Billionaire William Randolph Hughes has placed several boxes around the American southwest, burying the first box with the instructions, "Each box has instructions to the next," with the promise of his lost fortune at the end. A collection of oddball characters embark on a comedic race to find the boxes and the lost fortune.

Two women in a remote Muslim community confront an escalating blood feud and reach deep into themselves in hopes to undo the feud stretching back generations.

Various works of Daniil Kharms are filigreely connected in a single whole by means of a character dressed in a sailor's pea coat, which roams from the "case" to the "occasion", getting into various stories and leaving unscathed from the most incredible situations. The character is a nice embodiment of the revolutionary sailor in reserve, what was filled with Russian society in the early 30-ies. He is quite a good-natured "lumpen", not devoid of features of his class: impudence, self-will and unceremoniousness. In the film the works of Harms are screened: "Noise", "Victory of Myshin", "Grigoriev and Semyonov", etc.

Sawyer Valentini is a woman who moves away from her home in Boston to escape a stalker. However, she is still traumatized, having a brief reaction while on a date. She talks with a counselor at Highland Creek Behavioral Center, unknowingly signing a consent form for voluntary 24-hour admission to a locked psychiatric hospital. She calls the police but they do nothing when they see the signed form. During the night, stress causes Sawyer to lash out through physical altercations with a patient and a staff member. As a result, the staff psychiatrist retains her for seven more days.

Another patient, Nate Hoffman, reveals to Sawyer that Highland Creek is running a scheme to milk health insurance claims for profit. They trick people into voluntarily committing themselves as long as the patients' insurance companies continue to pay; when insurance claims run out, the patient is "cured" and released. One day, Sawyer sees David Strine, her stalker, working as an orderly under the pseudonym George Shaw.

Nate has a secret cellphone, and Sawyer uses it to call her mother, Angela, who attempts to get her out; Sawyer reveals to her mother about having been stalked, and explains that David is at the hospital. David intentionally gives Sawyer a large dose of methylphenidate, causing her to appear insane. That evening, he convinces Angela, who had never seen him before, that he is a hotel employee, and kills her.

David feels threatened with Sawyer and Nate together, knocking Nate unconscious and secretly torturing him with a defibrillator before killing him with an overdose of fentanyl. Sawyer finds Nate's phone under her pillow, with images of Nate badly beaten. She alerts the staff, who dismiss and put her in solitary confinement. David visits Sawyer and says he has a secluded mountain cabin he wants to take Sawyer to. Sawyer mocks him for his inexperience with women. David later returns and reveals he faked that Sawyer's insurance ran out, changing her status to released. At a forest, the body of the real George Shaw is found.

Looking for a way out, Sawyer feigns concern that David is a virgin, and that she does not want to be his first. She convinces David to have sex with another woman to prove that he will only want Sawyer after losing his virginity. Sawyer suggests Violet, another patient who previously threatened Sawyer with a shank, and he brings her to the solitary confinement cell. Sawyer uses Violet's shank to stab David in the neck and flees as he kills Violet. He recaptures Sawyer outside, and she wakes up in the trunk of his car next to her mother's corpse.

Sawyer jumps from the trunk of the moving car and flees into the woods with David in pursuit. David catches Sawyer and breaks her ankle with a hammer. She stabs him in the eye with Angela's cross and slashes his throat with the shank. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Nate was an undercover investigative journalist sent to investigate Highland Creek. Police execute a warrant on the center and arrest the hospital administrator. Six months later, while at lunch, Sawyer thinks she sees David sitting in the restaurant. She approaches him with a knife, but upon realizing it is not him drops the knife and runs away in a panic.

In 1975 Dhaka, Moyna Iftekhar (Mumtaheena Toya), takes her studies as a medical student seriously. Her only escape being books and movies, Moyna idolises Sofia Loren. Her father, Brigadier General K.M. Iftekhar (Pijush Bandyopadhyay) in a conversation with a friend agrees to invite a family home to meet Moyna. After meeting Nadeem (Kazi Asif Rahman) and his family, Iftekhar and his wife Moshfeka (Naila Azad) agree to arrange Nadeem and Moyna's marriage. Moyna agrees to the proposal obediently.

Around this time, an angsty Afzal Khan (Rahsaan Noor) returns to Bangladesh after having studied in the United States for four years. Using his father's connections, Afzal joins DJ Mita Rahman (Sarah Alam) as a DJ for the popular World Music program at Bangladesh Betar, much to the chagrin of the show's producer Rafel (Ashfique Rizwan). Afzal's presentation and radio play 'Bengali Beauty' instantly become a hit with the youth of Dhaka, including Moyna.

Moyna's wedding date is set for 15 August, and her family merrily moves forward with wedding preparations. However, Moyna finds excuses and ways to sneak away to listen to Afzal and Mita's ever more popular radio show. At the library during one show, Moyna reflects on a photo of her and Afzal – taken years before. It's a picture similar to a scenario narrated by Afzal on the radio. Later that day, Moyna goes to donate supplies to a supply drive called by DJ Afzal and DJ Mita. And there, amidst all the fans, Bengali Babu (Afzal) and Bengali Beauty (Moyna) are reunited.

Soon thereafter, Afzal learns of Moyna's upcoming marriage. In a fit of frustration and rage, Afzal rants against the existing government and societal problems on air; leading promptly to his suspension. A gleeful Rafel takes Afzal's place next to DJ Mita on the World Music program. Moyna is devastated to hear the news of Afzal's suspension, not knowing what will happen to him. The people of Dhaka write to complain about Rafel's presentation and Mita pleads with the DG of Bangladesh Betar to bring Afzal back.

Afzal is reinstated and a more subdued version of his radio personality is back on air with Mita. Upon hearing Afzal back on the radio, Moyna calls Afzal and they make a plan to run away together and elope before Moyna's wedding the next day. However, their plans fall apart as Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is assassinated the very next morning. After sneaking through the streets of Dhaka and then to Bangladesh Betar, a devastated Afzal announces the news over the radio. Moyna listens and both weep at their lost hope of a future together.

One week later, Moyna listens as DJ Mita presents the World Music program solo. Mita talks about missing her friend Afzal, who has left to continue his studies in the United States, and narrates her version of the ending of 'Bengali Beauty'. A dream sequence unfolds in which the Moyna imagines what might have been had her relationship with Afzal continued. Moyna sheds a tear as Mita completes her poignant narration.

In 1956, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a first-year student at Harvard Law School, when her husband Martin Ginsburg, a second-year student, is diagnosed with testicular cancer. She attends both her classes and his, taking notes and transcribing lectures while caring for Martin and their infant daughter Jane. Two years later, Martin's cancer is in remission and he is hired by a firm in New York. Ruth petitions Harvard Law School Dean Griswold to allow her to complete her Harvard law degree with classes at Columbia Law School in New York, but he insists on following Harvard University policies at the time and denies her request, so she transfers to Columbia. In spite of graduating at the top of her class, she is unable to find a position with a law firm because none of the firms she applies to want to hire a woman. She takes a job as a professor at Rutgers Law School, teaching "Sex Discrimination and the Law".

In 1970, Martin brings ''Moritz v. Commissioner'', a tax law case, to Ruth's attention. Charles Moritz is a man from Denver who had to hire a nurse to help him care for his aging mother so he could continue to work. Moritz was denied a tax deduction for the nursing care because at the time Section 214 of the Internal Revenue Code specifically limited the deduction to "a woman, a widower or divorcée, or a husband whose wife is incapacitated or institutionalized". The court ruled that Moritz, a man who had never married, did not qualify for the deduction. Ruth sees in this case an opportunity to begin to challenge the many laws enacted over the years that assume that men will work to provide for the family, and women will stay home and take care of the husband and children. She believes that if she could set a precedent ruling that a man was unfairly discriminated against on the basis of sex, that precedent could be cited in cases challenging laws that discriminate against women and she believes that an appellate court composed entirely of male judges would find it easier to identify with a male appellant.

Ruth meets with Mel Wulf of the ACLU to try to enlist their help, but he turns her down. Ruth flies to Denver to meet with Moritz, who agrees to let the Ginsburgs and ACLU represent him ''pro bono'' after Ruth convinces him that millions of people could potentially benefit. After reading the draft of the brief, Dorothy Kenyon, who was cold to the idea at first, meets with Wulf in his office and convinces him to sign on. The Ginsburgs and Wulf file an appeal of Moritz's denial with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Department of Justice Attorney James H. Bozarth asks to be the lead counsel for the defense. Bozarth does a computer search to find all of the sections of the US Code that deal with sex. His defense will contend that, if section 214 is ruled unconstitutional, that will open the door to challenge all of America's sex-based laws. Ruth, having no courtroom experience, does poorly in a moot court, and Wulf convinces her to let Martin lead off arguing the tax law, with Ruth following up with equal protection arguments.

The government offers Moritz a settlement of one dollar. Ruth makes a counter-proposal: the government will pay Moritz the sum he claimed as a deduction and make a declaration that he did nothing wrong, and also enter into the record that the sex-based portion of section 214 is unconstitutional. The government declines this proposal because of the constitutionality element. During oral argument at the Court of Appeals, Martin takes more of their side's allotted time than he had intended. Ruth is nervous but makes several key points and reserves four minutes of her time for rebuttal. Bozarth frames his side's argument as defending the American way of life, implying that the Ginsburgs and ACLU want "radical social change" and maybe Moritz "just doesn't want to pay his taxes". In her rebuttal, Ruth is much more confident. She states that societal roles that existed one hundred years ago, or even twenty years ago, no longer apply. She does not ask the court to change society, but for the law to keep up with societal changes that have already taken place. To a judge's objection that the Constitution does not contain the word "woman", she responds vigorously that neither does it contain the word "freedom".

Outside the courthouse, judgment being reserved, Wulf, Moritz, and the Ginsburgs celebrate that, win or lose, Ruth has finally found her voice as a lawyer. Titles over the closing scene indicate that the Court of Appeals found unanimously in Moritz's favor. Ruth went on to co-found the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU, which struck down many of the sex-based laws Bozarth identified, and in 1993 the Senate voted 96 to 3 for her to become an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. The final scene shows the real-life Ginsburg walking up the steps of the Supreme Court building.

Gatsby Welles, the brainy but eccentric son of wealthy New York City-based parents, is a student at Yardley College, a liberal arts school in upstate New York. He is also a successful gambler. When his girlfriend, Ashleigh Enright, a journalism major from Tucson, has to travel to Manhattan to interview esteemed independent film director Roland Pollard for the student newspaper, Gatsby tags along, planning a romantic weekend in the city, while trying to avoid his parents who are holding a gala in the evening, and with whom he has a conflicted relationship.

Ashleigh's interview with Pollard is supposed to last one hour, but the director invites her to a private screening of his new film, which ruins her plans with Gatsby, much to his dismay. Strolling alone through New York, Gatsby bumps into a film student friend who is shooting a short film and who asks him to stand in for a missing actor for a shot that involves kissing his co-star. To Gatsby's surprise, the actress turns out to be Chan Tyrell, the younger sister of a former girlfriend. The two of them run into each other again when they both hail the same cab. Gatsby's romantic plans with Ashleigh are further delayed by Ashleigh getting increasingly involved with Pollard, who is having a creative crisis, and his long-suffering screenwriter, Ted Davidoff.

Feeling abandoned and without an itinerary, Gatsby accompanies Chan to her parents' apartment where he sings "Everything Happens to Me" on their piano. They discuss their love for New York and agree that on rainy days it is one of the most romantic places. They visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where Chan confesses that she used to have a crush on Gatsby. A chance encounter with his aunt and uncle at the museum forces Gatsby to attend his parents' gala later that evening

Meanwhile, while searching for a vanished Pollard, Ashleigh and Ted stumble upon Ted's wife, who is having an extramarital affair. While Ted confronts his wife, Ashleigh goes to the studio where she meets film star Francisco Vega, who invites her out for dinner. Gatsby, meanwhile, uses his gambling skills to win big at a poker game his brother had arranged earlier in the evening. Back at his hotel room, he sees Ashleigh on the television news hailed as Francisco's latest fling. Distraught, he goes for a drink at the Carlyle Hotel's cocktail lounge, where he meets an escort named Terry, whom he hires to impersonate the absent Ashleigh at his family's gala.

Francisco takes Ashleigh to a film business party, where she reconnects with Pollard and Ted, who both declare themselves smitten with her. Afterwards, Francisco and Ashleigh retire to his apartment, and as they begin to have sex, Francisco's girlfriend arrives unexpectedly, driving Ashleigh to leave through the backdoor into the rain, wearing only a raincoat over her bra and panties.

Gatsby arrives at his family's gala with Terry, but his mother sees through the charade. In an intimate talk, she reveals to Gatsby that she was an escort when she met his father, and that her earnings were the seed capital that resulted in their wealth. Her personal history is the reason she has pressured Gatsby into intellectual and artistic endeavors, education, and refinement that she acquired as an adult. This revelation changes Gatsby's perceptions of his mother. At the end of the night, Ashleigh finds a despondent Gatsby back at the Carlyle, assuring him that nothing happened with Francisco, despite her lack of clothing.

The next morning, before their planned return to Yardley, the pair take a horse-drawn carriage ride in Central Park. Ashleigh, however, is disappointed by the misty weather, and when Gatsby mentions a Cole Porter lyric, she misattributes it to Shakespeare. Realizing their incompatibility, Gatsby abruptly ends their relationship and announces that he will withdraw from Yardley to stay in New York. He later goes to the Delacorte Clock, outside the Central Park Zoo, reenacting a fantasy he and Chan previously shared. As the clock strikes six, Chan arrives, and the pair kiss in the pouring rain.

During the first 18 years of the 20th century, in a small town, two men, the sculptor Viktor Kolin and the ''Kapellmeister'' Marcel Thomas work on the Galathée theme, each in his own way. While one tries to approach the Galathée in a musical way, the other plans to carton the nymph in stone. Viktor has already chosen a young woman to model for the statue: it is the young Leni, a simple girl from the people who works as a temp at the vegetable market.

Leni feels very flattered and promptly falls in love with Viktor, making her a competitor of the singer Victoria Mertens, the sculptor's girlfriend. Viktor on the other hand, also shows interest in Victoria, which gives the erotic round additional piquancy. Upon completing his masterpiece, Marcel suddenly loses interest in Leni, who had hoped that the sculpture would attract him more to her. Full of anger, she goes to his studio and smashes the artwork. A court case is scheduled, and only then does Viktor realizes Leni's true feelings. Following the court order, he no longer opposes Victoria's decision to marry Kapellmeister Thomas.

Mars, a world with a culture ages older than that of Earth, is a dying world, and has been in decline for eons. By the twenty-second century it had become a colony of the younger civilization of Earth, its natives oppressed by the rapacious Colonial Authority.

Encountering each other in the Martian wastes, Terran outcast McCord and Martian warrior Thaklar engage in a wary truce and partnership for the sake of survival. Afterwards they are taken captive by the bandit chief Chastar and pressed into service of an expedition he has taken over. HIs other captives, the brother-and-sister Swedish archeological team of Karl and Inga Nordgen, have been searching for the legendary valley of Ophar, land of eternal youth, where life on Mars supposedly began; Chastar hopes to gain its treasures for himself.

The party ultimately finds the valley, a prehistoric paradise whose true nature is masked by a protective illusion. There the group fragments, each member falling victim to the valley's uncanny and seemingly judgmental power, a radiation that alters all who enter it in accord with their inner natures. McCord and Thaklar are relatively unchanged, while the victimized Inga and hard-bitten Zerild, a renegade dancer allied with the bandits, recover their innocence. The evil Chastar and abusive Karl, however, are regressed into monsters.

Freed from their captors, the Terran and Martian protagonists leave the valley and go their separate ways, McCord paired with Inga and Thaklar with Zerild.

Story

The story centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London-based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki's Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which led to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of a "hero" being blurred.

The Mage's Association has sent Rohngall and his pupil, Faldeus, to investigate the city and the status of the war. Faldeus, a spy from the US organization, has Rohngall sniped upon arrival, despite knowing that Rohngall was simply a puppet. He announces that their Holy Grail War has been in development and that it is real, which causes an uproar at the Clock Tower, and wishes to "advertise" the project to the Association.

Annie (Alison Brie) notices an upcoming class on grifting and, despite Jeff's (Joel McHale) protestations that the class itself will be a grift, each member of the group but Jeff signs up. The teacher, Roger DeSalvo (Matt Berry), tells the students to divide into pairs and practice repeatedly swapping briefcases over, the briefcases being "regulation briefcases" which he sold to them for $150 apiece. The group ask Jeff for help but he declines, smug that he was correct about the class.

Professor DeSalvo moves in to share an office with Jeff and begins to annoy him by telling Jeff that his faking a Juris Doctor degree makes him simply a liar, not a grifter. Jeff agrees to help the group plan a grift on DeSalvo. Their first attempt is the "African telegram", where Elroy (Keith David) pretends that he will give DeSalvo part of his new-found inheritance in exchange for loaning him money; their second is a fake winning lottery ticket. DeSalvo sees through both attempts easily.

Jeff admits to the group that he has no long-term grift and, demoralised, they watch ''The Sting''. Afterwards, DeSalvo interrupts to mock them and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) punches him in the face. DeSalvo runs away, but slips on a recently mopped floor and falls down a flight of stairs. Now in a wheelchair with a leg cast and arm sling, DeSalvo is given $50,000 in cash as compensation by the Dean (Jim Rash) and Frankie (Paget Brewster). Britta meets with DeSalvo, the pair having planned DeSalvo to fake an injury as a grift, and kisses him while the group switch his briefcase of money for an empty one.

After DeSalvo attempts to find his briefcase, unamused by Leonard (Richard Erdman) spilling a tray of briefcases over him and a "briefcase parade" in which he can easily identify the one with money inside, he finds the group conversing with a police officer. The group tell him that he must either admit that he was grifted, or owes the school $50,000 for claiming compensation for fake injuries. DeSalvo concedes and is fired by the Dean.

Shortly after the events of ''A New Frontier'', Clementine rescues AJ from Fort McCarroll after it's attacked, and is forced to kill AJ's caretaker in self-defense. Years later, Clementine has continued to raise AJ, recalling the lessons Lee taught her. While scavenging for food, the two end up in a car crash from which they are saved by a group of abandoned teenagers, operating from the ruins of Ericson's Boarding School for Troubled Youth. While acclimating to living in the school, Clementine and AJ return to scavenging and encounter a man named Abel, who tries to rob them. After informing the others at the school of their encounter, Clementine finds the group's leader Marlon having a heated argument with another resident, Brody. Brody reveals to Clementine that Abel is part of a raider group that Marlon had traded resident twin sisters Minerva and Sophie in exchange for safety and that he also intends to trade her and AJ should the raiders return. Marlon accidentally kills Brody out of rage for revealing this and tries to frame Clementine for her death to the rest of the children. Clementine convinces the others of Marlon's wrongdoings, but before anything else can be done, AJ kills him.

Clementine and AJ are evicted from the school. Outside, they run into Abel and another member of the raiders, Lilly, the woman who either left or was forced out of Lee's group during the first season. Lilly attempts to negotiate with Clementine to convince the other kids to join her group, but she refuses and escapes with AJ, which leads to AJ being wounded. The pair are saved by James, a former member of the Whisperers, who tells them the raiders are forcibly recruiting people for a war against a rival community. Clementine returns to Ericson for medical treatment and to warn them about the raiders. The children prepare the school grounds for an attack. Two weeks later, the raiders arrive and though they are pushed back, they manage to kidnap some of the children. The children learn from a dying Abel that the raiders have established camp in a nearby riverboat and with James' help, infiltrate the boat and plant a homemade bomb in its boiler before encountering Minerva, now a member of the raiders, who imprisons them with the others. Lilly confronts Clementine and reveals that Minerva killed Sophie when she tried to escape their group.

Clementine incapacitates Minerva, frees the children, and overpowers Lilly, who is then held at gunpoint by AJ. Clementine can tell him to kill or spare her; if spared, Lilly murders James. During the chaos, the bomb goes off and the ship explodes. Clementine and AJ escape the sinking boat as Lilly (if spared) flees on a raft while the other raiders are overwhelmed by walkers. If James is alive, he leaves the group after quarreling with Clementine over AJ killing Lilly, potentially aiding their escape, depending on choices. Clementine, AJ, and Tenn meet with either Louis or Violet, who leads them back to Ericson. After reaching a partially collapsed bridge, the group is attacked by a bitten, dying Minerva, who has led a horde of walkers to them. Clementine fights off Minerva, who slashes her ankle, and crosses the bridge with AJ. Louis or Violet try to make Tenn cross as well, but he is too stunned to move; if Clementine previously trusted AJ, putting the confidence in him to make hard decisions, he shoots Tenn to save Louis or Violet, otherwise, he will tell Louis or Violet to throw Tenn across the gap, thus saving him, but resulting in the other person getting devoured by walkers.

While escaping the horde, a walker bites Clementine's wounded leg. Clementine and AJ take shelter in James' barn, which is quickly surrounded by walkers. A weakened Clementine urges AJ to escape on his own through the roof, then asks him to either kill her or leave her to turn. Some time later, AJ reunites with the children in Ericson, and it is revealed that Clementine is still alive, having been rescued in time after AJ amputated her bitten leg.

A year after defeating the Children of Arkham, Bruce Wayne witnesses the return of the Riddler to Gotham while investigating arms dealer Rumi Mori. Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and the GCPD fail to capture Riddler, and the investigation is taken over by the mysterious Agency, led by Amanda Waller. Riddler leaves behind a puzzle box for Batman. When Lucius Fox investigates the puzzle at Bruce's request, he is killed by a homing missile summoned by a signal emitted from the device. At Lucius's funeral, Bruce reunites with Arkham patient John Doe, who offers to help Bruce track down Riddler if Bruce agrees to meet his friends, known as “the Pact.” Following John's tip to Riddler's lair, Batman and Gordon deduce that Riddler is targeting Agency operatives with missiles he had purchased from Mori. Batman apprehends Riddler, but the criminal is killed by a poison dart shot by an unknown assailant. As he dies, Riddler reveals he is also a member of the Pact. Waller assumes control of Gotham law enforcement. With Riddler, her previous lead to the Pact, dead, she reveals she knows Batman's secret identity and blackmails him to infiltrate the Pact as Bruce.

After Batman fails to stop Bane from raiding a GCPD armory, Bruce establishes a friendship with John to infiltrate the Pact through him. Harley Quinn demands Bruce prove himself by stealing an electronic skeleton key from Wayne Enterprises. Bruce succeeds but arouses suspicion from Lucius's daughter Tiffany. After convincing fellow Pact members Bane and Mr. Freeze to trust him, Bruce accompanies them as they raid an Agency convoy and recover Riddler's preserved body. Catwoman, revealed to be a former associate of Riddler, helps Bruce and John uncover SANCTUS, a rogue faction of the Agency with which Riddler was formerly involved. From Riddler's laptop, the Pact tracks down their target: the hidden SANCTUS lab in Gotham. Tipped off by Tiffany, Gordon arrests Bruce for colluding with the Pact, but Waller intervenes and has Gordon dismissed. Just before their raid on SANCTUS, the Pact suspects a mole, and Bruce is forced to give up either himself or Catwoman as the traitor. Bruce, as himself or Batman, foils the raid, but Harley escapes with a sample of a biological weapon known as the Lotus virus.

From a captive Mr. Freeze, Bruce and Waller's aide Iman Avesta learn that the Lotus virus was a failed SANCTUS project, with Riddler the only survivor of its experiments. The Pact planned to use Riddler's blood to convert the virus into a healing serum and cure their various ailments, while Waller planned to use it to make them serve her. Avesta, suspicious of Waller, destroys Riddler's preserved blood. John reluctantly agrees to help track Harley, but when Bruce discovers him surrounded by agents he has killed, John claims he acted in self-defense, and the player must decide whether to trust him or arrest him. Depending on the choice made, John either helps bring in Harley or helps her escape.

Weeks later, John reemerges as the Joker, either a vigilante with a twisted sense of morality or a villain colluding with Harley to exact revenge on Bruce for “betraying” him. The former scenario follows Batman, Joker, and Avesta as they collaborate against the corrupt Agency, now in control of the Pact and Catwoman, until Joker, frustrated with Batman's non-lethal policy, kidnaps and attempts to kill Waller. The latter scenario has Harley distributing the Lotus virus across Gotham in an attempt to recreate the healing serum from another survivor's blood, while Joker pits Bruce against Gordon, Tiffany, Alfred, and Selina Kyle in cruel games of trust. In either setting, Bruce learns that Tiffany was the one who assassinated Riddler and eventually defeats Joker. Waller pulls the Agency out of Gotham and vows to protect Bruce's identity in gratitude. Alfred resigns from Bruce's employ, disillusioned by the effects Batman has had on Gotham, and Bruce either abandons his Batman identity or lets Alfred leave.

In the post-credits scene, Joker either plots his revenge against Bruce in Arkham Asylum or is visited by him there.

A poor poet (perhaps Blok himself), his ghost-lady and the third character, subtly hinting with beauty and an article on Dantes, are immersed in authors not in a feast of aestheticism, but in the simple and eternal reality of our sinful world. Exhausted by passions, they are pathetic, they are beautiful in their own way, but how impudent are their impulses, completely fitting into the scheme of the classical love triangle. And only the imagination of the Poet, even spurred by cocaine, can transform this wretchedness into a hymn to the eternal confrontation of two men who have fallen in love with one woman.

