Notes: The Dinosaurs on this island (Tyrannosauruses, Brontosauruses, Stegosauruses, Pterodactyls, and a Triceratops) are extremely aggressive and constantly attack the winged men, which is why they had built a huge wall to keep their city safe. In one sequence the American fighter pilot uses the machine guns on his downed plane to wipe out a horde of attacking Dinosaurs, which cause the winged men to be indebted to him.

Synopsis: A group of hunters go out looking for game. One of the men (a skeptic) is told not to enter a section of woods known as the Haunted Forest but he refuses. As he enters the forest, he is attacked by American Indians who plan on burning him alive after binding him to a stake. He is rescued by their noble chief, Chief Manyfingers, so named because he has six fingers on each hand. The man wakes up and believes he dreamed the whole ordeal, until back at the lodge he sees a painting of Chief Manyfingers with an image of him tied to a stake behind him!