Jackal Segura was born to a life rich with responsibility and privilege and will soon become part of the global administration, sponsored by the huge corporation that houses, feeds, employs, and protects her and everyone she loves. However, just as she discovers that everything she's been brought up to believe is a lie, she is convicted of murder. Grief-stricken and alone, she is sentenced to years of virtual solitary confinement compressed into a few months. When finally released, branded and despised, she struggles to rebuild her life, love, and soul in a strange place called Solitaire.

Time Games

In 1960, Alexa is part of a team of physicists studying a mysterious piece of torus-shaped technology. Her husband, Bertram, is a member of the US Army and is part of the guard surrounding the project. One day the torus repeatedly and uncontrollably transports Alexa and Bertram into the future, with each jump skipping a longer duration of time. As they pass through the 1990s, they are joined by a teenager named Spatz. The trio arrives in the dystopic year 2046 where the torus technology is commonplace. They are captured and forced into gladiatorial combat with other participants pulled from the past. The leader of the games is a woman named Bob, and she removes Spatz from the games when she recognizes him. She explains that when he is older, Spatz will be able to travel back in time and that he was instrumental in the development of her society. With the aid of one of Bob's cyborg henchmen, Spatz rescues Alexa, Bertram, and a Centurion before sabotaging the torus powering the coliseum to end the gladiator games. As the whole building is transported to a future time, the group is confronted by an elderly version of Spatz. He explains that they must continue their journey forward, and that they must take Bob with them because she will be important.

Momentum

After a few stops in increasingly unpleasant time periods, Alexa, Bertram, Spatz, the henchman, the Centurion, and Bob stop in a peaceful pre-industrial society. Spatz discovers it is ruled by an artificial intelligence that believes humanity is more secure without advanced technology. It dismantles the torus so the group cannot leave. It has also been imprisoning criminals who have travelled from the past in suspended animation. It claims Spatz is responsible for many crimes that occurred in the past, but is confused because it already has him incarcerated. Spatz reveals the AI's existence to the rest of the group, activating a program hidden in the henchman's cyborg attachments which causes the AI to malfunction and shut down. The criminals escape, including an elderly version of Spatz. Without using a torus, the elderly Spatz warps the teen Spatz and his group further into the future.

Relativity

The group appears in the coliseum from the Time Games during an ice age in the 88th century, where they meet a middle-aged Spatz. The elderly Spatz explains that the teen Spatz will develop a brain tumor that causes insanity. The middle-aged "Lost" Spatz is in the midst of the insanity and devotes himself to traveling through time trying to prove the future can be changed. At some future point, the tumor will be surgically removed. The elderly Spatz, now sane, tries to undo the Lost Spatz's actions. Lost Spatz tries to persuade the teen Spatz to join him, but the teen declines. Lost Spatz then reveals that due to his meddling, Bob is actually Alexa and Bertram's daughter. Her cyborg henchmen are all created by mixing Spatz's DNA with other people. In an effort to force the elderly Spatz to take action, Lost Spatz fatally shoots Bob. An older version of Eve appears and knocks out Lost Spatz. As Bob dies, the time travels abilities of teen Spatz activate, but unable to control it, he travels to "the end of time" and discovers a meeting of countless copies of himself.

Backwards and Forwards

Framed as a story an ancient Spatz relates to his childhood self, teen Spatz meets his various future selves and discovers that only he can travel backwards in time. He departs for the past with a middle-aged "almost lost" Spatz. In the framing story, the Lost Spatz appears to kill his childhood self, only to be restrained by multiple versions of himself. The ancient Spatz continues the story about the group in the 88th century, where elderly Spatz takes control of the cyborgs, who fly the coliseum into the air and towards "the way home." On the way, they encounter three immense wormlike remnants of humanity who have mutated and bonded with Accelerator technology. Spartacus sacrifices himself to destroy one, and the others two are destroyed by a skull-headed cyborg Eve knows as "The Face", who stands in front of a gigantic spire that stretches into the sky, along with a teen Spatz in grunge attire. Face explains that the Spire grew from the Seedling, which grew from one of the original 1960s toruses, and that it acts as a door to a refuge from time travel. Elderly Spatz and Alexa operate on the brain (revealed to be technological rather than human) of Lost Spatz , while Bertram digs graves and Eve fights young worms along with Face. The grunge teen Spatz tells the story of time travelling with the almost lost Spatz, continually hunted by the Lost Spatz and continually saved by his various future incarnations. They eventually return to a later version of pre-industrial town, now run by Eve, but the Lost Spatz appears and sabotages the Seedling, annihilating the town and prompting the almost lost Spatz to depart and become the Lost Spatz. An older Spatz gives Eve a torus, who jumps to the 88th century to stop the Lost Spatz. The now sane Lost Spatz awakens from the surgery and joins the group in front of the now activated Spire, where Face, slacker teen Spatz, the former Lost Spatz, and the elderly Spatz explain that "home" is the 999th century, where Spatz are not permitted. Alexa and Bertram enter the Spire, while Eve and Face remain to guard it along with the former Lost Spatz. The grunge teen Spatz travels back to hear the end of the framing story, briefly considers killing their now sleeping childhood self, and witnesses the death of the ancient Spatz from old age. He and multiple other versions carry the body back to the gathering at the end of time.

The film is set a few days after the end of the TV Series. A new strain of the Bugster Virus spreads among the population and a group of Ninja Players led by Kamen Rider Fuma invades the Seito University Hospital. Emu, Poppy, Hiiro and Taiga transform into Kamen Riders to fight back, but are defeated, and everybody except for Emu is infected and put into a coma, with Fuma using his Gashacon Bugvisor on a child patient with a brain tumor called Madoka Hoshi and rendering her also unconscious before leaving. Once she awakes, Poppy is surprised to see her friends participating in a School Festival, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Kiriya and Kuroto start to investigate the origin of this new virus and discover through Genm Corp's new president Tsukuru Koboshi that Masamune once negotiated with Johnny Maxima, the CEO of the game company Machina Vision regarding the contents of Kamen Rider Chronicle, but the deal was never completed, and both a Rider Gashat and Gamer Driver was stolen a few days later, along with part of the company's data.

Kiriya then confronts both Maxima and Fuma who is revealed as Kagenari Nagumo, Madoka's father. Kagenari then reveals that he sent Madoka and the others to the VR world for her sake, and does the same with Maxima and Kiriya. Kuroto then instructs Emu to enter the VR world to rescue them using a special VR system he developed and gives him a new Gashat called "Mighty Creator VRX". As Emu enters the game, Kuroto creates a distraction for Fuma with Parad's help. Once learning their plans, Kagenari chases after Emu to the VR world but is defeated by him. Emu then uses his new powers to create an exit for everybody to escape, but Madoka refuses to leave with them and stays alone in the VR world, until Maxima appears before her and uses the power she obtained for himself.

Back in the real world, the riders confront Kagenari about his actions and learn that his intention was to let Madoka live happily in the VR world as there was little chance for her to survive her treatment and even if she does, she would suffer from complications afterwards. Maxima then appears before them, revealing that he acquired trace data remains of Gamedeus and infects himself to transform into Gamedeus Machina so he can destroy the world. The riders are over powered by Maxima until Kuroto and Parad sacrifice themselves to restrain his powers with their own, forcing him to flee. Back at the CR, Emu and the others learn that Madoka's condition had worsened, and Hiiro, Emu and Asuna perform an emergency operation to save her. Meanwhile, Taiga and Kiriya decide to storm Machina Vision. Kagenari confronts them just to be defeated, and Maxima appears to attack them. Emu and Hiiro join the battle after the operation is completed and Emu reveals to Kagenari that he realized that Madoka's true wish was his own happiness. He also informs him that the operation was a success but she needs him by her side for her consciousness to return to the real world. As Kiriya leaves with Kagenari, Maxima ejects both Parad and Kuroto from his body to regain his full powers as Gamedeus and proceeds to destroy the world, until Emu transforms into Hyper Muteki to destroy him for good, while Kagenari, once reunited with his daughter, greets her as she wakes up.

With the incident solved, and the Bugster threat eradicated from Earth, the riders then return to their daily lives. In the post-credits, Emu and Parad confront a group of Bugsters when they are intercepted by Kamen Rider Build, who defeats Parad and extracts Ex-Aid's essence from Emu before leaving.

In a veteran's hospital in Galveston, Texas, Pete Williams (Barry Corbin), a World War II airman, has been angry and uncooperative, ending up in a psych ward. Terminally ill with only a few months left, Pete only wants to die with dignity. Nurse Ripley (Corbett Tuck), his sole friend at the hospital, helps him find one of his old B-17 bomber crew, pilot John "Eagle Eye" Pennell (James MacKrell).

Eagle's life at home with his son John (Michael Massee) is difficult as his fading memory has resulted in confused excursions and the loss of his driver's licence. John and his wife Hilary (Amy Kay Raymond) threaten to send his father to a retirement home but his son Taylor (Blaze Tucker) adores his grandfather and resists any effort to send him away. After receiving a letter from Pete, Eagle pulls out his late wife's 1958 Ford Fairlane and decides to set out to find the surviving members of his old bomber crew.

The cross-country odyssey begins badly when Eagle runs into Romy (Kate French), a young, gun-toting desperado who is escaping from her abusive partner, Joe Scanlin (William McNamara) with his ill-gotten money. The odd couple create an unlikely team as they search for other crew members, first finding Will Hodges (William Morgan Sheppard) Eagle's former co-pilot and saving Will from Diamond Jim (Jake Busey), his domineering boss. The veterans later meet up with another crew member, Grady Reeves (Richard Riehle), who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and dies in their company.

The two old friends continue their epic trip, with Eagle declaring to Romy, “Nothing is impossible if you have faith and an open heart.” Romy soon becomes the catalyst to the plan the two veterans hatch, sometimes getting them in more trouble as the police and Scanlin are hot on their trail.

Discovering an old Stearman biplane, with Romy's help, the two old pilots are able to get their hands on the controls once more, but their flight ends in a crash. Undeterred, the trio continue to try to find the "last man in the club".

When Eagle, Romy and Will finally locate Pete, he is about to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital. The trio of veterans, now back in their old uniforms, commandeer a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress at an air museum and take the ancient bomber up once more, rekindling the old memories that were their bond in war.

After the unsanctioned hop, police officers are waiting for the group, taking them all into custody, although even Romy will have an easy time with the authorities, as she turns state's evidence against Scanlin. Eagle ultimately presents Romy with the keys to his wife's car as a gift.

The novel initially starts with an introduction of the titular character Charlie Chan Hock Chye as an old man talking to an interviewer before transitioning to his childhood, where he is seen working in his family's shop in post-war Singapore. It then shows Charlie Chan's first comic "Ah Huat's Giant Robot" which features a robot that can only understand Chinese. The book then cuts between the life of Charlie and excerpts from his comics, explaining that he was educated in an English school through the generosity of one of his family's shops' customers. This pattern of cuts between comics and his life continues throughout the rest of the novel as the comic steadily changes from one about a Giant Robot to an allegory for Singapore's quest for independence from British Colonial rule, featuring animals and sci-fi epics allegorizing Singapore as a city under the rule of aliens with Lee Kuan Yew as a lawyer who speaks the language of the aliens. Charlie begins a partnership with a fellow young comic artist who eventually breaks up with him due to financial stress, after 8 years and numerous comics, including a superhero tale about a night soil man bitten by a cockroach and becoming Roachman, a parody of Spider-Man.

Nearing the end, a comic depicting the actions the Singapore government undertook to take control of the press is depicted via a comic depicting Singapore as Sinkapor Inks, a company with Lee Kuan Yew as a ruthless boss with the press as a company newsletter. Finally, a what-if section depicts Singapore if the Barisan Sosialis had won, ending in an alternate version of Singapore with a similar economic development as that of the present.

The movie revolves around the lives of Rex, Caloy, Leo and Odie in the streets of Quiapo, Manila. Quiapo is known to be one of the most crowded, depressed and notorious areas in Manila.

Destiny is a bossy, overconfident, victory-obsessed cheerleader who often ignores input from her peers, including her best friend, Willow. Though largely self-centered, she does have a high degree of respect for Cheer Goddess, a retired cheerleader who was a five-time champion and now hosts a popular podcast. Destiny is the captain of The Rebels, a cheer squad based in America, who has won many world championships.

While performing at a local tournament one day, the squad's routine is interrupted when the audio and visual feed is hacked by The Truth, a mysterious, masked squad who threatens to dethrone them. Humiliated, Destiny flees the scene, stumbling across a group of street dancers who ridicule her for her profession. Meanwhile, as a result of the attack from The Truth, public opinion turns against The Rebels, causing them to lose members and get ridiculed online as other cheer squads throughout the world become emboldened to try and break their winning streak as well.

Undeterred, Destiny decides to scout around a local diner for new (male) members, but when the attempt fails, she decides to recruit the same street dancers she encountered the other day. When they refuse, The Rebels make a bet that if they can beat the street dancers in a dance-off, then the dancers will join the squad, which they ultimately do. While the two parties have difficulty getting along, Destiny does manage to start a budding romance with Blake, the leader of the dance troupe, who also reveals himself to be a graffiti artist. Nonetheless, she still finds herself frustrated at how unproductive the practice sessions turn out to be, and vents her frustrations via video diaries on her laptop, in which she insults the new members of her own squad. Amidst all the infighting, Willow comes up with some new routines alongside one of the street dancers, with whom she also forms a romantic bond, though Destiny is quick to reject this, believing herself to be the only one capable of leading The Rebels to victory. After some self-reflection, however, Destiny decides to lighten up and be a more open-minded captain.

Meanwhile, The Truth goes on Cheer Goddess' show and proposes a worldwide tournament that would be voted on by the people, pressuring The Rebels to partake in it. Soon after this, however, Destiny's rant gets leaked online for the entire squad to see, causing many members, including the street dancers, to resign from their positions. Destiny eventually puts together that The Truth was formed by Willow, alongside Hannah, the seemingly dimwitted member of The Rebels, in retaliation for her overly strict leadership, and that many of the former Rebels have also joined this new squad. Standing by her best friend, Willow states that her intention was only to teach Destiny a lesson and that Hannah betrayed her by trying to bring down the whole squad in addition to this.

Destiny and Willow decide to make do with the remaining cheerleaders on their squad, but are surprised to see some former members, including Roxanne, come back, stating that Hannah is behaving the same way Destiny did before. Feeling more emboldened, and even managing to reclaim some of the street dancers, The Rebels partake in the worldwide competition, competing against now-unmasked Truth in the finals and ultimately besting them.

Tom, Lou, and Mitchell are playing poker at Lou's bar. A man enters and asks to be served. When Mitchell tells him to leave because the bar is closed, the man threatens him and angrily leaves. The man returns and violently shoots Lou, Mitchell, and Tom. The next morning Sam wakes up after dreaming about his former days as a bull rider. He starts his morning at the motel by reading about the shootings in the paper and then responding to a disturbance in room 128. Sam politely and shyly asks the tenant to quiet down, only to have the door shut in his face. Later that day, Tom's wife, Bernadette, goes on the porch during a gathering for her deceased husband and asks Sam if he can come by to no avail. Sam has trouble lifting his right arm and walks with a limp due to injuries suffered from bull riding. Bernadette, ignoring Sam's earlier wish, wakes Sam in the middle of the night for sex to which he obliges. They discuss whether Tom is in heaven or hell and Sam seems regretful of his relationship with Bernadette. Upon leaving the next morning, Bernadette picks up the picture Sam laid down. The photo is of a woman and a young girl.

Lila meets the man who shot Mitchell, her husband, and asks why he killed Tom and Lou instead of only killing Mitchell as planned. Showing no remorse, he blames her for the circumstances because Mitchell didn't leave the bar as she said he would. The man then tells her she should be celebrating because Mitchell has been killed as she wanted. He asks about his payment, and Lila tells him she will have it by the end of the week after she meets with Mitchell's lawyer. Lila tells the man she wanted Mitchell dead because he'd been unfaithful. Upon visiting Mitchell's lawyer, Lila learns that Mitchell was bankrupt, had lied about his life-insurance policies, and was being sued by former business partners. The bank now owns her home and there is no money. Mitchell's killer later approaches Sam at the motel and introduces himself as Elwood. He extends his stay at the motel and begins giving Sam praise as a famous bull rider. He tells Sam that his father was a huge fan of Sam and would have loved to meet him but he's now deceased. Sam befriends Elwood, and they go to a local diner where Sam talks about his health and why he shakes. Sam seems puzzled when Elwood tells him about his mother's death and how his father was absent due to incarceration. Elwood says his father died in a prison riot in 1996 and shows a strong disdain for him. Elwood asks Sam if he has a girlfriend, and Sam admits he does. When Lila enters the diner after riding with Bernadette to get milkshakes, Sam calls her over to the table and introduces her to Elwood. Taken aback, she pretends not to know Elwood before quickly leaving. Later that night, on the way home from Bernadette's house, Lila is followed by Elwood but is able to evade him.

After a phone call with his mother, Elwood becomes enraged and instigates a fight with two men. After calling Lila and leaving her a threatening voicemail, he violently beats the two men before leaving. Later that night, Lila receives the threatening voicemail and tries to run away from home, but is attacked by Elwood. He demands payment, and again she tells him she can get the money. Satisfied, he leaves and meets with Paul to enlist his services to do a job to which Paul agrees. Sam leaves Maggie's basketball game to spend the night with Bernadette. Once Sam has left her home, Elwood and Paul approach the house while she is in the bathtub. Hearing a noise, Bernadette goes to investigate and is chased by Paul while Elwood breaks into a wall safe. She stabs and kills Paul and is chased by Elwood. He subdues and nearly shoots Bernadette when he notices Sam's hat on the counter. Elwood takes the money from the safe and leaves.

Upon returning to the motel, Sam finds a tenant complaining about the noise in room 128. Sam knocks on the door and begins fighting with the tenant. However, his condition prevents him from throwing a punch and he is then overpowered and left lying in the rain. Sam recovers enough to go to Bernadette's home where he learns about the break-in. Elwood, who was injured in the struggle with Bernadette, tries sneaking out the next morning but is stopped by Sam who merely wants to say goodbye. However, Sam notices that Elwood is bleeding and realizes he is the one who robbed Bernadette. Elwood chases Sam into an occupied motel room, shooting the tenant in the process. Elwood searches the room but finds that Sam has escaped through the bathroom window. Sam then runs to the motel office to grab his grandfather's gun and tells Elwood to stay until the police arrive. Elwood refuses claiming that they are "square", a reference to him letting Bernadette live. Elwood attempts to get in his car to flee, but Sam shoots and kills him. The police go through Elwood's belongings and find Lila's name and phone number. She is arrested and the final shot is of Bernadette cutting Sam's hair while he thinks about his riding accident.

In the middle of a forest on Halloween, an anthropomorphic pig named Wilshire and his two employees, a snail named Sheldon and another pig named Vince, field-test a new rocket-themed carnival ride, with Vince strapped in as the test subject. The ride consists of a rocket connected to an arm that arcs into their air and violently crashes into an anvil, dislodging any loose change from the pockets of an unsuspecting rider. Ecstatic over the results, Wilshire cranks the machine up full-blast, ignoring Sheldon's protests. However, the ride is unable to take the stress and overloads, causing the rocket module to detach from the arm and fly off into the air with Vince still in it.

Sheldon falls into the blast crater the rocket made and finds a glowing medallion attached to a journal. Upon picking up the journal, he and Wilshire learn about Victor Frankenswine and his backstory: one Halloween night many years ago, he created an all-powerful monster that could "rival the gods", but his castle was raided by an angry mob of peasants. Frankenswine managed to launch his journal through a window, but was struck by lightning and killed while fleeing the mob. Now that Wilshire and Sheldon have found the lost journal, if they follow the map imprinted on Sheldon's tongue, they can win an instant camera, a scooter, a tote bag, or Frankenswine's all-powerful monster.

Seeing this as a ticket to money and power, Wilshire successfully brings a reluctant Sheldon along by convincing him that all he wants is the tote bag and not the monster. When the two protagonists arrive at the castle, they are cordially invited in by a green monster who mistakes Wilshire for Dr. Jekyll and Sheldon for Mr. Hyde. The protagonists find that a Halloween Monster Convention is being held inside the castle and that no non-monster mortals, especially themselves, are allowed. After a series of mishaps, such as unsuccessfully demonstrating at a science demo, the protagonists come across Wilshire's dead grandmother, who finds out that they are still alive and sounds an alarm to inform the other monsters.

With their cover blown, Wilshire and Sheldon make a run for it. While running away from the monsters, they find a pay phone, and Wilshire hits it to check for any loose change, until finding a medallion not unlike the one Sheldon found earlier. The protagonists then fall through a trapdoor and find themselves in the lab of Frankenswine. Wilshire and Sheldon find the monster, about the size of Wilshire's thumb, lying dormant. A drop of a magical blue elixir falls on the monster's head, bringing it to life. Another drop of elixir makes the monster grow larger and more vicious, but before they can add any more, the other monsters start to break in, causing the protagonists to accidentally knock the diminutive monster into a floor drain.

Confronted by the other monsters, Wilshire pours more elixir down the drain, allowing the monster to grow large enough to destroy the castle within, scaring off the other monsters and forcing them to escape, leaving Wilshire positioned on top of the monster's head. After using up the last of the elixir, Wilshire sings "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and has the now-gigantic monster take its first steps, ignoring Sheldon's protests. Before the song reaches the climax, Wilshire finds Vince flying on the rocket, buzzing around the monster's head until it punctures its nose, causing it to deflate to its original size, much to Wilshire's dismay. With Vince trying to re-inflate the monster with a bicycle pump, Sheldon announces that he has found the tote bag, which Wilshire pushes off in rejection, unaware that inside of it was another bottle of elixir. During the credits sequence, the elixir can be seen spilling into the ground.

After Rocko's house was launched into space, Rocko, Heffer, Filburt and Spunky have been adrift for 20 years doing nothing but watching old videos of ''The Fatheads'' episodes. Passing by Earth, Filburt realizes that the remote controlling the rocket has been stuck to Heffer's butt all along. They use the re-entry button and land back in O-Town, which they find has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Heffer and Filburt quickly accept all the new customs and technology, but Rocko is overwhelmed and secludes himself in his house. Bev Bighead comes to welcome Rocko back to Earth; when asked by Rocko why he can't find ''The Fatheads'' on TV, she explains the show has been off the air for many years, much to Rocko's horror.

Meanwhile, Ed Bighead makes a clerical error due to a mishap caused by Rocko's re-entry. As a result, Conglom-O enters bankruptcy, along with all of O-Town. Ed is fired and his house is slated for demolition the next day. At Rocko's suggestion, the two return to Conglom-O and convince Mr. Dupette to bring back ''The Fatheads'', claiming a revival will make enough money to save the company. Dupette accepts and rehires Ed, but then orders the Chameleon Brothers to direct a CGI-animated special. Convinced this new direction will ruin ''The Fatheads'', Rocko decides to find the original creator Ralph Bighead, who left on a journey of self-discovery years ago. Using a couch attached to a drone, he, Heffer and Filburt travel the world searching for Ralph, but their battery runs out and they crash-land in the desert. There, they find Ralph, who has since come out as transgender and is now Rachel, running a ''Fatheads'' ice cream truck. Rocko begs Rachel to return to O-Town and bring back ''The Fatheads'', and she eventually accepts for her family's sake.

Meanwhile, Dupette is displeased with the CGI ''Fatheads'' special and hires Rachel to take over when Rocko returns with her. However, Ed doesn't accept Rachel's transition. He gets angry and rejects his new reality, forcing him to leave his job and leaving Conglom-O and all O-Town citizens in jeopardy. Rocko tries to fix the entire ordeal, which Ed shouts "Why don't you go back to the 90's where you belong?" Rocko departs feeling guilty for further ruining things, mainly Rachel and Ed's relationship.

Bev insists Ed to move on from his transphobia, to which he clarifies his anger being directed around everything changing. After Rachel reflects on fond memories of her parents, and inspired by Rocko's validation of her work and identity, she begins working on a new special. Rocko finds Ed in his now demolished house and the two discuss their shared fear and resistance to change. The Winds of Change shows up to lecture them about how change is the key to happiness. Rocko then receives a phone call from Heffer and Filburt informing him that the ''Fatheads'' special is complete and about to premiere at Conglom-O. He drags Ed to the premiere and the two begin to watch, only to discover that Rachel has added a new character to the show: a baby Fathead. Everyone but Rocko loves the new character, leading the special to make billions of dollars, and Ed, seeing the influence of their family life in the special, reconciles with Rachel.

Rocko angrily states his disapproval of the special, believing it to be too different from the original ''Fatheads'', but Ed convinces him that change is a part of life and should be embraced, which Rocko then accepts. The rocket that launched Rocko's house suddenly crashes into the Conglom-O building, launching it and Dupette into space, and the money earned rains down on the crowd, saving the town. Filburt reunites with his wife and family and Rachel and her parents leave for a new life together in the ice cream van.

Nazi cultist Wilhelm Brücke arrives with his team and takes them hostage. He reveals that he knows how to use the gate, and forces Professor Langford to go through the gate with them. Catherine overpowers her guard and seeks the help of her friends Captain James Beal and Wasif, an Egyptian serving in the British army, convincing them to go through the gate with her to rescue her father.

They arrive in a temple in a desert on planet Abydos. It is controlled by Aset, a demi-god, who was resurrected by Ra and rebelling against him. There, they fight with Aset's female guard Serqet before meeting a young native named Kasuf. Catherine tries to activate the Stargate to return home, but lacks the right combination of symbols on the dial-up device. Brücke shows Aset a Nazi propaganda film and makes a deal with her that he will take powerful metal, named Nagada, back to Earth in exchange for thousands of slaves, "undesirables" to the Nazi regime, for her fight to overthrow Ra. Aset alienates the local tribesmen, her faithful servants and demands one of them fight Brücke's soldier Stefan to death to "prove their worth". After Stefan is close to defeat, Brücke kills him and the local man fighting him. This causes Eva, Brücke's camera operator to question the morality of her boss.

Befriended by the native tribesmen, Catherine is taken to a hidden cave and shown the symbols which activate the stargate from that end. Encouraged by Langford who has been interpreting, Aset breaks with Brücke who is killed by Eva, takes pity on Langford and Catherine and wipes their memories. She also brainwashes Kasuf to return to his people as their new leader and Catherine to assemble a team of people who will return to the planet and overthrow Ra. Ra, informed by Serqet about Aset's defiance (including her illegal harcesis child), arrives, sends Serqet to capture Catherine and her father, brainwashes Wasif and his Abydonian friend Motawk to become his guards and destroys the temple together with Aset. Captain Beal activates the Stargate and sends both Professor Langford and Catherine back home, but is killed by Serqet.

Back on Earth and having no memory of their adventures since before the Nazis arrived, Langford and Catherine wrap up their investigation of the Stargate as the US takes possession of it. Catherine wonders about the nugget of strange metal in her possession and knows she'll be dealing with the stargate again.

Universe

The main storyline of Life is Feudal: MMO followed two events: the plot of the mysterious divine intervention which has led to an instant disappear of the greatest empire known to the World – the Vulpic Empire and a constant memory black out of its citizens, followed after that incident. Still, due to some extraordinary reasons, beliefs and religion of people managed to make it through all stages of cataclysm. According to the official lore, the world of mortals, Sparksvaard, rests upon the branches of the World Tree. The overall Creator of it happens to be unknown. One day Svefnii, the Sleeping God, the one who blamed for starting the cataclysm, will awaken and plunge the universe into the new chaos, which will leave nothing behind and is going to be the end of the known world. The World Tree is a tree of immense size. The worlds of Elgverden – all the worlds of the inhabitable universe – are borne upon its branches. It is believed that the branches of this tree can be seen in each of the worlds, but at the very least, they can be seen in the world of people, Sparksvaard. One of the branches has been found at Abelle – the successor of the Vulpic Empire. Most of the survivors made it here, hoping to start a new society within the Realm. Therefore, the main objective of the game was to establish a kingdom which will not be inferior to the former one.

The film is based on a tale about a wealthy family in Saigon. It was the first horror film made in Vietnam.

Hannah (Weaving) is a veteran of the British army who is working as an investigator for the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). While drunkenly interrogating a member of the Young Irelander movement, Hannah loses his temper over the prisoner's refusal to identify his accomplices and strangles him. He is subsequently arrested and sentenced to hang.

Martin Feeney (Frecheville) is a former Connaught Ranger who served in Afghanistan and India and who is returning to Connemara, in the west of Ireland, in 1847. On his arrival home, the country is experiencing the worst year of the Great Famine. Feeney finds his mother has died of starvation and his brother has been hanged, having stabbed a bailiff during his family's eviction. Feeney stays with Ellie (Greene), his brother's widow, who is squatting with her three children in one of the few houses still standing, and makes plans to emigrate to America and take his brother's family with him. Before they can leave, agents of the local Anglo-Irish landlord and members of the RIC arrive to remove them from the cottage. During the eviction, the house roof is destroyed, Feeney is arrested and his nephew is killed. Feeney is brought for interrogation by the RIC but manages to kill his captors and burns down their barracks. He returns to the house to find his sister-in-law and her daughter have died of exposure following a snowfall.

The destruction of the barracks draws the attention of British authorities, who suspect Feeney is responsible. Feeney is revealed to have deserted the Rangers in Calcutta and Pope (Fox), an arrogant British officer, is assigned to apprehend him with the aid of Hannah, who served with Feeney in Afghanistan. Hannah is compelled to assist in the hunt with the promise he shall be spared the noose, although his feelings are conflicted as Feeney saved his life during the war. They are joined by the young idealistic English private Hobson (Keoghan), and later hire Conneely (Rea), a knowledgeable local, to act as an Irish translator. They track Feeney as he hunts down those he blames for the deaths of his family: a local rent collector, the judge who sentenced his brother, and a Protestant preacher who is inflicting Souperism by offering soup to the starving on condition they convert.

Pope's group catch up with Feeney at the home of Cronin (McArdle), the land agent who oversaw his family's eviction, but he escapes after Hobson fails to shoot him when he has the chance. Reasoning that Feeney's next target is the landlord, Lord Kilmichael (Broadbent), the group travels to the estate house to warn him. Putting a large bounty on Feeney's head and surrounding himself with armed police, led by the violent Sergeant Fitzgibbon (Dunford), Kilmichael vows to accompany his grain harvest to the railway station, where it will be shipped abroad. Outraged by the sight of people starving outside the gates, Hobson threatens a policeman's life to allow the starving people crowded outside the guarded gates to enter for food. Although Hannah and Pope try to reason with him, Hobson is shot dead by Fitzgibbon and the police. Kilmichael, accompanied by the armed police and the remainder of Pope's posse, stays at an inn en route to Dublin. Feeney attacks in the night but falls for a trap set by Pope, who is sleeping in Kilmichael's bed. When Hannah cannot bring himself to shoot him, Feeney is able to again escape. As he flees, Feeney takes Lord Kilmichael as a hostage and Hannah is arrested by Fitzgibbon.

The following morning, after he refuses to speak under interrogation, Hannah is brought out to the yard to be summarily executed by firing squad but is saved when Feeney attacks. After the soldiers shoot him from his horse, they are stunned to find that they have instead killed Lord Kilmichael, who had been dressed in Feeney's clothes and mounted on his horse. In the chaos, the starvelings storm the yard and take the grain, a number of local bounty hunters turn against Kilmichael's men, and Hannah is freed by Conneely. Fitzgibbon shoots Feeney but is choked unconscious in a brawl. Hannah steals a horse and attempts to get the wounded Feeney to safety, but Feeney is shot fatally by Pope and dies shortly after their escape. As he is dying, he laments the fate of his family and his country and implores Hannah not to continue the fight, but to instead go to America as Feeney had once intended to do. Seeking vengeance, Hannah follows the badly wounded Pope as he returns to Dublin but stops at a fork in the road, where a group of people bound for America have gathered. Among them is Feeney's last remaining relative, his young niece. Pope rides down one path, as the emigrants start down the other. The film ends without showing which path Hannah takes.

Ralph, a famous screenwriter now in his seventies and terminally ill, revisits his moral principles and desires to die with dignity. He wants to reconnect with his estranged son, Michael. He also wants to make sure he does not become a burden to his loving, much younger wife Anna as he goes "into that good night."

Spencer Reinhard, an art student seeking excitement or tragedy for inspiration, is given a tour of Transylvania University library's rare-book collection; his eye is drawn to a rare first edition of John James Audubon's ''Birds of America''. He and his friend Warren Lipka, a rebellious student on an athletic scholarship at the University of Kentucky, discuss the possibility of stealing it and other rare books. They note that the collection is guarded by only one librarian, whom they believe they could easily overpower before stealing the books and escaping via the staff elevator. Warren travels to Amsterdam to meet black-market buyers who express interest, informing Spencer they could make millions. They later enlist the help of two friends: Eric Borsuk to provide logistics and Chas Allen as the getaway driver.

They make an appointment for a private viewing of the collection in order to gain access to the room, and arrive disguised as elderly businessmen; but they abort the heist when Warren sees multiple librarians in the room. Spencer wants to abandon the plan, but Warren persuades him and the others to try again the next day. Spencer acts as a lookout as Warren and Eric, without disguises, enter the library. Warren clumsily uses a taser on the librarian, making Eric help restrain her. They blunder to the exit, dropping ''The Birds of America'', but escape with two books.

The group travels to Christie's auction house in New York to get the authentication of value Warren said the Dutch buyers required. Spencer is told he has to return the next day and leaves his cell phone number with an assistant. Chas berates Spencer for using a phone number that can be identified as his, and they return to Lexington with the books. Shortly after, Spencer realizes the police will also be able to trace the email address they used to make the appointments with Christie's and the library; the FBI eventually does, and they are arrested.

In documentary interviews with the real-life thieves filmed years after they are released from prison, they express regret. Spencer suspects Warren lied about going to Amsterdam in order to convince the others to partake in the heist. Eric and Chas now live in California as a writer and a fitness coach, respectively; Warren studies filmmaking in Philadelphia; and Spencer lives in Lexington as an artist.

The series focuses on a cute anthropomorphic rabbit named Simon, who lives with his parents Andre and Eva and little brother Gaspard and a pet orange cat named Milou and they go on many adventures.

The film follows the story of Sawada (played by Satoshi Tsumabuki) joining a left wing magazine as a gonzo journalist in 1969. He is taken under the wing of the editor, and goes to interview Umeyama (Kenichi Matsuyama), who is developing a reputation as a radical - an activist intent on making a violent demonstration. However, Umeyama may not be exactly who he says he is. The film follows the two characters involvement in the political activist world of 1960s/70s Japan.

Troublemaker Billy Forsetti falls for the beautiful Jennifer. But when a carjacking takes a turn for the worse, Billy finds himself in for trouble.

Kan and Sato, husband and wife who have just bought a restaurant as their lifelong dream, lose it overnight when it is burnt down by accident. Following the loss of their restaurant, the couple take jobs at a high class established eatery to start saving their money again for a new establishment. In a drunken state, Kan spends the night with a woman who happens to have just been paid off as the mistress of a man that dies. The woman feels sorry for Kan after hearing about his story, and gives him the money. The wife, though disturbed by hearing of her husband being unfaithful, is inspired to hatch a plan, through desperation, to pimp out the husband to obtain money to buy a new restaurant. The couple use their new work place, frequented by single women looking for partners, as a base to meet prospective victims. Their first victim is prim and proper Satsuki (Lena Tanaka), who still lives in the family home and is under enormous pressure from the family to marry, but the couple do not stop with her. The film follows the drama of the couple's misadventures and tragedy, as the couple plan to marry the husband off to a series of women, conning a series of lonely, vulnerable and weak women out of their hard earned cash, with a range of sympathy stories, with the wife often befriending the victims by posing as a sister of the husband.

The couple focus on weightlifter, Hitomi (Yuka Ebara), prostitute Kana (Tamae Ando) 31-year-old office lady Satsuki Tanahashi (Rena Tanaka) who lives with her parents, lonely office lady Reiko Mutsushima (Sawa Suzuki) and single mom Takiko Kinoshita (Tae Kimura). However, cracks appear in the plan as the husband starts to fall for some of the victims, and starts to get involved in their lives. He also starts to resents the wife's role in the plan, and the fact she does not care about the women, even though he himself is defrauding them.
Though the couple accumulate money and start to put their dream kitchen together, the couple's own relationship starts to unravel due to the pressure. The husband starts to extricate himself from their lives, while sympathetic, he still takes their money. However, while removing himself from most of the victims’ lives, he starts to eventually fall for one victim in particular who has a son who he takes to, and starts to integrate himself into their life. Eventually, one of the women hires an investigator (played by Shōfukutei_Tsurube_II), who finds and confronts him. The husband's fraud is found out, while the wife flees and the restaurant is finished but never used.

The world of ''Shadow Fight 2'' takes heavy inspiration from classic Far East culture, primarily China and Japan. Every time the player enters the game, they are presented with an animated cutscene that explains the backstory of the protagonist, "Shadow", who also serves as the narrator. Shadow explains that he was once a legendary warrior, renowned for never losing a battle. While seeking a worthy opponent, he accidentally opened the Gates of Shadows, a pathway to another realm, unleashing six powerful demons into his world. The demons destroyed Shadow's physical body, reducing him to a faceless silhouette, and went on to bring mayhem and destruction into the world. Now, Shadow feels obligated to defeat the demons. To seal back the Gates, he must retrieve the ancient Seals they are guarding and use them and atone for his mistake.

The game is structured into multiple chapters, or "acts", each revolving around one of the demons Shadow must face:

• Lynx, the leader of an assassin group called The Order
• Hermit, a powerful wizard and warrior who opened his own school
• Butcher, the leader of a juvenile gang
• Wasp, the leader of a pirate crew and self-proclaimed "Pirate Queen"
• Widow, who can seduce virtually any man with her charms
• Shogun, a disgraced ''rōnin''-turned-warlord

Throughout his journey, Shadow grows more powerful by taking part in various battles and regularly upgrading his equipment to stand a better chance against the demons. He is accompanied by several allies who offer him support and advice, including his old Sensei, a blacksmith named May, and later a conman named Sly. Eventually, Shadow succeeds in defeating all the demons and taking their Seals, before returning to the Gates of Shadow to permanently seal them. The six demons band together to try and stop him, but Shadow overpowers them and closes the Gates. However, before they are fully closed, Titan, the ruler of the Shadow World, emerges from the other side and kidnaps May. Then the 'Interlude' begins. Left with no other choice, Shadow battles each of the demons one final time to destroy their Seals and temporarily reopen the Gates. He succeeds and ventures into the Shadow Realm all by himself.

Immediately upon arrival, Shadow is attacked by Shroud, a servant of Titan. Weakened by his travel through the Gates, Shadow is almost killed, but Kali, a member of an underground resistance that opposes Titan's reign, rescues him and takes him back to the resistance's hideout. There, the resistance's leader, Cypher, informs Shadow that Titan is, in fact, an alien warlord who has conquered many worlds, including this one, and is planning to invade Shadow's world as well. The resistance is made up of numerous aliens whose worlds were conquered by Titan, and Shadow proceeds to earn their respect by defeating them all in combat. Cypher also fights Shadow and, impressed by his skills, remarks that Shadow might be the warrior prophesied to defeat Titan. He then has Kali take him to meet the Ancient, a powerful being who has trained many warriors (including Shroud) and whose kind was exterminated by Titan. To find the Ancient, Shadow must first locate and defeat Cronos, a robot created by Cypher for this purpose, which eventually turned rogue. Using Cronos's tracking technology, Shadow and Kali find the Ancient, who is initially reluctant to help, but eventually comes to believe in Shadow's powers after he passes all his tests, consisting of fights against the spirits of fallen warriors and Ancient himself.

The Ancient disguises Shadow as one of Titan's soldiers and suggests that he get close to Titan by participating in a tournament held to determine the newest member of Titan's elite forces. Halfway through the tournament, Shadow is called back to the resistance hideout, which has been attacked by Shroud and another warrior, Justice. He defeats Shroud and is confronted by Justice, revealed to be a brainwashed May. After May is captured by the resistance, Shadow and Kali head to Titan's Citadel, where Shadow defeats Titan's bodyguards, all of whom are dark alternate versions of himself. Meanwhile, Ancient leaves the Shadow World to "fight a war" elsewhere. May escapes and arrives to kill Shadow, but he defeats and frees her from Titan's control. While Kali takes May back to the Gates of Shadows, Shadow and Titan engage in a final battle. Once Titan is defeated, his body explodes, destroying the citadel. Shadow is caught in the explosion, but survives and manages to return to the Gates before they are destroyed, regaining his physical body in the process. Shadow is reunited with May, and the two embraces before walking away, unaware that they are being followed by a shadow that has survived the Gates' destruction.

Old Wounds

''Old Wounds'' is a bonus storyline exclusive to the Special Edition of the game that explores Sensei's backstory, including his encounters with younger versions of the six demons. The battles featured in this mode cannot be replayed.

One day, Sensei runs into the Prince of Ivory City, who is being pursued by Lynx. After Sensei chases Lynx away, the Prince explains that he was kidnapped from his palace by unknown assailants, but managed to escape. When he was kidnapped, the Prince overheard that his soldiers are undergoing training from Hermit, so he and Sensei go to confront him, convinced that he was involved in the Prince's men's betrayal. Hermit admits to betraying the Prince and hiring Lynx to kill him but claims he only did so for his school's future. Sensei fights and defeats Hermit, whereupon the latter reveals that the Prince's right-hand man, Shogun, ordered him to train his soldiers in exchange for protection from Butcher's gang. Hermit suspects are that Butcher's men are behind the Prince's kidnapping, so he and Sensei head to confront him. Butcher confirms that he kidnapped the Prince, but also reveals that the latter was aware of this all along and that the Prince had paid him to let him go and to tell him where to find a magical Sphere. Exposed, the Prince flees, leaving Sensei to fight Butcher. After defeating him, Butcher points Sensei to the docks where the Sphere is about to be brought in by boat.

At the docks, Sensei is confronted by Wasp, who reveals that the Sphere was retrieved by someone the day prior before fighting him. After being defeated, Wasp tells Sensei that the mastermind behind all recent events is Widow, who seeks revenge against the Prince for rejecting her love, and has enchanted the Sphere so that anyone who tries to use its power will become her slave. Sensei finds and defeats Widow before persuading her to tell him where the Sphere is. Widow reveals that the Prince took it and used its power to defeat Shogun, whom he now plans to execute for treason. Sensei arrives in Ivor City, where the Prince, driven mad by power, orders a mind-controlled Shogun to kill him. Following Shogun's defeat, the Prince fights Sensei himself but is also defeated. The Ancient then arrives and explains to a confused Sensei that he has temporarily stopped the flow of time to take the Sphere back to where it belongs, and that its presence here was caused by the Gates of Shadows' instability. Before leaving, he ensures Sensei that no one, including him, will remember anything from these events by tomorrow.

The Save Greendale Committee members are traveling in Elroy's (Keith David) RV to deliver a large fiberglass hand purchased by Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) to its new owners. Due to the extra weight, Elroy miscalculates the vehicle's mileage and runs out of fuel. No tow trucks are available because of a local parade, and the group quickly begins arguing due to their predicament. Abed (Danny Pudi) tries to insert meta-commentary and to flashback to "three weeks earlier" in order to provide exposition for their situation, though these efforts irritate Jeff (Joel McHale).

Elroy discovers that both batteries are dead because everyone decided to charge their phones, leaving them trapped for the night. Despite their initial anger, the group members, except for Pelton, eventually apologize to each other. Abed tries to use flashbacks to warn the group about the issues of not starting the story three weeks earlier, to no avail. Pelton becomes upset over the group forcing him to sell his hand and leaves the RV. Abed joins Pelton with the giant hand on the RV's roof. As they sit there, the straps suddenly slip. Pelton panics, but Abed uses a flashback to imagine himself convincing the group to use thicker straps. This does not change the current situation, though, and the hand falls off the RV.

The rest of the group runs outside to see what happened, allowing Pelton to run into the RV and lock them out. Jeff encourages Abed to convince Pelton to let them back in, but Abed instead gets lost in more flashbacks. Frankie (Paget Brewster) then convinces Abed their current situation is itself a flashback, allowing Abed to imagine himself in the future and realize what he should do. Abed gives a speech about the meaning of a hand — to both hold on and let go — and Pelton is moved by the speech to let the others back in. The group decides to keep the hand for the school.

In the end tag, the buyer of the giant hand (Matt Besser) realizes he will not be receiving it. His wife (Danielle Schneider) argues his obsession with buying large items is why their son disappeared, and she indicates she will divorce him.

In Los Angeles, Audrey Stockman spends her birthday party upset after being unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend Drew via text. Her best friend and roommate, Morgan, convinces her to burn Drew's belongings and informs him also via text message. Unbeknownst to Audrey, Drew is a government agent, currently in Vilnius being pursued by armed men. He calls Audrey, promising to return for his things, including a fantasy football trophy.

At work, Audrey flirts with a customer who unexpectedly forces her into a van. Identifying himself as Sebastian Henshaw, he and his colleague Duffer reveal that Drew works for the CIA. Returning home, he arrives, and a sniper opens fire on the apartment. Telling Audrey to give the trophy to his contact at a café in Vienna, Drew is shot by a man Morgan brought home from Audrey’s party, whom she then pushes off the balcony. The friends escape as agents raid the apartment. Morgan convinces Audrey to deliver the trophy, and they fly to Vienna with a suitcase of decoy trophies.

At the café, Sebastian appears and demands the trophy at gunpoint. Audrey seemingly complies, escaping with Morgan when a shootout erupts, and outmaneuvers armed motorcyclists after their rideshare driver is killed. She reveals she still has Drew's trophy; on a video call with his MI6 superior Wendy, Sebastian realizes Audrey gave him a decoy. Russian assassin Nadedja is sent after the friends, who steal passports from another pair of travelers and board a train to Prague. The women discover that the football trophy contains a USB flash drive.

Morgan calls her parents, who tell her to stay with Roger, a family friend in Prague. At his apartment, Audrey discovers "Roger" is a spy who killed the real Roger, and he and Nadedja drug her and Morgan. They awaken in an abandoned gymnastics training facility, confronted by a couple who had masqueraded as Drew's parents. They reveal that Drew was negotiating to sell them the flash drive, with Audrey as his unwitting cover. She tells them that she flushed the drive down Roger’s toilet, and she and Morgan are left to be tortured by Nadedja, but Sebastian defies orders, arriving in time to save them.

They are brought to Wendy in Paris, explaining that the drive was flushed, and are given tickets back to the United States, while Sebastian is placed on leave. As he drives them to the airport, Audrey confesses that she hid the drive in her vagina. Morgan calls Edward Snowden – who had a childhood crush on her – and he helps them decrypt the drive, which contains a universal backdoor; the couple seeking it are the heads of the Highland crime syndicate.

The trio travel to a hostel in Amsterdam, where they are attacked by Duffer, who wants to sell the drive himself. He is killed by their hostel roommate, who assumes they were being robbed. Audrey responds to a text sent to Duffer's phone, agreeing to sell the drive at a private party in Berlin. She and Sebastian infiltrate the party disguised as the Canadian ambassador and his wife, and Morgan poses as a member of an acrobatic troupe. Sebastian is attacked, while Morgan climbs a trapeze and is confronted by Nadedja, but fatally impales her on an anchor.

Audrey meets the buyer, who is revealed to be Drew, still alive. He claims that Sebastian is working for Highland, as he arrives, held hostage by Drew's "parents". Drew kills them, and he and Sebastian accuse each other of betraying Audrey. Drew shoots Sebastian, and she pretends to be glad before grabbing Drew's gun. He attacks her, but is subdued by Morgan with a cannonball, and is arrested.

Sebastian survives, and Morgan uses his phone to call her parents, receiving a call from Wendy lifting his suspension. Morgan begs her for a job as a spy, while Audrey and Sebastian share a kiss. A year later, Morgan and Audrey celebrate Audrey's birthday in Tokyo; they are revealed to be on assignment with Sebastian, now all working as international spies.

Himalaya Roadies is a reality show based on the popular Indian TV show ''MTV Roadies''. The series is focused on young adults of Nepal seeking adventure.

In Okinawa, high school city girl Haruka Ozora has an extreme complex about her tall height comparison, while her cousin Kanata Higa (an Okinawan native) is very self-conscious about her short height and flat chest. She also begins to have second thoughts about quitting volleyball all together. However, with help from their experiences, the two girls decide to form a volleyball club at their school.

The opening scene starts with the gang taken to the prison for execution, with Inspector Chalapathi warning the prison's warden to be careful with them. An Indian Express Investigative Journalist Abhivyakti "Abhi" starts re-investigating the entire case, insisting that there had been no circumstantial evidence, no signs of fingerprints, no semen tests made to confirm the rape and murders. She starts with the local jewellery maker where he reveals that stolen ornaments were remade with him produced as false evidence in the court and that the witness from Singapore was also fake. She finds various secrets and confidential information, including not lodging an FIR and taking away the gang for 40 days torturing them. She meets a victim's parents, who say that no neighbor had seen them in the locality, nor they have seen the accused and further on asking why they believed it was them, they reply that police took the victims to them and explain how they committed the crime. She deducts that they were falsely framed on the virtue of being poor. After an initial failed attempt, she gets a chance to meet them, where they are shifted to another jail, specifically for execution. Here they meet innocent looking Umesh Reddy. The gang narrate "their part of story" to Abhi, accusing the police of using torture to frame them.

The gang explain their problems: Migrating to an unknown land, not having food to eat,living in the slums, begging for food,often turned down by many homes, thus forced to eat stray pigs. They soon find work as construction workers. When Dandupalya serial killings and rape occur, there is a considerable pressure on the Inspector for his failure to keep crimes in check though forces were increased. One night, after a late night movie show, the inspector spots two of the gang members (squint eyed and old man from Dadupalya1) and hits them when they fail to show the tickets. He then drops them to their slum. Next night, a murder and theft incident occur and the inspector comes to the site. The squint eyed steals a gold ring to cure his wife's leg hurt by an iron nail. He tries selling it to a local jewellery shop, just then the inspector arrives and hits him. That night, police forcefully take away the rest of the gang members to a secluded spot and torture them, including sexually assaulting the woman gang member. Finally, after 40 days, they agree to crimes "which they have not committed".

Abhi then prints an article accusing police of using force and false evidence. The inspector meets her and the rest follows the sequel

Alice Bell (Ruth Wilson) works as a sheep shearer on a farm where she gets along well with her fellow coworkers. When her father dies she quits her job as her father had told her that she would inherit his tenancy when he died. As she returns to the farm Alice begins to have vivid flashbacks involving her father, including his entering her bedroom, and his holding her in bed.

When Alice initially returns to the farm her brother, Joe, is absent. She settles herself there, but refuses to sleep in the main house as it triggers flashbacks. When her brother returns he is initially angry at her for showing up after their father is dead and after an absence of 15 years. However, he gradually warms to her, only to anger again when he discovers that Alice has applied to take over the tenancy of the farm.

Alice learns from the land agent that she has a good chance of having her tenancy accepted if she can repair the neglect incurred by her father and brother. Her efforts to repair the land and kill the rats are met with resistance by Joe, who feels that she will upset the delicate ecosystem of the farm (for example, the rats share the barn with fledglings who he thinks would come to harm). Begrudgingly they begin to work together, though Joe continues to chafe at Alice's way of doing things. Alice starts to train the dog Joe bought but didn't train.

Joe is approached by one of the land owners of the farm who secretly reveals that the farms are no longer profitable and that tenants who agree to be bought out will receive a cash lump sum of £100,000. Knowing that Alice would refuse a buyout, the man suggests to Joe that if he were awarded the tenancy he could evict Alice and keep the money. Joe decides to go along with the scheme and tells Alice that if he is awarded the tenancy he will evict her. Alice is shocked as she planned to keep Joe on if she was awarded the tenancy.

Feeling guilty, Joe attacks Alice's car in a drunken rage, trying to light it on fire. Alice has him arrested. While Joe is away she fumigates the house and has a flashback remembering her father reacting in a jealous rage after Joe told him that Alice had a boyfriend.

Joe is put on probation and returns. Nevertheless, he is awarded the tenancy. Alice discovers Joe preparing to sell all the sheep and tries to get him to stop. In the middle of their dispute Joe shoves Alice and she hits her head. Joe brings her back to her childhood room to recover. When Alice wakes up the two discuss her sexual abuse at the hands of their father for the first time. Joe asks her why she would sometimes go to their father's room and she reveals that waiting for him to rape her was the worst part. She then asks him why he never tried to stop their father to which he has no answer. Their conversation coincides with Alice's eviction. Joe, ashamed, confesses to being bought out. In the middle of their argument a loose dog attacks and eats one of their sheep. Alice goes after the dog with a gun, and has a PTSD induced flashback which results in her accidentally shooting and killing their neighbour. While Alice is wracked with guilt and has a breakdown beside the body, Joe decides to turn himself in, claiming that he committed the murder.

Sometime later Alice visits Joe in prison where she brings him a piece of a plant he had mentioned to her earlier. They sit in silence until Alice asks Joe if she can come again and he tells her to do so.

Her most recent is to her childhood friend Josh, who was dating her older sister Margot until Margot broke up with him before she went off to college. Lara Jean always had a crush on Josh but decides it would not be okay to date him. One night, Lara Jean falls asleep on the couch while hanging out with her little sister, Kitty, who sneaks into her room and finds her collection of letters. The following Monday at school, Lara Jean is confronted by a former crush, Peter Kavinsky. He received the letter she had written him, causing her to faint. After waking up, she sees Josh approaching with his letter, and in a moment of panic, Lara Jean kisses Peter to throw Josh off before running away.

Lara Jean then encounters another recipient of a letter, Lucas, who is gay, as she begins to realize that all the letters have been mailed out. She later left her house to avoid both Josh and Peter, but the latter appears at her favorite diner. She explains that the kiss was merely to dissuade Josh. Peter is surprisingly okay with this, and proposes that he and Lara Jean fake date to make his ex-girlfriend (Lara Jean's ex-best friend and nemesis) Gen jealous. She agrees, and the next few months go by with the whole school, along with their respective friends and families, believing they are dating.

When Peter finds that Gen is actually jealous, he is himself conflicted. At the same time, Lara Jean finds herself jealous. On the school ski trip, Lara Jean and Peter confront each other about their true feelings, ending up kissing while alone in a hot tub. At the end of the trip, Gen tells Lara Jean that Peter spent the night in her room after the kiss, taunting Lara Jean with her scrunchie Peter let her take, Lara Jean's favorite. Furious, she breaks up with Peter and storms home, where she finds Margot has returned from college. Peter then comes, hoping to explain that nothing happened between him and Gen, but Josh arrives as well. Margot overhears everything, and is upset when she learns of Lara Jean's former feelings for Josh. Things are worsened when, after Lara Jean asks Peter to leave, she sees that a seemingly pornographic video of her and Peter in the hot tub has been put up on Instagram.

Lara Jean asks Margot for help, who calms and comforts her. Kitty then reveals she sent the letters. Lara Jean is enraged, Margot calms her down, and makes her realize she may have wanted to send them but was too afraid to, and the sisters forgive each other before getting Instagram to take down the video. After Christmas break, Lara Jean discovers that everyone at school knows about the video. Peter tells everyone that nothing happened. When Lara Jean confronts Gen about it, she admits she tried to sabotage their relationship as she felt betrayed that Lara Jean kissed Peter during spin the bottle four years ago. Talking with her dad, she reevaluates her relationships, becoming friends with Josh again. When she hesitates to tell Peter about her real feelings, Kitty shows her notes that he wrote during their 'relationship'. Lara Jean goes to see Peter, and he tells her that he is in love with her. They kiss before walking off together.

In a mid-credits scene, John Ambrose McClaren, one of the five recipients of Lara Jean's letters, arrives at her door with flowers in hand.

Luke Hemsworth is Wild Bill Hickok, legendary lawman and gunslinger, who is assigned with taming the wildest cow-town in the west. Hickok's reputation for his style of frontier justice is then put to the ultimate test.

Set in the "sybaritic if somewhat torpid atmosphere of the Ottoman Empire", ''The Palace of Dreams'' is, according to his own statement, a realization of Kadare's long-term dream to construct a personalized vision of hell, devised as a modern counterpart to Dante's ''Inferno'', and usually likened by literary critics to Kafka's, Orwell's, Zamyatin's, and Borges' similar literary inventions.

Mark-Alem is a twenty-something (by the end of the novel, 28) Ottoman Albanian, a descendant of the (real) influential Köprülü family during the period of its greatest dominance. At the idea of his uncle, the Vizier, who holds the position of Foreign Minister, Mark-Alem is offered a job at the mysterious and feared Tabir Sarai, a government office responsible for the study of dreams. Even though inexperienced, on the back of a "recommendation that hangs between menace and patronage ('You suit us ...')", he is hired in the "Selection" section of the Palace, where his obligations include making a longlist of interesting dreams and draft-interpretations of the more striking ones. These are then transferred to the more skillful interpreters in the "Interpretation" section, whose job is to make a shortlist for the master-interpreters at the "Office of the Master Dream", which, using much more than experience and dream dictionaries, chooses and decodes the symbolism of the most emblematic master-dream and relays its message to the Sultan at the end of each week. Since dreams are considered to be messages by God, it is believed that these master-dreams hold the answers to the future of the empire, and can help in averting misfortunes and nullifying possible threats.

As he rapidly climbs – to his own amazement – the hierarchical ladder within the Tabir Sarai in record time, Mark-Alem gradually realizes that the labyrinthine Palace holds many secrets and exerts much more influence than publicly acknowledged, ranging from holding subversive dreamers responsible for the products of their unconsciousness to torturing them and being responsible for the demise of whole families based on dream symbolism – something which, essentially, gives the one who controls the Palace an almost unlimited power. An allusive dream he encounters while still a dream selector will eventually prove to be directly connected with the Köprülüs, supposedly disclosing them as Albanian dissidents within the Ottoman government, and resulting in a bloody clash between the supporters of the Sultan and the Vizier, with the confused Mark-Alem caught in the middle, unaware of the extent of his guilt, responsibilities, and even identity.

In the resolution, one of Mark-Alem's uncles is executed, but his uncle the Vizier and the family survives with increased power; he himself is raised to the head of the Tabir Sarei.

A young Yeti escapes from a compound in Shanghai owned by wealthy businessman Mr. Burnish, who intends to use him to prove the existence of yetis to the world. Meanwhile, teenager Yi lives with her mother and Nai Nai (grandmother) in an apartment building. She leads a busy life, and neglects to spend time with her family and her friends, basketball fan Peng and his tech-savvy and popular cousin Jin. Yi is also a violinist, but has not played since her father's death, as he was a violinist, too.

One evening, Yi encounters the Yeti near her cubby house on the roof of her Shanghai apartment building, and names him "Everest". While hiding him from Burnish Industries' helicopters, Yi gains his trust by feeding him Baozi and treating his wounds. Yi learns that Everest wants to reunite with his family on Mount Everest, while Everest learns about Yi's desire to travel across China - something her father had always wanted. When Burnish Industries' private security forces close in on Everest' hiding place, Everest flees with Yi. After narrowly escaping a Burnish helicopter at the Oriental Pearl Tower, Yi and Everest flee on a ship carrying red cola cans, followed by Peng and a reluctant Jin.

Yi, Everest, and the boys reach a port in southern China and travel on a truck. After their crate falls off the truck, they end up in a forest. There, Everest awes the humans with his mystical powers of stimulating growth among blueberry plants. Meanwhile, Mr. Burnish and zoologist Dr. Zara continue the hunt for Everest. Following Everest and his human friends' trail, they catch up with them in the Sichuan region, where Everest uses his power to cause a plant to grow to a gigantic size. While Yi, Everest, and Peng manage to escape on the wind-blown shoot, Jin is left behind and captured by Burnish Industries' Goon Leader.

Despite Dr. Zara's pretense of caring for animals, Jin learns that she is planning to hunt down the yeti to sell it. He also learns that the seemingly cold-hearted Mr. Burnish has a soft spot for animals, including Dr. Zara's pet albino jerboa Duchess. He manages to escape the camp, and pursues the others on foot. Meanwhile, Yi, Everest and Peng reach the Gobi Desert, where they befriend several tortoises, who gratefully accept their giant shoot. Later, they travel to a town on the banks of the Yellow River, where Burnish Industries corners them. Peng helps them escape by unleashing a yak stampede. With the help of Jin, they escape across the Yellow River to a field of yellow flowers, which Everest causes to move like waves, creating more distance from their pursuers.

Continuing their journey, which Yi realizes echoes her father's dream trip exactly, the humans and Everest eventually reach the Himalayas. While crossing a bridge, they are trapped on both sides by Burnish Industries' forces. However, Mr. Burnish experiences a change of heart after seeing Everest protecting the children, causing him to experience a flashback to his first encounter with a female yeti, which was protecting her young. Still seeking to sell Everest, Dr. Zara injects Mr. Burnish with a tranquilizer before tranquilizing Everest as well. When Yi tries to protect Everest, Dr. Zara throws her over the bridge, then departs the mountain with the captive Everest, Peng, and Jin in tow.

However, Yi manages to cling on to a rope. She then uses her violin, which Everest has magically repaired, to summon ice. This reinvigorates Everest, who breaks free of his cage. Dr. Zara attempts to kill Everest and sell his parts instead, but the avalanche she causes knocks her and the Goon Leader off the cliffside to their demise.

To protect Everest and the yetis from humanity, Mr. Burnish agrees to help Yi, Peng, and Jin keep his existence a secret. Yi, Peng, Jin, and Everest continue the journey to Mount Everest, where they reunite Everest with his family.

Returning home to Shanghai with the help of Mr. Burnish, Yi spends more time with her mother, grandmother, Peng, and Jin.

Set in the year 2126, ''Lone Echo'' casts players in the role of an ECHO ONE service android nicknamed "Jack," aboard the Kronos II mining station orbiting Saturn. Jack serves under the command of the human crew member Captain Olivia Rhodes, who is to be reassigned by her employer "The Atlas Initiative", leaving Jack behind as the sole crew member of the facility. When a mysterious spatial anomaly knocks out some of the station's vital systems Jack and Olivia work together to repair the damage and investigate the mysterious phenomenon.

While the two investigate the anomaly, a massive unidentified ship appears and Kronos II is destroyed by flying debris. Jack is temporarily decommissioned. When Jack reawakens, he notices that Olivia is no longer on or around the station. In a message left in an emergency beacon, Olivia states that she had to abandon the facility due to power failures and loss of life support, and that she would take her chances aboard the unknown vessel. Jack follows her to the ship to find out if she's still alive.

On the way, Jack discovers a mysterious biomass formation that seems to be activated by nearby electrical currents and which absorbs anything that it touches while active. While travelling inside the unknown vessel, Jack encounters the ship's AI named Apollo, who needs Jack's help to repair some of the ship's functions and reawaken the ship's crew. Apollo explains that the ship, named the Astrea, was attacked and that the biomass spreading throughout the ship is a biological weapon used by the attackers. When Jack releases the crew from their stasis pods, he discovers that they are all human and members of the Atlas Initiative. However, all the crew members are deceased. Apollo informs Jack that, according to his records, Olivia Rhodes disappeared over 400 years ago, in 2126, and suggests that Jack is malfunctioning. Jack is certain that Olivia is still alive and somewhere in the ship, and convinces Apollo to help him. Eventually, with Apollo's help, Jack finds Olivia in the ship. Apollo recognizes Olivia as a member of the Atlas Initiative and promotes her as the new captain of the Astrea. Apollo concludes that the ship must have made a time jump that caused Olivia's disappearance in his timeline.

Jack and Olivia try to repair the ship's life support systems as Olivia's oxygen starts to run low, but eventually fail to pressurize their location due to many structural failures on the ship. They retreat to bridge, the strongest part of the ship, and try to repair the life support there. However, before Jack succeeds in repairing the systems, Olivia's oxygen reserves run out and she goes into a cardiac arrest. Jack uses a defibrillator until Olivia starts breathing again.

In the final event, the ship's reactor destabilizes and threatens to destroy the entire ship. Apollo suggests they attempt a faster than light jump to expend a large amount of energy that could stabilize the reactor. This could, however, lead to the ship making another time jump. With no other choice, Jack and Olivia prepare the ship for the FTL jump by destroying non-essential power systems and finally activate the FTL drive. After the jump, they find out that they are still in an orbit around Saturn, but 400 years in the future. Outside they see the aftermath of a battle that the Astrea was involved in before jumping back in time. A friendly rescue vessel contacts the Astrea and states that help is underway.

Over the course of the decade leading up to the summer of 1984, a total of thirteen teenage boys have disappeared in Cape May, Oregon but their disappearances have never been connected.

As the summer begins, fifteen-year-old Davey Armstrong, who works a paper route, initially enjoys carefree diversion with his friends, Dale "Woody" Woodworth, Curtis Farraday, and Tommy "Eats" Eaton. They spend their idle time in a treehouse on Eats' property, which he warns is in danger of being torn down by his belligerent father. They often fantasize about an attractive older girl neighbor, Nikki, who had previously been Davey's babysitter when he was younger.

When a local newspaper receives an anonymous letter from someone claiming responsibility for the boys' murders, Davey suspects that his neighbor Wayne Mackey, a popular police officer in their hometown of Ipswich, is the Cape May Slayer. Davey's friends reject this theory, on account of Davey's reputation for conspiracy theories and urban legends. However, when a boy Davey had seen inside Mackey's house appears on the back of a milk carton days later, they agree to help him investigate. Concurrently, Nikki begins visiting with Davey, confiding in him that her parents are divorcing and she will be leaving the neighborhood, and her mixed feelings about this major change.

The boys document Mackey's daily routine and discover many suspicious activities: Mackey regularly purchases gardening tools and bags of soil, brings a duffel bag to work everyday, and goes on late-night jogs. One night, Mackey witnesses Davey plant a walkie-talkie outside his window, leaving Davey worried that he is becoming suspicious. Woody and Farraday later discover a second vehicle and canisters of sodium hydroxide in Mackey's self-storage room, and Davey and Eats discover the bloodstained shirt of the missing boy in Mackey's garden shed. They present their evidence to Davey's parents, who are outraged at the boys, calling their investigation vandalism. Mr. Armstrong brings the boys to Mackey's house and has them apologize. Mackey expresses no hard feelings but Davey is grounded.

The next day, Mackey visits Davey's home and, having said that the boy who visited his home was his nephew, attempts to call his nephew as proof of his innocence, but the call is not answered. Davey discovers that Mackey dialed his own phone number. The following day, a suspect is arrested in the Cape May Slayer case, with Mackey the arresting officer. Disgusted, Davey makes plans to break into Mackey's home during the Cape May Festival. Farraday, who attends the festival as a lookout, discovers that the bags of soil were purchased for a city beautification project, and he and Eats abandon their posts.

Davey, Woody, and Nikki enter Mackey's home with Mr. Armstrong's video camera and explore a locked room in the basement, decorated to resemble Mackey's childhood room. They enter the bathroom and are horrified to find the missing boy's desiccated corpse in the bathtub, along with a still-living recent abductee. As they're escaping the house they see a wall of framed photographs, and they realize they're of the missing children, including a photo of Davey with his family. They present their footage to the Ipswich Police Department, who issue an APB on Mackey.

Mackey, secretly hiding in Davey's attic, abducts Davey and Woody in the middle of the night and abandons them in his cruiser on an offshore island, announcing that they are to play a game of manhunt. The boys flee into the wilderness as Mackey pursues them, but lose their footing on a corpse dump. Mackey slashes Davey's leg before slitting Woody's throat. He corners Davey but decides to spare him in order to leave him paranoid and constantly in fear of his return.

Rescued and returned to daily life after a hospital stay, Davey retraces his morning paperboy route: passing Woody's foreclosed house; seeing Nikki wave goodbye to him as her custodial parent drives her away; coming upon Eats and Farraday trashing the now-demolished treehouse, both of them avoiding his gaze; and Mackey's house, plastered with police tape. He unfurls a newspaper, the headline announcing that the Cape May Slayer is still at large.

Abed (Danny Pudi) films Garrett's (Erik Charles Nielsen) proposal to Stacy (Erin McGathy) in Jeff's (Joel McHale) law class. Abed continues filming events on the day of the wedding, starting with Britta (Gillian Jacobs) and Annie (Alison Brie) getting ready at their apartment. The other "Save Greendale Committee" members arrive to head over to the wedding, but Britta and Annie reveal they lied to them about the time to ensure they arrived early. With the extra time, the group parties and plays games until they realize they are behind schedule again and have to leave.

The group arrives at the wedding during the vows, and their loud and obnoxious entry draws notice. During the reception, Garrett's mother (O-Lan Jones) reprimands them for their behavior; the group agrees to be better guests and disperses to meet the other guests. After Garrett's brother (also played by Nielsen) relapses and is unable to provide the best man toast, Jeff volunteers to give it instead. He discusses the connections the group has found between Garrett's and Stacy's families, including the fact that Garrett's Aunt Polly and Stacy's meemaw are from the same town. However, when he invites Aunt Polly and Stacy's meemaw to the front, everyone realizes they are the same person, making Garrett and Stacy's marriage incestuous.

As the newlyweds discuss what to do, the committee members begin arguing and blaming themselves for the situation. Garrett announces that while marrying one's cousin is legal in Colorado, they have decided to annul the marriage. Chang (Ken Jeong) steps in despite the group's objections and gets Garrett and Stacy to admit they still love each other. He encourages them to stay married despite the challenges they will face, which they agree to do. The festivities resume, and the committee shares a group hug on the dance floor.

In the end tag, Briggs Hatton (Matt Gourley) explains to the audience that he has been researching incest and finds state laws on the topic inconsistent and outdated. He reveals that the show's writers allowed him to address the topic only if he identified himself as the writer at the end of the episode.

As part of an eco group, Scott, an ex-firefighter, Carla, a climate specialist, Barbie and Jason go to hang up an anti-oil advertisement banner on a large storage tank on top of a hill inside a Synco compound. They find a bomb on the tank, planted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and run away as it explodes. The explosion creates a fire twister which passes down to the town below causing a vast amount of destruction.

Two CIA agents start shooting at Scott and his companions; they run and manage to hide behind some trees. They find Anthony, a chief engineer at Synco, who confesses they have been making a new hydrogen fuel (MT-11), which was stored in the tank that exploded. He says this fuel burns for a long time and that the twister will keep getting bigger.

Scott's group and Anthony follow the twister in their car, into the town. They find the twister coming toward them, and jump out of their car as it is swept into the twister. The twister destroys a house and continues through the town. Scott and his group survive unhurt, but many other people have been injured. Scott rescues a woman from a tree; she then lets them borrow her car. The CIA agents re-appear, shooting at Scott's group as they drive off. Anthony surmises that the twister is attracted to heat. Scott phones a colleague from the fire service and gives him the information on the twister.

Mr. Garber, the Synco CEO, is interviewed by the press and blames the twister on Scott and Carla. A Synco employee speaks out on the news saying the fuel was only moved a couple of days ago, and that this tank wasn't rated to safely hold the MT-11 fuel. Garber speaks to V, one of the CIA agents, on the phone, instructing her to kill Scott.

The twister hits Los Angeles destroying many buildings and incinerating people alive. Scott follows the twister into the city. They see a car accident and get out to help, but it turns out to be a trap set by the CIA agents who take Scott and his group as hostages. Jason admits that the CEO of Synco paid him to get Scott to put the anti-oil banner on the tank so they could all be framed for the explosion. Jason grabs a gun off one of the CIA agents and buys time for Scott and his group to escape; he is then, killed by the agents. Anthony and Scott realize that Garber may have been placed at Synco by a rival company to sabotage the business.

Anthony hooks up some fuel canisters to the top of a car, and drives toward the twister, planning to destroy it. He sets off an explosion at the base of the twister, killing himself and making the twister bigger. Scott realizes that a large explosion would destroy the twister, so he works out a plan to attract the twister into an open area and set off a large explosion using C4 and a fire engine full of fuel. They turn the fire hoses into flamethrowers, creating heat to attract the twister.

A reporter sneaks into the Synco compound and sees the staff clearing everything out. She learns that Garber is behind the explosion and creation of the fire twister, and that he has been paid a much money to do it. Garber finds the reporter in his office, and kills her with a golf club.

Scott drives the fire engine toward the twister; Carla and Barbie use the flamethrowers to attract the twister toward them. They lure the twister to the Synco compound. The CIA agents defend the compound and shoot at Scott, but he drives straight past them into the compound, and the agents are killed by the following twister. Garber gets a helicopter so he can escape, however the helicopter is sucked into the twister before it can pick him up. Scott sets up the C4 and jumps out of the fire engine, and it explodes at the base of the twister, destroying it. An axe flies out of the explosion, killing Garber.

As Joe Paterno enters an MRI machine in November 2011 he recalls events in his life.

On October 29, 2011 Paterno wins his 409th game as head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions football team. During 61 years at Penn State University, he helped the former "cow college" quintuple its financial endowment and build Paterno Library. At the age of 84, Paterno is so beloved as "a coach, an educator, and a humanitarian" that a statue is outside Beaver Stadium, and so powerful that when university president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley asked Paterno to retire in 2005, he refused. Inside the stadium, Spanier, Curley, and vice president Gary Schultz worry about a grand jury investigating accusations of child sexual abuse against Jerry Sandusky, a retired assistant coach.

Six days after Penn State defeats Illinois, ''The Patriot-News'' reporter Sara Ganim learns that the grand jury's presentment also indicts Curley and Schultz. Although he is so traumatized by the abuse he suffered that he does not want his mother to read the presentment, high school student Aaron Fisher, known in Ganim's articles as "Victim 1", was the first to publicly testify against Sandusky. Rumors spread about "Victim 1"'s identity, and Fisher is attacked at school by other students, but his psychologist tells Ganim that Fisher and his mother repeated his story to many skeptical people to protect other children. Ganim and her editor discuss other allegations against Sandusky from 1998 and later, such as the rape of a young boy at the 1999 Alamo Bowl. They realize that the university has protected him for years.

Paterno's wife Sue and their adult children, including assistant coach Jay and lawyer Scott, are horrified by the accusations against Sandusky. They want to help the elderly Paterno, but do not understand why he continues to prepare for the upcoming game against Nebraska instead of reading the presentment. As reporters besiege Paterno's home, the coach tells his family that when a distraught Mike McQueary told him in 2001 about seeing Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy in the men's shower room on campus, he did his legal duty by telling Curley and Schultz. Paterno says that Sandusky's The Second Mile charity helped many children. Mary Kay Paterno asks her father why he waited two days to report McQueary's account — "You hear about someone diddling my kids? Don’t wait the weekend!" — and whether he followed up on his report.

Penn State students gather at Paterno's home to support the coach, who announces that he will resign as head coach after the football season. John Surma and others on the university board of trustees, however, force Spanier to resign and fire Paterno during a phone call. Ganim reports on a riot by students who denounce the media and cheer for Paterno. Sue and Joe Paterno discuss a Sugar Bowl during the 1970s, at which Sandusky played with their young children at a hotel pool while Paterno was preparing for the game. She presumes that her husband would not have let Sandusky do so had he known that he was a pedophile; he tells her "I was working. I wasn't focused on the goddamn pool". That night, however, he has a nightmare about the memory. Not on the sidelines for the first time since 1965, Paterno watches on television as Nebraska defeats Penn State.

Paterno is diagnosed with fatal lung cancer. Driving by the stadium after the MRI, he sees people next to the statue argue about Paterno's legacy. Another alleged victim tells Ganim that he told Paterno that Sandusky abused him in 1976.

The story follows thirteen-year-old Ming, who lives in Communist China during the 1970s.

Now in her final year of high school, Lara Jean Song Covey is excitedly looking forward to attending school with her boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky, at the University of Virginia (UVA). Peter has been accepted early on a sports scholarship for lacrosse. When acceptance letters come in, Lara Jean learns she has been rejected. After being wait-listed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Lara Jean briefly loses hope of attending college, but is eventually accepted to the College of William & Mary and decides to attend school there. When Peter suggests that they can visit each other every weekend and that after freshman year Lara Jean can transfer to UVA, she begins to consider it her primary goal.

At home, Lara Jean's father continues to date their neighbor, Trina Rothschild. When Margot returns home from university in Scotland with her new boyfriend, Ravi, Lara Jean's father asks all of his daughters for their blessing to wed Trina. The sisters all agree, though Margot, who has not seen the progression of her father's relationship with Trina, is less excited and accepting than her sisters and thinks it won't work.

As Lara Jean finishes high school and settles into her new routine, adjusting to time spent without Peter and to Trina's presence in her home, she learns that UNC has taken her off the wait-list and accepted her. Her best friend Chris urges her to take a spontaneous road trip to the campus to see what she will be missing out on if she sticks to her plan. Lara Jean falls in love with the campus and decides to go to UNC, despite the fact that it is even farther away than William & Mary.

Everyone is happy to hear Lara Jean's news, except for Peter. At graduation, Lara Jean's father announces that he will be sending Lara Jean and her sisters with their grandmother to Korea for a month in order to connect with their heritage. Lara Jean acts excited, but is secretly unhappy because it will cut into her dwindling days with Peter.

Lara Jean and her friends rent houses for Beach Week. While there, she decides to sleep with Peter for the first time.

Trina urges Lara Jean to reconsider and at her father's wedding, Lara Jean spots Peter and decides to approach him. She tells him that she loves him and she wants to continue their relationship, to which he agrees. She also tells him she didn’t mean what she said about neatly wrapping up their relationship by sleeping together; she wanted to do it because she genuinely loves him.

Despite not knowing what the future holds, Lara Jean and Peter decide to stay together. In Lara Jean's yearbook that Peter forgets to bring back, he writes a new contract between the two, echoing the contract drafted when they were fake dating in the first novel. The book ends with Lara Jean feeling confident that her relationship with Peter will last.

Zak, a young man with Down syndrome, escapes from a state-run care facility with the help of his elderly roommate, to train as a professional wrestler under the tutelage of his hero, the Salt Water Redneck. Meanwhile, Tyler, a man fired for bringing in illegal crab catches, decides to burn the gear of his rivals, Duncan and Ratboy, and flees himself.

While on the run, Zak and Tyler meet, and embark on a journey to the Salt Water Redneck's wrestling school in North Carolina. Zak's caretaker at the nursing home, Eleanor, embarks on a journey to find Zak and return him safely to the facility. Zak and Tyler become friends while travelling. Tyler teaches Zak various life skills, including how to use a shotgun, and eventually takes on the role of his coach, getting him in shape for his wrestling endeavors. They build a raft and begin traveling by water. Eleanor soon finds them, but after learning her boss intends to send Zak to a more severe form of confinement, joins them to travel south. That night, Duncan and Ratboy catch up with the trio, and Zak defends them with the shotgun.

When they reach Ayden, North Carolina, Tyler learns that the Salt Water Redneck has retired and closed the school, but convinces him to resurrect his alter ego for Zak. Salt Water trains Zak as a wrestler, and quickly puts Zak on a local fight card, which he believes he has rigged for Zak's safety and success. However, when the fight happens, Zak's opponent, Sam, does not hold back, and proceeds to beat him. As Tyler attempts to intervene, Duncan and Ratboy arrive, and Duncan hits Tyler on the head with a tire iron, knocking him unconscious right as Zak manages to lift Sam overhead and throw him forcefully out of the ring, something Salt Water had told him was impossible.

As young children being raised by a widowed mother, J. R. R. Tolkien and his brother Hilary receive help from a local priest, Father Francis, who must relocate them from their home to small apartments in Birmingham due to financial hardships. Their mother is supportive and loving, filling their minds with stories of adventure and mystery which she recites by the fireplace at night. She becomes ill, however, and one day upon returning home from school, Tolkien finds her slumped in her chair, dead. Father Francis becomes the boys' legal guardian, and eventually finds a kindly rich woman who agrees to take them in, providing them with room and board while they continue their childhood education. There, Tolkien meets Edith Bratt, the woman's only other ward. Tolkien is taken with Edith, whose piano playing he admires, and the two become friends.

At school, Tolkien immediately shows talent with languages, earning rough treatment from a rival classmate, Robert Gilson. When the two boys get into a fight, the headmaster—Robert's father—orders that they spend all of their time together for the remainder of the term. While both initially resent the assignment, Tolkien is soon accepted into Robert's small circle of friends, and the four—Tolkien, Gilson, Christopher Wiseman, and Geoffrey Smith—form a close friendship, the TCBS or "Tea Club and Barrovian Society", which grows with the years, even as they attend separate universities. Meanwhile, Tolkien continues his friendship with Edith, falling in love with her. Father Francis finds out about their relationship and recognizes that it is affecting Tolkien's grades, and so forbids him from pursuing her while under his guardianship. Tolkien is distraught, not wanting to lose the priest's financial support of his schooling. He relates the conversation to Edith, promising they will be able to be together when he reaches 21, the age of majority, but she instead ends the relationship.

Tolkien struggles at the University of Oxford, but attracts the attention of Professor Joseph Wright, a prominent philologist. Tolkien realises that language is his true passion, and enrols in Wright's class. When the First World War breaks out, he and his friends all enlist in the armed forces. Before Tolkien leaves, Edith returns and the two declare their love for each other. At the Battle of the Somme, Tolkien, suffering from trench fever, goes to look for Smith, convinced that he is calling him, but is unable to find him and collapses unconscious. He wakes in a hospital weeks later with Edith by his side, to find that Smith and Gilson have been killed; Wiseman survived but was traumatised.

Years later, Tolkien and Edith are married with four children, and Tolkien is now a professor at Oxford himself. The film ends with him inspired to write the famous opening line of ''The Hobbit''.

16-year-old Richard (Benjamin Kheng) grew up during a time when rock music was banned and long-haired men were considered gangsters. During his rebellious teenage years, Richard joins a singing group in school named The Wonder Boys, and embarks on his coming-of-age journey through youthful ambition, friendships and first love, all the while trying to have his music heard.

Isa, the 14-year-old first-person narrator, escapes from a mental hospital. She hitchhikes her way to a village where she steals food from a grocery shop. Whilst shoplifting the food she sustains laceration wounds. She spends the night in a cornfield and has a shower under the lawn sprinkler of a football pitch, where she does not go undiscovered as the football team finds her. An abandoned house then inspires her; she makes up a story, in which she is the protagonist, waiting for her husband to return from war.

Following this, she obtains unauthorised access onto a barge, after the captain initially denies her access. He bandages her feet and tells her his life story, in particular about a bank robbery from ages ago. After a promised nightcap and before the captain can notify the police at a water lock, Isa successfully escapes and she finds a bag belonging to a man who had killed himself.

Subsequently, we learn how she is followed by a boy who, according to a sign, is deaf-mute but who she nevertheless chats to because he does not want to let her go. She tells him a story of a dog who was abandoned on a Spanish holiday and who ran all the way back to Germany to his master. Then she describes several short scenes: a passer-by who gives her a sandwich; watching two homeless people and the encounter with a construction worker, who recognizes his first love in her.

Eventually, she notices a man mowing the lawn in his garden and offers him her assistance. The writer accepts and rewards her with some of his daughter's clothes. Along with the clothes, Isa also steals a satchel. In one of the rooms, she finds a gaunt woman with little hair left on her head, who apparently cannot tell Isa apart from her daughter Angela. Isa inconspicuously leaves the house through a window in the roof. On her way, she passes through a forest, where she unsuccessfully asks other hikers for food. Finally, she comes across a dead stag and a dead man from whom she takes a pistol and 50 Euros. The next night, Isa stays at a run-down hotel.

After that, she describes how she hitched a lift with an animal transporter. At a stop, the driver uncovers his genitalia, but that does not stop her from giving the pigs, which are being transported, fresh water.

She is then on foot once again and her journey this time takes her to a rubbish dump. There she finds a box for the pistol and the diary and meets two young people, whom she helps steal petrol from a car in a nearby petrol station. In exchange they take her with them in their car. At the end of the book, a scene in the mountains is described where she is standing near the edge of a mountain and shoots the pistol in the air and the bullet falls exactly back into the barrel.

The novel is divided into seven chapters, the first four of which ("A Death in December", "The Autopsy", "Fond Memories", and "The Fall") are narrated by an omniscient narrator, and the fifth ("The Guide") by a third person limited narrator (the dictator of the country, a thinly veiled portrait of Enver Hoxha). As the mystery behind the death – announced, in a characteristically simple Kadareian manner, in the novel's opening sentence ("The Designated Successor was found dead in his bedroom at dawn on December 14") – ostensibly closes to an inevitable resolution, the narration abruptly turns to first-person point of view, as each of the last two chapters is narrated by one of the novel's two most important characters: "The Architect" (who renovated the Successor's palace and was one of only few people who knew about its secret underground passage leading directly from the Guide's to the Successor's home), and in the "extraordinary [last] chapter", "The Successor", the already deceased title character.

Essentially a political thriller and a "whodunit tragicomedy", ''The Successor'' gradually moves away from speculating about the identity of the likely murderer – after juggling with the possibilities of him being a Sigurimi agent sent by Hoxha, a rising political figure called Adrian Hasobeu striving to become the Number 2, the Architect who once felt offended by the Successor's jokes, or even the Successor's wife who slept much too soundly during the murder – choosing instead to focus on the brutal effects a close-knit dictatorship may have on everyone forced to live under it, no matter how safe he or she may seem in the eyes of the outward observers. Possibly analysing his own controversial dual role as both a privileged writer and an internal dissident under the Hoxha regime, Kadare uses the figure of the Architect to explore the problem of artistic integrity in such circumstances, and the events of ''Agamemnon's Daughter'' are here recounted once again – this time through the eyes of the female protagonist, Suzana – as further evidence that even the most intimate feelings, such as love, may fall victim to political intrigues and the demands of the state, in cases when the individual is continually sacrificed at a more fundamental, systematic level.

During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel conquers and occupies large areas of land including the Sinai Peninsula which then (and now) belonged to Egypt.

On September 3, 1973, Ashraf Marwan meets Arab terrorists outside Rome International Airport, with a missile launcher that he smuggled into Italy in his suitcase. He tells the terrorists that he must leave immediately, as he is an Egyptian diplomat who cannot be discovered at the place of the attack, while the insurgents aim the launcher at a commercial airliner that is heading to Israel.

Three years earlier, in 1970, Ashraf lives and studies in London with his wife, Mona, the daughter of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and their son. Ashraf disagrees with Nasser on how to proceed in the Israeli conflict and suggests that Nasser prevent further bloodshed and try a diplomatic solution with Israel, with the US as a peace-broker. However, Nasser and his men fear this will lose them the support of the USSR. Realising the USSR is on its last legs, Ashraf insists Egypt cuts its ties with the Soviets. Nasser rebukes Ashraf, and afterwards urges Mona to divorce her husband, which Ashraf overhears.

Angry and embarrassed, Ashraf is further humiliated when he finds out that Nasser, on whom they are financially dependent, is having him followed when he goes out with friends, causing Mona to worry that Ashraf is having an affair with actress Diana Ellis. Frustrated, Ashraf decides to call the Israeli Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Michael Comay, to share important information. When the embassy refuses to connect him to Comay, Ashraf hangs up.

Soon after, President Nasser dies of a heart attack, and Ashraf and his family are recalled to Cairo. Vice President Anwar Sadat becomes the next president of Egypt. Ashraf wins Sadat's trust by uncovering high-level corruption within the Egyptian government, and slowly begins to climb the political ladder, eventually becoming an important political player in Egypt. His family life suffers from his political career although Ashraf finds time to read his son a bed-time story, The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Back in London, Mossad agents finally reach out to Ashraf, playing him a recording of his previous call to the Israeli embassy. Ashraf meets his Mossad handler, Alex, and begins to sell his country's secrets to the Israeli government. The information that Ashraf provides is initially reliable and Alex and Ashraf develop a mutual rapport, with Ashraf being codenamed "the angel." Eventually, however, Ashraf warns the Israelis on two occasions that Egypt will launch a military invasion, which never comes to pass. This puts a severe strain on his relationship with Mossad, who start doubting Ashraf's trustworthiness.

When Israel shoots down a Libyan commercial plane filled with civilians, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi wants vengeance, but Sadat is not willing to attack civilians. Knowing it will anger Gaddafi and the other Arab nations if Egypt does not support Libya, Ashraf comes up with a ploy to stabilize the situation. He goes to Gaddafi to pledge Egypt's support but makes sure that their retaliatory attack is not successful.

Back at Rome International Airport on September 3, 1973, Ashraf removes a pin from the missile launcher before giving it to the terrorists, making it ineffective. When the Israeli commercial airliner takes off, the launcher does not fire. Italian authorities, having been notified about the terrorists by Ashraf, apprehend them.

Having regained Mossad's trust, Ashraf informs Alex and Mossad chief Zvi Zamir about an imminent Egyptian invasion of Israel on Yom Kippur. However, Israel dismisses the warning as yet another false alarm, like the previous two warnings. It is then revealed that this was Ashraf's plan all along, inspired by the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Realizing that peace could only be achieved through diplomacy, not war, but also realizing Israel would not agree to peace talks while they had the military upper hand, Ashraf decided to pave the way for a short but successful surprise attack on Israel. A military stalemate between Israel and Egypt ensues in the Yom Kippur War, peace talks begin and the two countries finally broker a peace treaty which heralds a period of lasting peace and sees both Sadat and Menachem Begin receive the Nobel Peace Prize. At the same time, Ashraf's marriage to Mona ends as Mona, kept in the dark about Ashraf's plan, believes his frequent trips abroad and continued friendship with Diana Ellis - in actuality strategic parts of his mission - confirm that he is having an affair.

Years later, Alex meets Ashraf, gifts him a copy of Aesop's Fables and informs him that he has recognized the Boy Who Cried Wolf strategy. Ashraf responds that no matter what happened, if peace came out of it, everyone is better off.

An epilogue states that Ashraf died mysteriously in 2007 when he fell from the balcony of his London flat. He is the only man to be recognized as a national hero in both Israel and Egypt.

In Texas in 1981, Lorna (Gina Gershon) invites her friend Tiny (Kelli Giddish) over to talk about the recent bank robbery at the Waldorf Savings & Loan in nearby Red County. Tiny arrives to find Lorna's husband Dale (Val Kilmer) unconscious on the living room floor, Lorna having whacked him over the head with a skillet, and Lorna tells her that she knows that he was the bank robber. Tiny explains that just because Dale used to rob convenience stores doesn't make him fit to be a bank robber, but Lorna insists. As evidence, she shows Tiny the red dirt on Dale's boots and explains that Red County is known as such because of its red soil, and that Dale has no business being in Red County. Furthermore, the robber was reportedly wearing a stocking over his head and escaped with $100,000, and Lorna's only pair of stockings are missing. Lorna contacting Dale's location of employment, where she is informed that Dale had requested a transfer, and she figures that it was to skip town and avoid suspicion.

Lorna and Tiny bind Dale before waking him up and confront him about the robbery, accusing him of being the thief. Initially, he denies knowing what she's talking about, exclaiming that while he admits to a checked past, now he "flies as straight as a duck with two good wings." Lorna brings out a revolver that she found hidden under the floorboards, but Dale claims to have never seen it before and know nothing about either it or the robbery. He maintains his innocence even after she shoots a warning shot, but as she becomes increasingly threatening with the gun, Dale admits to having robbed the bank. He proceeds to elaborate on how he was waiting for the right time to tell her about it and that he had delayed because he didn't want to burden her with the details of the finances because she's a woman. When she asks him where he stashed the loot, he responds that it's in a safe place and that she'll just have to let him go so he can show her where he hid it. Incredulous at his attempt to be freed, Lorna discerns from Dale's constant glancing off the side that, in fact, he hid the money in the trailer, while he denies it in a most unbelievable way. While they argue about how dumb it was to hide the stolen money in their home, Lorna is waving the gun around and it accidentally goes off, shooting Dale through the head and killing him.

Both Lorna and Tiny are startled and nervous. Lorna takes some pills she gets from her purse and then lights a cigarette while they debate what to do next. Tiny starts dialing the police but Lorna convinces her that there will be no way to claim self defense when there's a man bound up in the middle of the room with a bullet in his head. Tiny tells Lorna that she could be in a lot of trouble, to which Lorna responds that Tiny is in just as much trouble because she was there while the murder was committed. Lorna recalls a story her father told her when she was young about some men who had experienced an industrial mishap and had gotten stuck under some mechanism in the oil fields and that by the second day, the Texas bug had not only killed them but made their bodies unidentifiable. They hatch a plan to bury Dale out in the oil fields where he can suffer the same fate.

Suddenly, they hear a vehicle approaching and it is the local sheriff (Ray Liotta). Lorna opens the door for the sheriff, who, aware of his past run-ins with the law, came to question Dale about the bank robbery. The sheriff sees Dale's station wagon parked by the side of the trailer and asks to come in, but Lorna denies the sheriff request on account of his lack of a warrant, explaining that Dale went for a walk, despite the intense heat. The sheriff walks back to his car, where we see him review his request for retirement form.

Tiny makes quick to get on with the plan, but Lorna explains that now that the sheriff is watching them, they can't very well leave the house carrying a dead body and bury him for the bugs to get to him. Tiny then suggests that they make a run for it, but Lorna explains that that'll just end with the police chasing them down, wherever they may be. Lorna remembers a recent Thanksgiving when she had to carve a 70 lb. turkey, and she takes out her electric carving knife and tells Tiny that her plan is to cut Dale up into tiny pieces in order to dispose of the body.

Lorna and Tiny get to work, dismembering Dale and using rust remover and a blender to destroy and liquify Dale's body, while Lorna mops the floor of blood and vacuums the trailer of remnants of Dale's organs. Getting rid of the body proves to be way more work than either woman bargained for, and so Lorna and Tiny try to burn it in the bathtub. By this time, the trailer is completely soiled with Dale's blood and it appears that there will be no way for them to avoid suspicion.

A man appears and breaks into the trailer through a back window and holds the two women at gunpoint. He is the private investigator that Lorna hired to track Dale, and he not only found out that Dale robbed the bank but also that he had been having an affair with Tiny. Now he's come to get his hands on the money, and he threatens the women to get to the cash. Lorna pretends to think about where the money might be hidden and tricks the private investigator into thinking that the cash might be stashed in the air duct between the walls. Knowing quite well that they had had a rat problem and that Dale had placed spring loaded rat traps in the ducts, Lorna gets the investigator to insert his arm into the air duct and feel around until he snaps a trap on his hand. While he's distracted by the pain, Tiny stabs him in the neck with a meat thermometer, and he dies. Tiny gets his gun and corners Lorna, figuring that Lorna now knew along that Dale had been cheating with her and had never intended to split the money with her. Lorna confirms this and gets Tiny to stand in a particular spot where she is able to bend down and literally pull the rug out from under her, knocking Tiny unconscious. Lorna retrieves the stolen money from a brown paper bag buried underneath her prize daisies in front of the trailer and makes off with the cash rolled up in her hair and covered by a kerchief, but not before cutting off her ring finger and leaving it on the floor with her ring as identification, making it seem like she had been killed as well and that the rest of her body had been similarly mutilated as Dale's had.

The sheriff finally shows up with his deputies and a search warrant and he kicks the door in to gain access when no one responds to his rapping on the door. When he enters, he sees Tiny on the floor near a gun and she begins to stir. After he shoots her dead, the deputies hear the gunfire and run in. The trailer is an absolute mess with blood and guts over every surface and the sheriff and the deputies remark about how gruesome it is and how they'll likely never be able to figure out what happened (this is rural Texas and prior to the advent of advanced crime scene investigation science).

The sheriff is then seen driving away and is met by Lorna, who it appears conspired with him to kill Dale and Tiny and make a getaway with the cash after he retires from the force and everyone else thinks Lorna died in the massacre in the trailer.

In Boston, assassin Mary Goodwin kills her target Marcus Miller in his apartment. Before leaving, she notices Marcus’ young son Danny in his room, oblivious to her presence. A year later, Danny – unaware Mary has been keeping an eye on him – is working for a drug dealer who calls himself Uncle. When a customer, Jerome, tries to short him, Danny pulls a gun and takes the full payment. He buys himself food and delivers the money to Uncle, who beats him for taking a portion of the money. Dazed, Danny rests on a bench, but a man steals his bag, forcing Danny to chase him and fire in the air. The thief drops the bag, but Danny faints and is found by Mary.

Danny awakens in Mary's home, and she offers him food and first aid. Noticing the marks from Uncle's abuse, Mary confronts the dealer, but she is forced to kill Uncle and his men. Leaving Danny at her apartment, Mary attends a meeting with her associates Tom, Walter, and their employer, mob boss Benny Spencer. They meet with Luka, who is Uncle's uncle and head of a rival mob, and assure him that they had nothing to do with Uncle's death. Mary encourages Benny's suspicion that Walter was responsible for eliminating Uncle and his crew, and Benny instructs her to kill Walter. Discovering Mary's cache of guns, Danny opens up to Mary about his life, unaware she is his father's killer.

Mary follows Walter on his routine jog and kills him. Luka sends his men to ambush Benny, killing several members of his crew. Determined to retaliate, Tom – Benny's son and Mary's ex-boyfriend – visits Mary's apartment and questions Danny. Tom tortures one of Luka's men, learning of an upcoming meeting of Luka and his crew, and Benny invites Mary to bring Danny to his wife Mina's birthday dinner. Buying Danny new clothes, Mary tells him about her similar childhood and coaches him on what to say to Benny, warning that he is not to be trusted. At the dinner, Mary tells Benny that she wants to leave her criminal life behind, and Tom confronts her, having deduced that Danny is Marcus’ son.

Mary tells Danny to start a new life elsewhere with her stash of money, should anything happen to her. Before Tom and Mary storm Luka's hideout, he warns her that Benny will not let her leave his crew alive as she knows too much. The two kill Luka's entire crew, but Mary is wounded in the attack and they fail to find Luka. Refusing Tom's help, Mary returns home and tells a shaken Danny that Benny will never release her. Danny goes to Benny's office – where he is spotted by Jerome, who works for Benny – and demands that Mary be allowed to move on, holding Benny at gunpoint. Having learned Danny's true identity from Tom, Benny tells Danny the truth about his father's death and takes the gun, but Mary appears. Sending Danny away, she pleads with Benny to let her go, but he cruelly refuses, declaring that she must train Danny as an assassin. Mary kills Benny and escapes unseen.

Tom learns from Jerome that Danny was the last person seen with Benny. Mary finds Danny and shares her remorse for his father's death, promising to keep him safe. While Mary returns to her apartment, Danny is captured by Tom's men and brought to him. He confirms that Mary killed his father and informs her that he has Danny. She arrives to save him, single-handedly killing all his men. Freeing Danny, she and Tom find themselves in a standoff, but Mary walks away. Tom fires at her, and Mary shoots him in the chest, finishing him off with a bullet to the head. Outside, Mary reunites with Danny; as the credits roll, they drive away to a new life together.

His brother, who had been a philosophy lecturer in the CAR, also has his asylum application rejected, and he self-immolates in the immigration office, later dying from his injuries.

At the end of the statutory 30 days, suffering extreme distress, Abbas does not file an appeal with his last hope, the chairman of the administrative tribunal. When the police summon Carole to the police station and inform her of the penalties incurred for helping foreign over-stayers, he prefers to flee with his children without leaving an address or contact. Carole tries in vain to find any trace of them in the Calais Jungle migrant camp, which had been cleared and dismantled a few hours earlier.

In Weimar Germany, twin brothers Hermann and Gustav find themselves on opposite extremes: Hermann is a loyal sympathizer of the emerging Nazi party, and a mediocre illusionist whose every magic trick ends with the death of his assistant; Gustav is an anarchist who prints and spreads anti-Nazi propaganda. With the rise of Adolf Hitler to power, Hermann enlists with the SS and soon becomes a colonel and personal friend of Hitler. Gustav secretly plots and stages several extravagant yet unsuccessful attempts at assassinating Hitler.

As Germany prepares for World War II, many young men enroll into the German army. In Berlin, newly-wed Hans is drafted and separated from his wife Irma on their wedding night. Hermann, aware of his brother's opposition to the Nazi regime but unknowing of his assassination plans, visits Gustav at his hideout. Arguing that fate should decide which of the two ideologies should prevail, Hermann challenges Gustav to a game of Russian roulette. The game, however, goes on indefinitely as the gun never fires and the two brothers keep interrupting and resuming day by day.

After the German defeat in the war and the death of Adolf Hitler, Hermann reprises his activity as an illusionist. Hans returns home and is finally reunited with Irma, but as the couple embrace for the first time in years, they both step on a landmine. Four decades later, the now elderly Hermann and Gustav are still continuing their game of Russian roulette, only to realize the gun had been empty all along.

Hortense sacks Francine, offering a reference and two month's pay. Francine wants to know why as she has worked hard for two years and done nothing wrong. She says this must be because Hortense wants Georges to marry Marguerite. Hortense confronts Solange about what she saw in the woods. Solange says she and the American only kissed. She thought of her husband and could not do more. Solange says Hortense was cruel to sack Francine but Hortense says she did so to protect her reputation as gossip was flying round the village.

Lea is a Filipina tour guide living in Sapporo, Japan who is engaged to Nobu, a young Japanese man. One night, after receiving a note to meet up at a beer house, she discovers her fiancé flirting with her own friend, a Filipino-Japanese woman. Before venting out her anger, she counts slowly from one to ten, and recalls all the happy memories she shared with Nobu with each count. As she walks out, a stress-induced blindness occurs and she collapses.

Lea struggles to adjust to a life with temporary blindness. Sometime later, Tonyo, Lea's next-door neighbor who is also a Filipino introduces himself to her and makes an effort to cook for her and cheer her up despite being rebuffed several times. Tonyo eventually gains Lea's acquaintance and persuades her to tour with him in and around the city. The two spend most of their time traveling around tourist spots in Sapporo, with Tonyo serving as Lea's eyes through all of their moments. They eventually fall in love and makes a promise to re-visit all the places they went to as soon as Lea regains her eyesight. They later celebrate a pseudo-wedding where Tonyo gives Lea a Daruma doll—a Japanese doll which is believed to fulfill wishes of the person who fills out its eyes—and wishes her recovery from blindness.

During one of their dates, Tonyo leaves Lea by the road to fetch a stuffed toy he intended to give Lea. At this point, Lea begins to regain her sight and, for the first time sees Tonyo waving at her from the other side of the road. Tonyo, surprised and filled with joy, dashes to Lea but is hit by a vehicle and dies.

After Tonyo's death, Lea visits his home, and discovers a letter he left for her. She learns that Tonyo moved from Tokyo to Sapporo, having suffered a broken heart when he was cheated on. It is then revealed that Lea had in fact met him early on. He was a drunken man who slept on the street in front of Lea's home. Lea had been consistently taking care of him, providing him with stir-fried cabbage for food and a blanket. Touched by her kindness, he vowed to better himself, and moves to a house right across from Lea's. One night, a heartbroken Lea—wearing a giant heart suit—spends time instead with a banana mascot who, unbeknownst to her, is also Tonyo.

The letter also reveals that Tonyo was suffering from a heart problem. His heart had been enlarged since he was nine years old; he was told that it could burst anytime and he would die, thus his wanting to do everything for Lea before it happened

Overcome with grief, Lea reminisces their moments and fulfills her promise by re-visiting all the places they had been to, putting on a blindfold in every place.

Quiet and nerdy Jude attends a party at his friend David's home with his friend Kent. He spends the time waiting for his girlfriend Nell and being bullied by Derek and June. Bored, he and Kent wander the empty house. In the master bedroom closet he finds a deck of playing cards with photos of nude women on them. One catches his attention, he is positive the woman in the photo is his mother. Derek, June, and other kids enter the large empty closet. Derek begins a game of 'Seven in Heaven', with winning cards sending Jude and June to sit for seven minutes in a just discovered secret closet. While waiting June offers to fool around with Jude, despite them both having significant others.

Upon exiting the closet they discover they have travelled to an alternate reality, more violent and dangerous than home. Jude and June are quickly separated by the rowdy party, Jude being beaten up by a crowd in the closet and June running away to get a drink. Jude escapes and heads home, where he is attacked by his father, who in his reality is dead. His parents reveal he has been accused of murdering his acquaintance Derek. When he runs to his bedroom he finds that this dimension's version of himself is dark and violent. His bedroom is adorned with heavy metal posters, goth clothing, and disturbing photos. As the police are looking for him he escapes out his bedroom window. He is soon found by his guidance counselor, Mr. Wallace, who is oddly informed about this dimension and that Jude does not belong there. He punches Jude, and at first tries to put him in the trunk of his car. When Jude does not fit, he instead shoves him into his back seat. He directs Jude to leave the dimension as soon as possible through the closet he came from, dropping him off at David's home. Jude sneaks past David and his parents to the master bedroom and enters the closet, where he sets a timer for seven minutes. While waiting he retrieves a pencil from his pocket and scratches 'GET ME HOME' above the door. When he exits the closet again he discovers he is still trapped in the alternate dimension. He decides to look for June in the hope that if they try leaving through the closet together they will return home.

He finds June's address and is tackled by her outside her home. She was hiding in a tree from men that attacked her after she left the closet. Jude explains they are in another dimension but June does not believe him. He suggests she look around her home for proof, where she finds family photos she does not remember taking, and her sister, who in her dimension is at boarding school, in her bedroom. Her sister attacks her and attempts to smother her to death with a pillow. Jude hears the struggling and bursts into the room, separating the sisters. He and June run outside, hiding from passing cars as they try to come up with a plan to get home. Mr. Wallace drives by them, and again stops to help. Jude and June at first hide from him, but a phone call from Jude's mother alerts him to their presence. He directs them again to try the closet a second time now that they are back together. Jude states he cannot access Davids house since the police are searching for him. Mr. Wallace drives them to David's home and somehow is able to convince the police, David, and David's parents, to let Jude and June in and to the closet. They enter again, and while they wait have sex for three minutes. In the remaining four minutes Jude comments that it was his first time, and is unsure if he performed well. June responds that it was not her first time, and he did fine.

In their home reality Jude and June's friends have opened the closet and discovered it empty. The house is searched for them but no one can explain how they disappeared. Kent and Derek try calling them but both numbers have an out of service recording. The party continues during this, including the arrival of the police due to a noise disturbance call. David reassures the police they will be quiet and the officer leaves. Nell arrives and is told by Kent that Jude and June are missing. Kent sits in the closet for seven minutes and has a vision of Jude being beaten up. He realizes that Jude and June are not in their dimension anymore and are in trouble. He convinces Nell to sit in the closet as well, but she only has a small vision of Jude and June in the closet, hearing June offer for Jude to touch her. She does not believe that they have disappeared. The police return to David's house because of another noise complaint. They ask to come in, Kent refuses as they do not have a warrant. The police sit outside, frustrated they have no legal way to enter the home. Inside, David, Kent, and the rest of the party begin cleaning up the mess they created. Kent warns everyone not to leave, or they will be arrested and their parents called. A few younger teenagers sneak out the back and are promptly arrested, proving Kent's point. The police resort to calling the parents of several students. As parents arrive they demand their children come outside, threatening various punishments. The teenagers still refuse, quietly attempting to wait out the police and their parents.

In the alternate dimension, Jude and June have waited inside the closet again for seven minutes. Opening the door they find David's house completely empty and quiet. Jude and June begin to walk home. Jude's mom calls him, asking where he is. She tells him she tried to pick him up from the party but no one was there. He asks where everyone is but she replies that it is late and that he come straight home. Suddenly a car appears behind them. Recognizing the car as Mr. Wallace, the car revs and speeds towards them as they try to run away. Eventually they escape, but are lost, unable to find David's house, wandering various empty streets. They realize they are in a new, different dimension. Jude receives a call from Nell, who tells him to come to Kent's house. Kent's home is dark and seemingly empty. Following a dim light they walk through a kitchen and to a set of stairs leading down. Suddenly Kent, Nell, Derek, and other classmates appear. Derek says they will play another game, similar to Truth or Dare, called Lie or Die. June says that Jude never touched her as they are led into an auditorium. Everyone is seated as a projector screen shows June's sister. She is then smothered to death by a pillow since June lied about what happened in the closet between her and Jude. Then Jude told them a truth that his dad died from a car accident, then he is shown on the screen that deer rammed in on the driver side. The questions continue, a scared and angry Jude flips the game on the crowd. He and June end up asking the crowd questions, the game working in their favour. The crowd gets angry and charges at them, as they escape through a back door and eventually out back into the street. They are found again by Mr. Wallace, and convince him to take them back to the house to escape through the closet. Mr. Wallace explains that this dimension is where everyone's worst thoughts take over. The crowd continues to follow them as they speed toward the house and Jude concocts a plan to help them get home.

In their home dimension, David and the rest of the party watch from the windows as a crowd of parents and police wait. David's grandmother arrives with a spare key to enter the house. She unlocks the door, inviting everyone in as she leaves.

In the alternate dimension, Jude and June are escaping into the house while Mr. Wallace helps them by burning down the house to "reset" the game. The angry crowd is stopped outside, watching as the house burns. Jude explains how the house burning will help them get home, convincing June that they will get home. They struggle to breathe in the smoke filled room as the clock counts down.

Back home, the police are releasing each kid to their parents. It is light outside. Jude and June's parents wait outside, worried about their missing children. Jude and June carefully leave the closet, discovering the house empty and daylight outside. On the lawn the crowd of teenagers, parents, and police stare at them as they walk hand in hand. Jude asks for the crowd to give them a few moments of silence, during which he exclaims that he did not kill Derek, as well as asking Kent if they are friends. They discover they are home, and that their friends have been searching for them all night. Mr. Wallace arrives and welcomes them home. Unbeknownst to everyone, Derek has gone inside and entered the closet. A police officer goes inside to search for him. Derek is shown in the closet having visions of June and Jude making love, followed by Jude stabbing him in the shoulder. The officer opens the secret closet as the light bulb burns out, finding it empty except for the bloody pencil Jude had dropped there. This ironically creates the implication that Jude will once again occupy a reality where he is suspected to have killed Derek.

After their boat sinks during a storm, Jennifer Remming washes ashore a small, tropical island and then finds her friend Brad who dies from his wounds shortly after. While exploring the island, Jenn discovers the belongings and graves of a family that once lived there. She later buries Brad's corpse in the sand, but she discovers the grave uncovered and a trail of blood leading to the ocean the following morning.

As Jenn prepares for the fourth night, the corpse of another mutual friend Zack washes ashore mutilated and bisected. Jenn later uses his body as bait, seeing the sea monster clearly for the first time. For her fifth attempt, Jenn sleeps in a makeshift hammock in the trees to watch the monster arrive. When the monster notices the hammock, he starts to touch it and it slowly drops, Jenn stabs the creature with a sharpened stick and narrowly escapes.

The next day, Jenn is reunited with her boyfriend Lucas Griffin and friend Mia Reed after the two wash ashore in a life raft. Jenn warns Lucas and Mia about the creature, but they dismiss her claims.

Jenn makes a desperate attempt to flee without the two, but they chase her and throw her out of the life raft. During the escape attempt, Mia knocks Jenn out with a boat paddle after Jenn kicks her in the head. Later, Jenn regains consciousness to find herself tied up. Mia reveals Jenn's past of fabricated lies while Jenn tries to convince her of the danger. Lucas returns and refuses to release Jenn. After Mia leaves, he hints that he participated in Zack's demise. Before Jenn can ask what happened to their friend, Mia is attacked by the sea monster. Lucas leaves Jenn tied up to fight it himself, but he fails to save Mia who is dragged into the water. Jenn breaks free of her bindings and rescues Lucas.

The next morning, Lucas and Jenn attempt to escape in the life raft. Jenn discovers the inside is covered in blood, presumably belonging to Zack. As the two begin to head west, the sea monster attacks the raft, eventually ripping through the base and grabs Jenn. As Jenn is being dragged down to the black hole, she remembers Lucas' penknife and stabs the monster. It releases her and swims back up to the raft to drag Lucas to his death.

Now alone, Jenn decides to confront the monster. Before setting up a trap for the monster, she chronicles her experiences with the monster in her journal in hopes of aiding any castaways who might wash up on the island after her if she fails. That night, she lures the monster into a circle of wood and grass which she sets fire to. She battles the monster with a series of sharpened branches and bones from the graves of a family the monster killed. Both severely injured, the monster chases Jenn to the shoreline but collapses from its wounds. Jenn decapitates the corpse and limps away to the raft, carrying the severed head as proof of what happened on the island.

Due to the Philippine Drug War, most of the country's barangays have been drug free. Drug dealer Teban (Alex Calleja) is interrogated by Detective Dela Cruz (Lao Rodriguez) and Detective Alvarez (Nonie Buencamino), trying to find out the location of big-time drug lord Biggie Chen (Arjo Atayde). Upon learning that Chen is hiding at the Barangay ''Gracia ni Maria'' in Tondo, Manila, the authorities launch a "buy-bust" operation to capture Chen.

Rookie police officer Nina Manigan (Anne Curtis) joins a new anti-narcotic elite squad of the PDEA after surviving the slaughter of her entire former squad in a drug raid compromised by corrupt cops. Her new squad is chosen to conduct the mission against Chen; the entrapment is to take place in Plaza Rajah Sulayman. Teban is used as a bait to lure Chen, but the latter did not appear.

The squad then proceeds to the slums of ''Gracia'' and split up into the Alpha and Bravo teams. Inside, Teban meets with Chongki (Levi Ignacio) to take him over to Chen. However, the operation was revealed as bait to massacre the PDEA officers. The Bravo team is slaughtered, leaving Dela Cruz as the only survivor. The Alpha team, led by Lacson, fall back but find themselves trapped by slum settlers and drug mafias in which they must fight their way out. Manigan then kills Dela Cruz upon finding out that he is a part of the illegal trade.

Fed up with the relentless operations conducted by authorities, the dwellers of ''Gracia'' erupted into a violent riot against the PDEA officers and the drug lords. In the ensuing chaos, Rico, Bernie, Teban, Chongki, Solomon, Manok and hundreds of other civilians are killed amid the riots and the gunfights. In the aftermath, Chen is captured, and Manigan, who ends up as being the sole survivor of her squad, finds out that Detective Alvarez was the one behind the illegal drug trade from Chen. While in police custody, Manigan notices Alvarez talking with someone over the phone regarding "loose ends". After the phone conversation, Alvarez kills Chen; Manigan wrestles for Alvarez' gun then kills him and his men, she shoots her leg on purpose then places the gun on Chen's lifeless body and takes the phone that Alvarez was using for possible evidence. When other PDEA agents ask Manigan what happened, she stated that the Chen "fought back". The movie ends with the news stating that "only 13 people” died during the encounter while the camera glides upon hundreds of dead bodies.

Michael and Dafna Feldmann, an affluent Tel Aviv couple, learn that their son, Jonathan, a soldier, has died in the line of duty. The Israel Defense Forces refuse to inform the distraught parents where and how Jonathan died, or if his body had been recovered. Several hours later, they are notified almost matter-of-factly that there has been a mix-up, and that it was some other Jonathan Feldman who has been killed. An angry Michael demands that the IDF allow Jonathan to return home. Although they promise that Jonathan will return by the next day, Michael demands his son return immediately and calls in a favour to have Jonathan's homecoming hastened.

In a remote outpost Jonathan and three other soldiers man a desolate checkpoint. They spend their nights in a converted cargo container that is slowly tipping into the mud. To pass the time, Jonathan tells the story of how his father once traded a treasured heirloom that had been preserved through the holocaust for a porn magazine. Late one night, Jonathan kills four young Palestinians after one of the soldiers mistakes a beer can that rolled out of the Palestinians' car for an explosive device. The soldiers call in the incident and more senior IDF officers arrive, bringing a bulldozer to bury the car with its deceased occupants inside. The men are warned by a senior IDF officer not to disclose the accident. At the end of their discussion the IDF officer receives a call from Michael's connection and tells Jonathan he will be returning home with him.

Six months later Michael and Dafna reunite for their son's twentieth birthday. It is revealed that Jonathan died on his way home and Michael and Dafna have separated as they both blame Michael's impatience for Jonathan's death. Michael and Dafna get high together and ponder over the meaning of their son's final drawing, an illustration of a bulldozer burying a car, with each suggesting that their spouse is the bulldozer and they are the car. Michael also finally admits that during his time in the army he witnessed the death of several members of his unit which he blamed himself for. He viewed Jonathan's birth as absolution for the deaths while Dafna was conflicted by her pregnancy and wanted an abortion.

In the final scene as Jonathan is being driven back to Tel Aviv, the military vehicle in which he is riding on a narrow, rutted desert road swerves to avoid a camel and rolls down an embankment.

The game makes heavy use of Lovecraftian horror elements.

The game opens with a woman, Eshe, wandering a desert in a sandstorm when, coming across mysterious ruins, she is pulled into the ground by a mysterious force. Falling into an ever-shifting underworld, Eshe encounters the Shining Trapezohedron, which grants her the power to defend herself. The two begin to travel the caves together.

As they progress, the Trapezohedron explains that their civilization, an Eldritch theocracy known as the Eschaton, was at war with an invading force known as the Valkyries, who used advanced technology to fight their eldritch magic. The final confrontation between the leaders of these two groups during a summoning ritual caused the ritual to fail, resulting in the remaining Eschaton to become monsters, the remaining Valkyries to become corrupted and fused to their war machines, and the landscape to become warped and unstable.

Eshe fights through the monsters and the machines, acquiring Valkyrie technology to help her attack enemies and navigate the underworld. As she does, she finds Elder Shards, fragments of the failed summoning ritual and vessels of eldritch energy. The Trapezohedron urges Eshe to allow it to use the Elder Shards to permanently "Corrupt" her abilities, making them more powerful but at the cost of her humanity. Alternatively, Eshe can use a Valkyrie incinerator to destroy the Elder Shards for bonuses to her base stats.

The game has three endings depending on what the player chooses to do with the collected Elder Shards.

If Eshe has used or destroyed only some of the Elder Shards, Eshe finally faces off against the Echaton's god, Nyarlethotep. Upon defeating it, a portal opens and Eshe is able to escape back to the desert. However, looking at her hand, she realizes in horror that the Shining Trapezohedron has come back with her.

If Eshe has destroyed all seven Elder Shards, she again faces off against Nyarlethotep. However upon his defeat, the Shining Trapezohedron berates Eshe for refusing its help, and abandons her to merge with Nyarlethotep, revealing the god to be its true form. Eshe manages to defeat Nyarlethotep using the Valkyrie technology, but this causes the portal to shatter, leaving Eshe trapped in the caves in total darkness and devoid of life.

If Eshe allows the Shining Trapezohedron to use all seven Elder Shards to corrupt her abilities, Eshe faces off against a manifestation of her own discarded humanity, which appears first as a "pure" copy of herself, then as a shoggoth-like monster which had mutated and mutilated from using all 7 Elder Shards to remove her humanity. Destroying this allows Eshe to fuse with the Shining Trapezohedron, letting her become godlike and open a portal back to the desert, where under her direction, the world is flooded by eldritch darkness.

The woman questions the man about the reason for his suicide, confiding that she once swallowed a bottle of Ipecac (thinking it was poison) after the end of a romantic relationship. The man eventually confesses to having an intellectual crisis prompted by reading the work of evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, which the man sees as nihilistic and offering no meaning for human life. Upon further prompting, the man admits his feelings of sadness also stem from the memory of a romantic relationship ended five years prior. Empathetic, the woman reveals that the object she was going to throw in the river was the box that contained her ex-fiancé's engagement ring. Since her arm is now injured, the man throws it for her. The play ends with the couple contemplating a joint trip to New York City, under the pretext of finding a bigger bridge to leap from.

In 1304, outside the besieged Stirling Castle, John Comyn, Robert Bruce, and other Scottish nobility surrender to Edward I of England. He demands their homage, to get their land back.

Afterwards, Bruce spars with Edward's heir, the Prince of Wales, and is wed to his goddaughter, Elizabeth de Burgh. Lord James Douglas arrives, asking for the restoration of his ancestral lands but is denied, due to previous Lord Douglas' treason. The King and Prince depart Scotland, leaving Comyn and Bruce in charge, under watch of the Earl of Pembroke Aymer de Valence.

Elizabeth marries Bruce, but he respectfully delays the consummation. Not long after, his father, the Lord of Annandale, dies, fearing his ended friendship with the King of England may have been an error.

Soon after, while delivering taxes to the English, Bruce notes their unpopularity. Rioting follows William Wallace being quartered. He plans another revolt and his family agrees. Trying to persuade John Comyn to join them, he threatens to inform Edward. Panicked, Bruce kills him. The Scottish clergy offers him a pardon if he supports the Catholic Church in Scotland and he accepts the Crown of Scotland deal. King Edward hears of it, declaring Bruce an outlaw. His son, Prince of Wales is sent to crush the uprising, with the king's order that no quarter to be shown to any Bruce supporter.

Calling a council of nobles, most refuse to break their oaths to Edward. Despite the lack of support, Bruce heads to Scone to be crowned king of Scots. On the way, Douglas pledges his allegiance. Ambitious de Valence tries to move against Bruce before the Prince arrives. To avoid bloodshed he challenges de Valence to single combat, who accepts but delays the duel a day, as it is Sunday. That night, Bruce finally consummates his marriage, but the English launch a surprise attack. His wife and Marjorie Bruce are sent to safety with his brother Nigel, and he fights a losing battle, during which most of the Scottish army is killed. Escaping with fifty men, they flee to Islay. On the way, John MacDougall parleys with them, bitter about the murder of his cousin Comyn but allows them to pass. Later, however, he attacks Bruce's entourage as they attempt to cross Loch Ryan. Some get away in boats, but Bruce's brother Alexander dies.

Prince Edward arrives in Scotland, searching for Bruce at Kildrummy Castle, only to find Bruce's wife, daughter, and brother. The prince has his brother hanged, drawn, and quartered, and sends the daughter and wife to England. Bruce's company meets up with Lord Mackinnon, who refuses to lend them any men. The band presses on to Islay anyway; there, they learn of the fall of Kildrummy Castle. Bruce decides to take back the castle through stealth. The successful operation inspires him to begin guerilla warfare. Shortly thereafter, Bruce is reunited with his other brother, Thomas. In England, Marjorie is separated from Elizabeth to go to the nunnery. After Edward hears Douglas Castle has been re-taken, he goes after Bruce himself. He offers Elizabeth a pardon if she annuls her marriage to Robert, but she refuses and is placed in a hanging cage.

King Edward dies shortly after arriving in Scotland, and the Prince of Wales takes over his forces. Bruce fights the new king in a pitched battle at Loudoun Hill, despite being outnumbered six to one. Clan Mackinnon arrives to aid Bruce. As Edward's army is composed almost entirely of cavalry, Robert overcomes his army's size disadvantage in the battle with a spear wall hidden by a ditch. Attempting to attack the flanks, horsemen become bogged down in the mud, as anticipated. The English knights fall from their horses, many are slain, and the battle becomes an open brawl, where the ferocious Scots prevail over the disoriented English soldiers. Realising the battle is hopeless, de Valence orders a retreat. However, determined to kill his nemesis, Edward does not join them. Instead, he duels Bruce as the Scots look on. Edward soon starts to lose, and realising he is about to be slain, he vomits in fear and cries for help. Bruce prevails, allowing Edward to leave unharmed.

In the epilogue: Elizabeth was released, the Prince of Wales was crowned King Edward II, then killed by his own lords. Three hundred years later, Robert's descendant unified the crowns of England and Scotland, and Sir James Douglas’ descendant, Marion Hamilton, married Kentigern Hunter, who died at the battle of Pinkie Cleugh, the last battle between England and Scotland before the union of the crowns, in 1547.

Like Frankenstein, Wolfstein is the name of a German town in southwestern Germany in the Rhine Palatinate district. Just as there is a Frankenstein Castle, there is also a Wolfstein Castle in Germany. "Frankenstein" in German means "Stone of the Franks", a Germanic tribe. "Wolfstein" means "Stone of the Wolf". German names, locations, and characters are a central theme of Gothic horror literature. The Goths were a Germanic tribe. Sir Horace Walpole developed the Gothic horror story with the publication of his novel ''The Castle of Otranto'' in 1764.

The chapbook follows the plot closely of the first section of the novel on the bandits but omits the second pastoral section featuring Frederic Nempere in Geneva.

The name of Cavigni, leader of the bandits, is changed to Stiletto. The name of Megalena is changed to Serena. The name of Ginotti, the Rosicrucian alchemist seeking to find the secret of eternal life, is changed to Barozzi.

The opening scene is of a raging thunderstorm. Wolfstein is a wanderer in the Swiss Alps who seeks cover from the storm. He is a distraught outcast who plans to commit suicide. A group of monks carrying a body for burial in a torch-light procession runs into him and saves his life.

Bandits attack them and take Wolfstein to an underground hideout. He meets Serena, whom the bandits have abducted after killing her father in an ambush.

A rivalry develops between Wolfstein and Stiletto, the leader of the bandits, over Serena. Wolfstein attempts to poison Stiletto after persuading him that he has no claims on Serena. Barozzi smashes the poisoned goblet to the floor. Pietro reads a story. Wolfstein manages to poison the leader of the bandits, Stiletto, in a second attempt. Suspicion falls on Barozzi. Wolfstein declines the invitation to be the new leader. Instead, Rodolph is the leader. His name was Ardolph in the novel.

Rodolph demands that everyone be searched. Wolfstein confesses. The bandits want to kill him but Barozzi intervenes. He persuades them to banish Wolfstein instead.

As Wolfstein is leaving, he sees Serena whom he blames for the murder. He stabs and kills her then flees.

He finds lodging in an inn. A man of "a gigantic stature and masked" seeks to see him. It is Barozzi. Wolfstein is shocked to meet him again.

Barozzi explains to him that he had saved him from certain death. In return, he wants to obtain a favor or promise from Wolfstein.

He asks Wolfstein to promise to protect him and to bury him after his death. Wolfstein agrees. Barozzi departs.

Wolftsein then has a dream. He is at the edge of a precipice when a gigantic figure approaches him to push him off the cliff. Barozzi dashed forward and "rescued him from the monster". The figure then grabbed Barozzi and threw him from the cliff. Barozzi fell with groans.

Barozzi returned to Wolfstein's apartment. He reveals to him that his identity and background will remain a mystery or secret. He has followed Wolfstein and has sought to influence his life. Under the title "Barozzi's Narrative" he recounts his career as an alchemist seeking to find the secrets to nature and immortality.

"From my earliest youth, (before it was quenched by complete satiation), curiosity inspired me with the desire of unveiling the latent mysteries of nature." He departed on a "precarious journey" from his home in Salamanca, Spain.

He faced self-destruction when engulfed by a tide but was saved when a nearby bell from a convent roused him.

He then fell asleep and dreamed that he was on a precipice where a phantom appeared who asked him: "Wilt thou come with me --- wilt thou be mine?" Wolfstein refused. Then he heard voices that were like "the dissolution of nature".

He was seized by a figure "more hideous that the imagination of man can pourtray." The figure then demanded that he relent. He was taken to the precipice and was to be thrown off of it. Wolfstein then exclaimed: "I am thine!" Then he awoke from his dream.

"I dived deeper into philosophical enquiries, and finally obtained the method by which man might exist forever." "A tale of too much horror" would follow if he explained it in detail.

"To one man alone may I communicate the secret of immortal life, then must I forego my claim to it." He gladly will relinquish the secret to Wolfstein. "To you I bequeath the secret" he tells Wolfstein but he must never divulge the secret of immortality to anyone. Wolfstein agrees.

Barozzi will reveal the secret at their next meeting at midnight at the ruined Abbey of St. Pietro, which is St. Irvyne in the novel.

Wolfstein goes to the abandoned abbey and enters the vaults. He stumbles over the lifeless body of Serena. "The laugh of anguish which had convulsed her expiring frame still played around her lips in a smile of horror and despair; her hair was loose and wild, seemingly gathered in knots by the convulsive grasp of dissolution." He dashes it to the floor. He rushed into the vaults and sat on a slab of stone waiting for the bell to ring.

When the bell struck midnight Barozzi appeared emaciated almost to a skeleton with hollow and sunken cheeks but still had a lofty demeanor.

Barozzi threw his mantle on the floor when he saw Wolstein. A lightning flash rushed through the vaults followed by thunder "that appeared to convulse the universal fabric of nature". Then borne on sulphurous blasts the "prince of terror" appeared.

Barozzi's body "mouldered to a gigantic skeleton". Two flames burned in his empty eye sockets. His body blackened, Wolfstein fell over him in spasms.

They were the victims of the "delusions of the passions" in attempting to seek eternal life. "Let endless life be sought from Him who alone can give an eternity of happiness."

Like in ''Frankenstein'', seeking to obtain the secrets of nature leads to disaster.

Aladdin, an orphaned street urchin in the Arabian city of Agrabah, and his monkey Abu meet Princess Jasmine, who has snuck away from her sheltered life in the palace. Jasmine wishes to succeed her father as Sultan, but is instead expected to marry one of her royal suitors, including the charming yet dimwitted Prince Anders. Jafar, the grand vizier, schemes to overthrow the Sultan and seeks a magic lamp hidden in the Cave of Wonders, but only "the diamond in the rough" can enter the cave.

Jafar's pet parrot Iago spots Aladdin and Abu sneaking into the royal palace and visiting Jasmine. Aladdin is then captured by Jafar. He offers to make Aladdin rich enough to impress Jasmine in exchange for retrieving the lamp, and warns him to take nothing else. Inside the cave, Aladdin frees a magic carpet and finds the lamp, but Abu cannot resist touching some treasure and causes the cave to collapse. Aladdin gives the lamp to Jafar, who double crosses and kicks him and Abu into the cave, but Abu steals the lamp back.

Trapped in the cave, Aladdin rubs the lamp, unwittingly summoning the omnipotent Genie inside, who explains that he has the power to grant Aladdin three wishes. Aladdin gets them out of the cave without using a wish on a technicality: he did not rub the lamp in the first place as he stated the wish. Determined to woo Jasmine, he uses his official first wish to become a prince, and promises to use his third wish to free the Genie from servitude and turn him human.

Aladdin makes an extravagant arrival at Agrabah as "Prince Ali of Ababwa", but struggles to impress Jasmine. Posing as Aladdin's human attendant, the Genie is mutually smitten with Dalia, Jasmine's handmaiden. Aladdin and Jasmine bond when he takes her on a ride on the magic carpet. Tricked into revealing his true identity, he lies to her, saying that he actually is a prince and dressed like a peasant to explore Agrabah.

Jafar discovers Aladdin's identity and throws him into the palace moat, knowing that if he survives, it will prove he has the lamp. The Genie saves Aladdin, costing him his second wish. Once rescued, Aladdin returns to the palace and destroys Jafar's magic cobra staff, ending his spell over the Sultan and revealing his plot. Jafar is then arrested and imprisoned in the dungeons. The Sultan allows Aladdin to marry Jasmine. Aladdin goes back on his promise to free the Genie, feeling uncertain of being able to keep up his persona without him. Dismayed that his master wants to continue living a lie, the Genie retreats to his lamp in disappointment.

Freed by Iago, Jafar steals the lamp and becomes the Genie's new master. He uses his first wish to become sultan, but Jasmine reminds the palace guards of their true loyalty, turning them against Jafar. Using his second wish to become the world's most powerful sorcerer, Jafar exposes Aladdin, exiles him and Abu to a frozen wasteland, imprisons the palace guards and Jasmine's pet tiger Rajah, and then threatens to kill the Sultan and Dalia unless Jasmine agrees to marry him. At the wedding, Jasmine rescues the lamp from Jafar and jumps into the magic carpet to escape with Aladdin and Abu, who had been rescued from the frozen wasteland by the magic carpet, after the Genie sent it behind Jafar's back. Chased by Iago, whom Jafar briefly transformed into a roc, and Jafar using a thunderstorm and sand twister, Aladdin and Jasmine are recaptured and the magic carpet is destroyed.

Aladdin taunts Jafar for being second in power to the Genie, goading him into using his last wish to become "the most powerful being in the universe" which the Genie obliges to, transforming Jafar into an even more powerful genie. This traps Jafar inside his own lamp, dragging Iago with him, and the Genie banishes them to the Cave of Wonders. Abu rescues the magic carpet and Genie fixes it up. Aladdin keeps his promise and uses his last wish to free the Genie, allowing him to live as a human. The Sultan crowns Jasmine the new sultana-regnant, no longer bound to marry a prince, and she and Aladdin marry. The Genie marries Dalia and they start a family and explore the world together, becoming the mariner who is telling his children the story about Aladdin in the beginning of the film.

Jay Perkins (Bakula) and his fellow pilot Frank (Fletcher) have been hired to fly crop dusters by a local farmer, but they are fired for dangerous aerial stunts. This leaves Jay without income to support his wife Ellen (Rigg) and expected baby. He and Frank are offered a job flying Cessna 188 crop dusters to Sydney via Honolulu, Pago Pago, and Norfolk Island for a handsome fee. Though Jay has reservations about the safety of the assignment, he and Frank ultimately accept. This upsets Ellen, who tells him that the money isn't worth the risk. Nevertheless, Jay and Frank take off the next morning, weighed down by all of the extra fuel necessary for the long flight. Both aircraft have an Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) to help guide them to their destination.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Air New Zealand senior pilot Gordon Vette (Loggia) is looking forward to his impending retirement. At present, however, Gordon is about to serve as the captain of ANZ Flight 308: a brief two-hour trip from Fiji's Nadi International Airport to Auckland Airport in New Zealand.

Jay and Frank make through Honolulu without incident, but Frank crashes into the water upon takeoff from Pago Pago. Frank escapes unharmed, but his plane is destroyed. Jay offers to turn back, but Frank, reminding him of the big payoff, convinces him to keep going. After he has been flying for nearly 14 hours, Jay attempts to contact Norfolk Island by radio but is unsuccessful. He examines his ADF and finds that it is broken. Realizing that he has no idea where he is, Jay radios air traffic control for help.

A search and rescue mission is sent out to find Jay, but their progress is hindered by a storm. Air traffic control tells Flight 308 that they are the only flight in the area that might be able to help. Gordon radios Jay and discovers that he is in danger of running out of fuel.

Back at home, Ellen is distressed to learn that her husband is lost at sea.

Off the coast of New Zealand, Gordon is having difficulty conducting search and rescue operations in a passenger jet. The captain gets creative, attempting to locate Jay by triangulating his position from the range of his radio or by comparing their relative positions of the sun. After attempts fail Jay begins to consider ditching his plane in the ocean while it is still light enough to do so safely, as it will soon run out of fuel anyway. Jay knows, however, that if he lands in the water he will probably not survive. Gordon is finally able to locate him, and Jay returns home to his family.

As Derrick returns to London from college, he bumps into a man who has stolen £100,000 from a crime boss known as the Butcher. Derrick is waiting for a ride home from his friend Malcolm, and the thief is fleeing the Butcher's two thugs, Tiny and Streets; distracted, the two men unknowingly exchange bags. After the thief is struck by a car and killed, Derrick leaves with Malcolm. Before dropping off Derrick, Malcolm says he must take stop to take care of some business. It turns out to be a shady meeting in an alley, frightening Derrick, who believes it to be a drug deal. He is relieved but still frustrated when it turns out to be black market meat.

At his parents' house, Derrick's father first tells him he is proud that his son has attended Oxford, but he threatens to throw out Derrick unless he gets a job over the weekend. Derrick finds employment with a fast food chicken restaurant, annoying his friends, who say he smells like a dead rat. Derrick, Malcolm, and their friend Tyler later leave for a house party, where they hope to meet up with Derrick's friend Martina. However, they are denied entry by the hosts, obnoxious rivals who disliked them in high school. Though the others take it in stride, Derrick becomes flustered and angry, tired of being ridiculed by his peers.

After Derrick cools off, Malcolm and Tyler help him unpack. There, they discover the money amid his other belongings. Confused, Derrick says they should look for the owner or bring it to the police, but Malcolm and Tyler convince him they should spend it. As Derrick's parents have gone to visit family over the weekend, the boys attempt to come up a way to spend all the money in just three days. They first go on a wild shopping spree, buying designer clothes and dining in an upscale restaurant. When Malcolm's car is too small to hold all their purchases, they rent a new car.

Thinking back to how angry he was to be denied entry to the earlier party, Derrick suggests they host their own party – one so extravagant and unforgettable that nobody will ever disrespect them again. The others readily agree, recruiting Malcolm's excitable cousin to quickly spread the word. They rent a large venue, sparing no expense, and are especially pleased when they have the opportunity to deny entry to the rivals who had previously done the same to them. Disgusted by Derrick's behavior, Martina leaves his party, telling him that he has become everything he used to hate.

Tiny and Streets, having discovered the bags were switched, reluctantly pay a homeless man in Derrick's neighborhood to point them toward youths who have been ostentatiously spending money. They crash Derrick's party and introduce him to the Butcher, who gives the boys one day to return his money. Crushed, they realise they have already spent half. They go to a casino, hoping to quickly double their money. Although initially successful, they lose a high-stakes game of blackjack and a followup bet to the winner, who takes their rental car as a prize.

At Derrick's house, Tyler panics and runs, just as Tiny and Streets break in. The thugs briefly chase the boys, catch them, and take them to the Butcher, who plans to harvest and sell their organs on the black market. Before he can kill Derrick, the Butcher's accountant interrupts him. Overhearing the Butcher's financial difficulties, Derrick says he can save the Butcher from paying hefty banking fees. The Butcher lets them go after Derrick comes through, though they realise they must still clean Derrick's parents' house, which was ransacked by the thugs. Before they can, the police arrest them for selling rat meat at the fast food restaurant. After hearing their long story, the police let them go. As Derrick makes up with Martina, a representative from the rental car company hands them a mysterious bag left in the rental car. They are overjoyed to find it is full of money.

Two Lebanese-Australian brothers, Khaled Khayat (49) and Mahmoud Khayat (32) were charged with "preparing for, or planning, a terrorist attack". The plan was to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) concealed in a suitcase twenty minutes into an Abu-Dhabi-bound flight with 400 passengers aboard. The plot was prevented at the airport check-in counter when a passenger attempted to check in a bag that was suspiciously heavy. The IEDs were shipped international cargo from ISIS members to the plotters in Australia. The two brothers charged in the case are said to have a brother, Tarek, who is a senior member of the Islamic State in Raqqa. The IEDs inside the luggage were concealed inside a meat grinder and a Barbie doll.

Lebanese Interior Minister Nohad Machnouk said Lebanese authorities had been monitoring the brothers for over a year, and that they coordinated their activities with their Australian counterparts. According to Machnouk, the plot was foiled because the luggage was overweight, and that the plot may have succeeded if the weight limit had not been exceeded. According to Machnouk, the alleged motive was to punish the United Arab Emirates and Australia for being part of the US-led coalition against Islamic State.

On 29 July 2017, the Australian Federal Police conducted raids on five properties in response to suspicion of an Islamist inspired terrorist attack plot on an aeroplane. Four suspects were arrested and authorities sought a court ruling to hold the men for the duration of the property searches before laying any potential charges. A woman in Surry Hills denied that her son or husband had any links to terrorism.

The Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, said the raids were a major joint counter-terrorism operation. Andrew Colvin, the Australian Federal Police Commissioner, told reporters at a news conference: "In recent days, law enforcement has become aware of information that suggested some people in Sydney were planning to commit a terrorist attack using an IED (improvised explosive device)," adding that specific information was not yet available and that the investigation will be "long and protracted". According to Michael Phelan, Federal Police (AFP) Deputy Commissioner, the plan was "one of the most sophisticated plots that has ever been attempted on Australian soil". On 3 August, one suspect was released and three remained detained while property searches continued.[https://www.tweeddailynews.com.au/news/terror-plot-suspected-bomb-made-it-check-/3208557/ Tweed Daily News Australia]

Airport security measures were increased at major airports throughout Australia in response to the possible threat.

Following an announcement by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton announced in Canberra on 20 February 2018 that the information used to thwart the plot was supplied by Unit 8200, a branch of the military intelligence agency Aman.

An agricultural farm is giving prizes for the person who makes the largest homegrown project. Porky and a rival neighbor both plan to win the agricultural farm prize, Porky with his garden and the neighbor with his chickens. Porky carefully plans a box of seeds, one by one while the man is busy mixing a bunch of bottles of items together. Porky goes to retrieve something as the man feeds the brand new mixture into the feeding bin for his chickens. But when they try it out, they spit the food out in disgust and seek food elsewhere. Porky grabs his bottle of quick grow, a hair tonic he hopes would work on his garden. To his amazement, it does. But he says nothing of it and heads inside his house.

The neighbor checks out his handy work and comments on it, allowing his chickens to come over and eat all of his fruits and vegetables. A little chick and a bigger chicken fight over a watermelon until it flings the chick away. The chick sadly retreats until it sees a bunch of spinach and decides to munch on it instead. The chick then comes back and punches the mean chicken before finishing the watermelon. (The chick eating spinach and then changing is a thinly-veiled Popeye reference).

When his garden has almost entirely been eaten, Porky finally notices the chickens and tries to get rid of them. But alas no luck, so he yells at the neighbor to get them back into his yard but the neighbor claims he doesn't know how they got on Porky's property, then attempts to "try" and make them return. He then leaves while a sad Porky heads to his door, only to find a long vine and follow it to a giant pumpkin.

When the chickens see it, they aim to grab it so Porky brushes right through them all, not allowing any of them to make contact with it. He accidentally drops the pumpkin but catches it when he runs through his entire house. He runs straight for the country fair while the man summons his chicken back and leads them there. As the two of them show up, one of the workers is showing off the talent of a pill he has developed. He gives it to his elephant, turning it into a mouse.

As the neighbor leads his fat and fed chickens to the prize area. One of the bottles pills spills over and the chickens eat all of them, making them grow twice their size. As he arrives, Porky is being awarded first prize. The judge immediately gives the prize to his neighbor instead. But suddenly the chickens shrink and revert to eggs. The "iris out" is interrupted by Porky rightfully grabbing the prize money back from his Italian neighbor.

Krazy is a stage actor who leads a group of performers wearing blackface. The stage acts include playing musical instruments, dancing, and telling jokes.

After a few acts, one of the performers does some scat singing. The audience, however, does not find the performance appealing as they slingshot a slice of watermelon into the performer's mouth, thus changing his singing style. The audience finds it more fun to toss things are they hurl more fruits onto the performers.

When Krazy does his second solo act, the audience slingshoots a large can of tomatoes at him. Krazy does not seem bothered by the deed as he turns the can into a kilt, and the can's contents into bagpipes. Once more, the audience tosses another object onto the stage. This time, an egg. The egg lands on Krazy's head, knocking him unconscious, before dropping onto the stage floor where it breaks open. Strangely, a skunk emerges from the eggshell. The skunk unleashes fumes, causing everybody at the theater to leave. Krazy wakes up but is still dazed from the egg projectile.

The episode begins with Black Pete entering an Old West town called Gower Gulch guns blazing. He then robs the town's bank and escapes on his horse. The scene then shows Chip 'n' Dale preparing for winter and stashing their acorns in their tree whilst singing "Home on the Range". A wanted poster of Pete with a reward of $10,000 is placed on the hole where Chip goes with some acorns. He then accidentally puts his face in the poster which makes Dale think his friend has turned to crime, but is excited about the money and attempts to turn Chip over to the police, only to see the actual poster.

Pete shows up at his hiding spot and stashes the money in a chest he hid in a tree. The tree the chest is in is also the home of Chip and Dale with their stash of acorns. Pete then makes breakfast while singing "Home on the Range". Seeing the wanted outlaw, they make many attempts to capture him. They try to pull him off with a rock on a rope. Chip is held by Pete which he thinks is a salt shaker making Dale mistake the vibrations as the signal to drop the rock & does so ("Now?" "Not now!"). Chip is suddenly pulled away and the rock tumbling sounds scares Pete, who hides behind another rock and begins firing wildly at nothing.

He brushes it off, then Chip and Dale load a tobacco bag with gunpowder from some of Pete's bullets and turn it into a cigarette. But when he hears it crackling, he throws it away & it lands behind the chipmunks and explodes. Pete again panics and fires blindly. He then becomes frantic and decides to move on. He grabs his chest, only to find it full of acorns. He finds his money on the ground in a path, and gathers it while ironically falling into a pit trap, only to find the chipmunks and begins to shoot at them (If it's trouble you varmints want, I'll give it to you!"). They retreat to their tree, and then attempt to take one of the guns away from Pete.

Chip pulls out the gun but falls due to the weight of the gun. It suddenly begins to fire off out of control. Pete retaliates pulling out his gun, but instead pulls out Dale who was stuck in the holster to which Dale acts like a gun. Chip then points the gun at Pete to which he surrenders. Chip then ironically twirls the gun too fast to which he twirls with it. The gun then goes off again which shoots off his hat and grazes some hair off his head. Pete then tries to sweet-talk his way out which Chip denies ("Sweet talk will get you nowhere."), He spins the chamber of the gun which falls out of the gun disarming it & Pete corners Chip as the cavalry is seen coming toward them with their horns in a few scenes.

But before he can tear Chip apart, Dale grabs one of the spurs on Pete's boots and uses it to trigger the bullets on Pete's belt while Dale lassos him by the leg & breaks his bones. They then make him put his fist on a cactus, Dale then steals his knife & uses it to cut his belt, then they both tie his head with Pete's bandana, then sneak into his shirt & tickle him, while Dale rides the spur down Pete's back which hurts him to the point of charging after him. Chip grabs the frying pan with the eggs and bacon and puts it in the path of Pete which he hits it and is left dazed ("Sunny side up") and then covered in maple syrup and the money he stole. Pete is then captured by the cavalry which they believe to be the work of Chip & Dale, whom they dub "The Lone Chipmunks", and the short ends with Chip and Dale laughing as they & their horse ride off into the distance.

Then, Pete went to Donald's house and asks Donald to borrow some ice cubes, but instead, he cleans up the refrigerator by taking all his food after Donald opens the door. Pete leaves while thanking him for his appreciation. Later, Muncey asked Donald by sending a note for a favor, to borrow Donald's dishes. Donald bursted angry that it wasn't helpful until Pete arrives again, showing the green porridge. Donald takes a spoonful of it and told Pete that he firstly liked it, but he suddenly coughs it out upon knowing that it was dog food (after Pete has told Muncey that he eats it). While they're walking along together, Pete told Muncey that Donald is too awkward.

On the second day, Donald and the whole neighborhood had their gardening time. Pete asks Donald to borrow his spade but he takes all of Donald's tools (fork, trowel, sprayer, pruners, clippers) instead. Donald wasn't appreciated with his empty wheelbarrow until it rains. He runs in the porch to dry but Pete reminds him that he returned his tools. Donald quickly takes them and went back inside the house while Pete sits reading his newspaper.

On the third day, Pete climbs up and trimming his tree until the wind pushed all the branches and leaves and fell onto Donald's lawn. Donald was shocked about this and Pete tells him: "Better rake 'em up quick! They'll ruin your lawn!" and laughs. Now, Donald was enraged and thinking Pete is doing these things on purpose, he had enough for that. Then, he quickly rakes up his lawn and puts them into an incinerator. Donald paused while he noticed Pete's laundry, then he laughs while inventing a plan to get back at him. He burns a pile of leaves with the fire and told Pete by showing him for the smoke covering his laundry. Then, Pete grabs a hose to douse the smoke out but instead, he sprayed Donald in the face. As Pete laughs at this, Donald puts the hose into his shorts and poking some holes with his pitchfork. Pete walks around looking like a fountain. Donald laughs but Pete smacked his head by a baseball bat, causing to escalate into a full-scale war, with crowds cheering and TV coverage.

The brawl gave attention to the whole neighborhood while the headlines were announcing and spreading across the country ("Neighborhood Brawl Grows", "War! Between Neighbors", "Neighbors Erupt! Television Covers Battle"). The crowd gathered up to watch the battle between Donald and Pete. By starting the battle, Pete begins to measure his property line by cutting most of Donald's tree then he says, "Let's watch that property line, punk!". Then, Donald cuts his longjohns as a result above his property line, and the battle starts to play on: Pete flinging apples to Donald, Donald catapulting paint on Pete's face with an axe, Pete dumping garbage on Donald, Donald flinging a trash lid to Pete and breaking his greenhouse, Pete tossing a grass cutter to Donald and damaging his roof, Donald and Pete playing on a "see-saw" ladder while the crowd was laughing at them. Then, Pete lifts the ladder and Donald runs over him with the grass cutter by latter after the "see-saw" battle.

The neighbors took the aided Donald and Pete for a time-out drinking water, and they gave them for another battle action by telling them, "Give him the old spike fence". Then, the battle continues as Pete and Donald building a spike fence very high between their property as the neighbors started to chant out "Higher! Higher! Higher!", until Muncey runs below the fence and digging gardens with the other dogs cheering for him. Suddenly, the spike fence begins to crumble and collapse; scaring all the neighbors and causing a huge wreck. On the last scene, Pete, all injured and bandaged up reluctantly moves away with his house taken with him. Donald also moves away but happily as he reads his paper. It turned out that no one won the battle; it was a draw.

Mickey rides his horse up to a Mexican cantina, where he finds Minnie working as a waitress. He dances and plays the spoons to amuse her, but when he cheekily tweaks her nose, she becomes enraged, upbraiding him in Spanish and then pelting him with lamps and bottles. He earns her favor again by doing a silly dance and playing the piano. Peg-Leg Pete, an ugly ruffian, dances into the cantina and grabs Minnie's arm, taking some beer and asking her for a kiss. Mickey stands up to the bully, and they both draw their guns.

The lights go out, and Mickey and Pete engage in a spirited gunfight. Pete emerges from the cantina with his hands around Minnie; he jumps on his donkey, and rides away. Mickey tries to follow on his horse, but ends up dragged behind the animal, poked with cactus needles. Mickey finally catches up with Pete and jumps onto his moving donkey, then punches him in the face. Pete falls off a cliff and is squashed flat by a boulder. Mickey, Minnie and the horse wave goodbye to a two-dimensional Pete.

A homeowner is enjoying his lovely lawn and garden when it's invaded by a couple of gophers with Brooklyn accents, one a slow-paced gopher named Virgil. The homeowner attacks by trying to cut their heads off with hedge trimmers, but the gophers hide back into the hole. The homeowner then tries to listen in the hole with his ear, but the active gopher yells, "Let's not get nosy, bub," loudly into the ear. The homeowner reads a book on how to exterminate the gophers, while the same gopher bites down the hoe he was standing on and makes the homeowner fall. The homeowner tries to nab the gopher with the same hoe, but constantly misses.

The homeowner attempts to blast the gophers with a shotgun, which also misses, as the active gopher stands in between the barrels. With the help of Virgil, they confuse the homeowner and burrow a hole for the homeowner to fall into. As the homeowner resurfaces, he is whacked in the head with a sign reading "Be Kind to Gophers Week". The homeowner gasses them with helium, and they float away, causing a crow to throw away his bottle of alcohol. The inflated gophers hit a tree after being scared by the homeowner and fall down to the tomato garden. As the gardener fishes for the gophers under his hat, they substitute it for a tomato, he felt and splat it, thinking he's squished the gophers. When he remove his hat to check, he sees a gopher hole with a sign saying, "''Out to Lunch''". Then, he cries in a tantrum fit.

Finally, the homeowner tries to flood the burrows with a garden hose. Virgil stop the flow until there's a huge blast of water, which they direct back at the homeowner. The homeowner finally loses it and jumps into the ground and starts burrowing himself like a gopher, before hitting his fountain, destroying the statue on top of the fountain and surfacing there. Virgil responds, "Well, what do you know, eh? Somethin' new has been added!" while the homeowner squirts water out of his mouth and then his ears.

One evening, Krazy is sitting in front of an open old oil barrel at a sidewalk. He next reads a newspaper about someone stealing cheese from stores. Momentarily, a rat wearing a black eye mask passes by. This catches the attention of Krazy who follows the rodent.

The masked rat arrives at a cheese store. Although there is an emu cop at the scene, that law enforcer is in a snooze, having a head in a hole in the ground. Because the store is closed, the rat sneaks in through the bars of a small ground level window. Krazy also enters, going through an elevated window. The rat reaches the store's inventory, and eats an entire cheese wheel. The rat takes another cheese wheel, and puts it in his bag. The rat flees the place, never to be seen again. Krazy tries to enter the inventory by pounding the door which makes so much noise that emu cop is awaken. The emu cop goes into the store through the elevated window. Krazy figures another way to the inventory by squeezing under the door. The emu cop walks through door, and finds Krazy. Believing Krazy is the serial thief, the emu cop clubs and arrests the cat.

Later in the sunrise, the scene is set in the house of a ferret. The ferret, after consuming some cake, is reading a newspaper about the alleged cheese thief being in custody but can be bailed. He at first takes delight of the news until his conscience gets the better of him. His conscience come in the form of hallucinations where he sees the things in his home (newspaper, blanket, pillow, fish in the bowl, even his cake) turn into monsters urging him to help the one in custody. The ferret finally gives in to his nightmare as he takes a sack of cash from under a floor before going out.

The ferret heads to the courthouse where the suspected cheese thief is being held. In the court, the ferret presents his sack of cash, and asks the judge to bail the suspect. The judge accepts the ferret's bail request, and orders an associate, who turns out to be the emu cop, to release the suspect. To the ferret's surprise, the suspect he bails is Krazy Kat who is an acquaintance of his.

After the opening credits, two men are sitting together in a small room. One of them ([https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3874902/ Jammal Ibrahim]) is staring out the window. The other (Charles Etubiebi) is eating something and making conversation, which the first man participates in sparsely. The men hear the call to prayer ring out, and so they pray in the next room. During prayer, the second man starts to shake and announces he has been poisoned to the first man, who he calls Amir. When Amir refuses to retrieve the first aid kit, the first man realizes that Amir poisoned him.

In the cabinet with the first-aid kit is a journal, which Amir and the second man fight over the key for. The second man locks the cabinet and swallows the key to the cabinet before passing out, which frustrates Amir. He goes to a barrel and pulls out a suicide bomber vest, which he then straps to himself. Amir leaves the building.

The camera cuts to a car on a city road, where a man makes use of the services of a sex worker (Jemima Osunde). After he’s done, the man throws some money at the sex worker, and she walks into the nearby St. Luke’s Hospital. There is a donation box on the receptionist’s (Aina Oladeji) desk to “save Chidi’s life,” and it’s indicated on the box that only a small portion of the needed funds have been donated. The woman donates 1,000 Nigerian Naira (placing the movie definitively in Nigeria) and updates the sign. A large amount of swelling on the right side of the sex worker’s face is revealed by the camera, and she rejects the receptionist’s offer to see “him,” Chidi, who she just donated to save.

The camera cuts to Amir, who walks down a city road, reads a piece of paper he’s holding, and then hides under a truck. Amir gets a phone call, initiating a flashback where a much younger Amir (Master Adebulugbe), in his childhood, is hearing a ringtone in the room. Young Amir grabs a piece of paper and quickly hides it in his hand before a man (Jude Chukwuka) comes in the room to pick up the phone. The man, who is named by the caller as Mallam Sadan, is speaking with a woman he calls Sister Dorcas (Kehinde Fasuyi), who tells him “the papers are ready.” Mallam Sadan requests that she “take them to Ofili at the new house,” but cannot find the address for "the new house" written down anywhere because the paper with the address on it is in Amir’s hand. Mallam Sadan says Ofili will send the address to Sister Dorcas. Mallam calls for Amir, who says his name is Joseph. Mallam says that his name in his new family is Amir, and that Amir and Mallam are “father and son now.” Mallam embraces Amir and the flashback ends.

A car pulls up next to the truck where Amir is hiding. The driver (Chris Iheuwa) is complaining that the gate to the building he’s arrived at is closed. Amir runs up to the car and holds a knife to the driver’s throat, who panics but holds still. Amir demands to know where Mallam Sadan is. The driver argues, and so Amir stabs him in the leg. The driver says he doesn’t know and that he only handles “minor logistics.” The driver advises Amir to speak to Sister Dorcas, for she might know.

Another man (Abiodun Falana), who the driver calls Sule, comes out of the building, but Amir threatens to kill Sule if he comes closer to Amir and the driver. Sule returns inside, which makes the driver sob harder. Amir demands Sister Dorcas’ address from the driver. Once Amir has the address, the driver uses his possession of a vehicle to offer to take Amir to Sister Dorcas’ house, bargaining for his life. In another part of the city, some sex workers, including the one from earlier, are patrolling the red light district of the city. She’s not getting any customers, which makes her feel sad. Finally, after a lot of waiting, she gets a customer. The customer negotiates her down from her offer of 6,000 Naira to 1,000. The customer refuses to pay her at all, so she hits him with a crowbar and takes all his money, then runs away.

The driver is taking Amir down a dark road, and begging to go to the hospital, for he is losing a lot of blood. The driver passes out from loss of blood, and crashes the car. Nearby passersby notice this. Amir checks the driver for a pulse, stabs the driver, and then runs away. The passersby collectively decide to chase after Amir because they saw him stab the driver. The sex worker’s customer is chasing her to get back the money she took from him. Amir and the sex worker both hide in the same small, open carriage.

They look at each other quietly for a while. The sex worker introduces herself as Nkem. Amir introduces himself. Amir asks if she knows the address he extorted from the driver. Nkem asks “what’s in it for me?” and Amir offers her cash. Nkem says she must change her clothes from her sex work outfit before they go to the address. Amir doesn’t tell her what the address is for.

Back in the house where the film started, the man Amir poisoned is conscious and calls Mallam Sadan. He reports Amir gone from the building, and reveals to Mallam that the poison Amir slipped him was only a sedative, not lethal. Mallam infers that Amir “lost his nerve.” Mallam insists the operation go forward as planned, and says “the package” must be delivered by tomorrow morning. Mallam says he will send another delivery boy to get the package. However, the man alerts him that Amir has taken the package with him. At this point, it becomes clear that “the package” refers to Amir’s suicide bomber vest.

Amir and Nkem arrive at Nkem’s house. Amir scolds Nkem for undressing in front of him, calling her “shameless woman” in Hausa. Nkem responds, revealing that she understands Hausa. While Amir is shifting his clothes around, Nkem spots his suicide bomber vest. She says she’s not sure why she’s not afraid, now that she knows he is a suicide bomber, and that she’s paid to take him to the address given to her. She does not plan on interfering with his business once he arrives.

Back in the house where Amir sedated a man, that same man receives a phone call from Mallam, who informs the man that “Amir killed our town scout,” presumably the driver that Amir stabbed. The man has a flashback to the fight that took place after Amir considered stealing the journal from the cabinet. The man specifies to Mallam that the aforementioned journal contains the address to every hideout in town. Mallam is confident that Amir is not a threat, but the man is wary. Mallam insists that they resolve the issue themselves. Mallam claims to “have a good idea where Amir is going next.” The call ends.

Amir and Nkem are sitting in a taxi driven by a quiet man (Muyiwa Ayoola). Amir is getting impatient. Nkem tells him, “patience is a virtue.” Amir retorts, “what does a whore know about virtue?” which upsets Nkem. She tells Amir she doesn’t have a choice in her career. She says her brother (presumably Chidi, who she donated to previously) is in the hospital dying, and the operation costs 5 million naira. She asks Amir where else she can get that amount of money.

Amir points at someone selling recharge cards on the side of the road, pointing out that they are turning a profit without prostituting themselves. Nkem says she can’t make 5 million quickly enough that way. Amir asks if she’s made 5 million prostituting herself, implying that her current method isn’t working anyway. Amir says Nkem’s brother, Chidi, should take care of himself. Nkem protests that Chidi is only 13, but Amir says he could handle himself at the age of 11.

Nkem reveals that Chidi came home early from school to find his uncle having sex with Nkem, and tried to defend Nkem, but Chidi’s uncle pushed Chidi down the stairs and cracked his skull. Nkem adds that her uncle only paid Chidi’s school fees because Nkem agreed to have sex with him, and that the uncle had been touching her ever since the age of eight. Amir says she should’ve stopped the uncle as soon as she knew he was doing something wrong. Nkem said she tried to stop him because she was on her period and he burnt her face with a waffle iron, causing her disfigured face. Nkem asks, rhetorically, how she could’ve stopped her uncle. Nkem adds that if Chidi dies, everything she’s endured to support Chidi will have been a waste. Amir ends the conversation by saying that by whoring herself out, Nkem is already dead.

Nkem and Amir have arrived at their destination, and are already out of the car. Amir pays Nkem for helping him. Nkem asks if Amir knows the residents, but he refuses to answer. Amir walks up to the building marked Little Saints Chapel and Orphanage. Amir carries a red satchel. He knocks on the metal door outside. The man who answers the door instructs Amir to wait inside the chapel while he goes to find Sister Dorcas and alert her to Amir’s presence.

Sister Dorcas enters the orphanage. She is an older, short woman. She’s very excited to see Amir, who she recognizes as both Joseph and Amir. The man who permitted Amir to enter sneaks up behind him, preparing to stab him with a large machete. Sister Dorcas signals for the man to proceed in attacking Amir, but Amir snatches the machete from its sheath and cleaves the man’s head open. Amir asks Sister Dorcas how she knew him as Amir, since that name was only given to him after he left her orphanage as a young boy. Amir figures out that Mallam and Sister Dorcas are working together. Sister Dorcas shoots Amir with a small firearm she had hidden in her baggy robes. Sister Dorcas expresses sadness at having to shoot “one of my own children.” Sister Dorcas accuses Amir of ungratefulness towards Mallam. Sister Dorcas tells Amir she works with Mallam to earn the money necessary to feed all the orphanage’s young residents. Amir tells Sister Dorcas that Mallam’s organization turned him into an outcast. Sister Dorcas says that was Amir’s mother’s doing, for giving Amir to the orphanage in the first place. While Sister Dorcas is talking about why she must kill Amir, he snatches her pistol to the side and stabs her suddenly. Amir collapses flat on the ground, not moving.

Nkem enters the chapel. She takes Amir’s satchel and looks inside. It contains a lot of money. The man that Amir sedated arrives outside the orphanage on a motorbike, just as Nkem is slowly, painstakingly assisting Amir out of the building. The man calls Mallam to update him. Mallam instructs the man to follow them, ensure they are alone, and then kill them.

Nkem says she is taking Amir to the only healthcare worker she knows, because they can’t take Amir to the hospital. He would get in trouble for his suicide bomber vest. Nkem clarifies that the healthcare worker she has in mind is an abortion specialist. Nkem and Amir stop outside the abortion doctor’s house, and Nkem tells Amir to remove “that thing under your clothes,” the suicide bomber vest. Nkem finds a map in Amir’s satchel with the location of the hospital where Chidi is being treated marked on it. Amir passes out from blood loss.

Amir wakes up inside the building, shirtless, without his suicide bomber vest, with an IV drip in his arm. The abortion doctor (Mahin Nosa Itotoi), a middle aged woman, is watching television and laughing in the next room, with Nkem who is much more concerned about whether Amir will survive. The two rooms are separated by a curtain. The abortion doctor has figured out that Amir is planning on committing a crime but does not care because she believes she will be paid in full. Amir enters the same room as Nkem and the doctor, and the doctor leads him back to the bed where he woke up. The doctor introduces herself as “Matron Dora of the Matron Dora Specialist Hospital.”

The man that Amir sedated is outside Matron Dora’s house. He calls Mallam and informs him that Amir and Nkem have been inside the building the man is outside of for a while now. The man suggests they try to reason with Amir, but Mallam says to kill Amir on sight. The man points out that Amir could have killed him but did not. Mallam says Amir might still kill the man if given the chance. The man says he will obey Mallam’s orders. Amir tries to leave Matron Dora’s house but she tells him that will break the stitches and she will charge double money from Nkem, who tells Amir she wants to have a conversation before he leaves to do his business.

Nkem demands privacy from Matron Dora and then asks him if he was ordered to bomb St. Luke’s Hospital, informing him desperately that Chidi is recovering from his injuries there. Amir tells her he does not plan on following through on his orders, although his orders were, in fact, to bomb St. Luke’s Hospital. Nkem is relieved. Amir informs her that Mallam has probably already sent another “delivery boy” to bomb the hospital. Nkem says Amir must kill Mallam. Amir shushes Nkem, suspicious that Matron Dora has been quiet for a while. Nkem insists Matron Dora is just asleep, and enters the next room. Matron Dora appears to be asleep on the couch from Nkem’s perspective but she soon realizes that Matron Dora is dead. Her throat has been cut wide open. The man who was ordered to kill Amir is hiding right behind Nkem, ready to stab her in the back. Amir hears the man move, and darts into the next room to grab Nkem and pull into the room with the hospital bed, saving her life. The man enters that room, and the three begin to fight. Nkem tries to hit the man but he slices at her with the knife and shoves her to the ground. Nkem falls and stops moving. Right before the man tries to stab Amir, he calls the man Kazeem. The man, Kazeem, doesn’t listen and tries to stab Amir. Instead, Amir stabs Kazeem with a knife he finds in the room. Amir starts to reason with Kazeem. Amir points out, as Kazeem did, that Amir could have killed Kazeem and decided not to. Amir reveals his goal is to kill Mallam Sadan. Kazeem asks why Mallam, who serves God, is Amir’s enemy. Amir says Mallam does not serve God, only himself and calls Mallam “filthy.” Amir points out that Mallam told his child followers everything they know about the Qur’an and their religion. Mallam calls Kazeem, but Kazeem doesn’t pick up. Amir implies Mallam has distorted Islam to fit his purposes and says that Malik was one of Mallam’s victims. Amir regrets having reported Malik for what was supposedly lies. The phone is still ringing. Kazeem picks up the phone and lies to Mallam that he has killed Amir. Kazeem tells Amir to “disappear.” Kazeem says he is going to meet Mallam and some other followers at a mosque on Fatai Street. Amir advises Kazeem to go home instead, implying that Amir plans to bomb the mosque.

Amir wakes Nkem up and tells her he plans to kill Mallam, which makes her grateful so she hugs Amir. However, Amir recoils, which confuses Nkem. She asks if he’s ever been “intimate.” He says he’s been intimate before, but not with a woman. When Amir was adopted from the orphanage, Amir says the man who arranged his adoption was called Ofili. Amir flashes back to threatening the driver who Amir later stabbed, implying that Ofili is that driver. Amir, in the present, says that Ofili took him to meet his new father, Mallam Sadan. Amir flashes back to the same scene from earlier wherein Amir called himself Joseph and Mallam spoke with Sister Dorcas. Amir confirms that Mallam is his father according to the adoption papers, “but we did things that a father and son should never do!” going on to say that he too was sexually abused, but by Mallam instead. The sexual abuse continued throughout the an entire weekend. Amir doesn’t think of it as abuse, though, because Mallam treated him with affection. Mallam then sent him to a religious camp to be indoctrinated, where Amir met Malik. Once Amir and Malik formed a friendship, Malik opened up to Amir about being sexually abused by Mallam as well. This implies that Malik’s “lies” mentioned earlier, that Amir reported, were Malik’s stories of sexual abuse at the hands of Mallam. Amir became jealous, because Amir perceived the abuse as an expression of love, and Amir thought Mallam had loved only him.

Amir tells Nkem when and where he plans to kill Mallam. Nkem gives Amir the suicide bomber vest. Amir clarifies that the man he fought was not Malik, and that Malik had come from a different orphanage. Amir confesses that his reporting Malik’s “lies” about abuse led to Malik being stoned by Amir and the other child followers.

Nkem gently tells Amir he was never special to Mallam. She explains that Amir was manipulated via shame and need for affection. Amir covers himself, including his face, with a robe so Mallam can’t see him. Before leaving the building, he gives Nkem enough money to pay for Chidi’s surgeries, which makes her cry. Amir passes out again, which makes Nkem cry harder.

When Amir regains consciousness, he finds a letter from Nkem. She has taken the suicide bomber vest and left all the money that Amir gave her. She also took the white robe that Amir planned to use to cover the vest. The letter makes it clear that Nkem plans to sacrifice herself, and she asks Amir to save Chidi and Amir himself. The camera cuts between Amir reading the letter and Nkem walking up to Mallam, where she detonates the vest. Mallam stands still until the vest detonates, meaning he most certainly dies in the explosion. Amir falls as a result of the blast’s shockwave. He stands up and looks out the window.

Credits roll briefly.

In a mid-credits scene, an unidentified man calls St. Luke’s Hospital and confirms he is speaking with the hospital’s proprietor. The man identifies himself as Chidi’s uncle and says that the operation’s cost, 5 million Naira, was too high. Chidi’s uncle demands that the hospital give him a partial refund of the cost of the operation. The doctor refuses and the call ends. Somebody knocks on the door, and Chidi’s uncle opens the door. Outside it stands Amir, who makes direct, sinister eye contact with Chidi’s uncle.

Brcko, a provincial salesman (Arnošt Grund), comes to Zagreb and meets a diva from the operetta (Irma Polak). He takes her to various places, including a public swimming pool on the Sava, and buys her a new outfit. Brcko's wife learns about what is going on in Zagreb. She arrives in the city and finds the two sitting in a café. The wife makes a scene and sprays Brcko in the face with a soda water syphon.

A mother tells her young son, Savva, a bed-time story of White Wolves who once protected their human village. Though the wolves disappeared mysteriously many years ago, it is fabled that a warrior will one day save their village.

Soon after the village is attacked by hyenas who capture the humans to be sold as slaves to Mom-Jozee, the three headed monkey queen. Savva is the only one to escape, thanks to the help of a white wolf named Anggee that suddenly appeared. Anggee offers to take Savva with him to a magician he is going to visit, as there will be a warrior there who can save the village, but they will have to pass through the land of the monkeys. Savva agrees and they soon encounter a small pink creature named Puffy who insists on joining their band, as he too is seeking the magician so that he can be turned back into a prince. They then save an ugly creature/man named Fafl from monkeys, who also claims to be a once-handsome semi-baron who was cursed with ugliness by a witch, as well as to be permanently accompanied by the Mosquito King (who sits on his shoulder) until they agree on something (which is unlikely, seeing as they can't stand each other). Mom-Jozee orders her spies to follow the band passing through her territory.

Puffy is kidnapped by natives who live in a nearby swamp, believing him to be the incarnation of their god, Makatunga. The tribe then captures the rest of the group, originally to kill them, but then frees them. They learn that the Shaman of the tribe, Shisha, had previously used his magic to partially break Anggee's curse, allowing him to become a white wolf again. Shisha also tells Savva that the tribe intends to help Makatunga return to heaven by killing him. Savva rescues Puffy from the temple but are followed by Nanty, Shisha's granddaughter, who has a mutual attraction to Savva and asks to join them.

That night Nanty witnesses Anggee sneak away and transform into a Rickie, human-like creatures that are enemies of humans and most other races. Savva doesn't forgive Anggee for lying to him but is then kidnapped by another Rickie on the orders of Anggee's father. Mom-Jozee, learning that the Rickies are actually the white wolves, declares war on the Rickies so that they can never again become white wolves.

Anggee returns to the Rickie kingdom and confronts his father, the king, about his plan to undo their curse by visiting the Magician. The king tells his son he has no desire to become a white wolf again and refuses to help, but agrees to let Savva go. After everyone regroups Anggee explains to them the story of how, during a time of famine, his father (while they were still white wolves) had attacked a human. As a result all the white wolves were cursed to be Rickies, and because they believed themselves to be powerful, they were cursed to fear one of the smallest animals in the forest, mosquitoes, that can kill Rickies with a single bite.

As the monkey army approaches the group is joined by the natives and the Rickies, sent by Anggee's father after learning the monkeys had declared war. Before the battle, Nanty uses her magic to sharpen Savva's sword. As the two armies clash Mom Jozee attempts to send a swarm of mosquitoes onto the Rickies. Anggee's father joins the battle riding a giant dragon. Fafl is forced to agree with the Mosquito King that only he can stop the swarm, freeing the Mosquito King and allowing him to command the swarm to instead attack the monkeys.

After the battle Savva and the group finally reach the magician's home atop a mountain in a house that walks on two legs. The magician, who is actually a little girl, grants everyone's requests. Fafl returns to his original appearance and is granted the title of full-baron. Anggee and the Rickies (except his father, who was happy being a Rickie) become white wolves again. Puffy, who wasn't actually a cursed prince, desires nothing, explaining that he only wanted friends. Nanty also says that she has everything she needs. Savva is directed to another room to find the warrior but all he finds is his reflection in a mirror, causing him to realise he himself has become the warrior he was searching for. He returns to his village and defeats the hyenas' leader in single combat, making him promise to never attack the village again.

Anggee departs to carry out his duties as the white wolves' new king, Fafl decides to continue travelling the world with Puffy as his new companion. Nanty stays in the village with Savva, who is upset that he may never see Anggee again. However, Anggee, who had never intended to stay away forever, returns to the village. The film ends with Anggee, Savva and Nanty running across a field of flowers.

In ''the Runaway Rice Cake'', the poor Chang family has hardly any food to celebrate the Chinese New Year. When they finally manage to put together a rice cake, it suddenly comes to life and leaps away. The Chang family chases the rice cake all through the village until it comes across a hungry old lady. Realizing she is hungrier than they are, the Chang's offer the old woman some of the rice cake, but she eats all of it. The community is moved by the Chang's willingness to give up their only meal, so when they return home, the family is greeted by a wheelbarrow full of what little food the community could gather for the New Year's celebration. These acts of selflessness earn the praise of the Kitchen God who decides to award the village. The story is similar to ''The Gingerbread Man''.

The book concludes with an author's note, including instructions on how to celebrate the New Years and a recipe for "Baked Nian-Gao" and "Steamed Nian Gao". There is also a pronunciation guide for readers unfamiliar with Chinese words.

The three Chang brothers are constantly overworked by a mean, old fisherman. One day the fisherman scolds the boys for forgetting to prepare his lunch. The boys gather fish and other ingredients to make a delicious soup, then decide to trick the fisherman by digging a hole, filling it with water, and tossing in rocks. They then convince the fisherman that this is how they prepared the soup using special "flavored rocks", astonishing the gullible fisherman. The narrator insists that this is the "real" stone soup story.

The book concludes with an author's note and a recipe for "Chang Brother's Egg Drop Stone Soup".

Four college friends, led by best man Marc, attend a bachelor party in Las Vegas for Chris, who is getting married in six days.

Donald Duck, the apple farmer notices his apples have been nibbled on into applecores and catches Chip 'n' Dale in the act when he sees them dumping them in his basket. He captures them & demands apples that aren't eaten. They convince him that they have more better apples, & persuade him to follow them but when he reaches their home, he instead gets more applecores & receives a nasty bite that causes him to fall while Chip & Dale also drop his basket. Seeing them load uneaten apples like a conveyor belt, he try's to detour their paths, but they always get the apples back on track by copying him & he once again falls out while trying to ram them. He results in having to use force, by acquiring his helicopter from the barn, & going to his lab to fill it with insect powder. By means of a shooter/sprayer at the back, he covers the entire apple field with the powder, & waits until the area is clear. But when he checks if they are dead, he sees that they have somehow donned tiny gas masks & they continue to eat the apples & by means of a running gag throughout the film that involves one person saying "Applecore" the other then saying "Baltimore", then the other person asking the other "who's your friend?" & the person that the other mentions is bombarded with applecores, when Donald says his "friend" is himself, the chipmunks bombard him & cause him to fall off his helicopter. Donald then proceeds to steal their supply by using the helicopter's back propeller to cut a hole in the tree & then putting them in his helicopter. When the chipmunks notice all their apples are gone, Donald then plays the same applecore bombarding gag on Dale which results in Chip getting bombarding after Dale says Chip's his friend, & in anger, Chip throws an apple on Dale. Donald then stores all their apples in his silo. The chipmunks then try to get the apples without causing a flood of apples to come down on them. However, Dale sets it off & they are covered in apples along with Donald, who was standing on top of the silo. After he gets bombarded by the last apple in the silo, he finally snaps & goes & combines the insect powder with his other potions, including poison, atomic dust, essence of TNT, lye, acid, nide, arse, to create a super deadly atomic mixture, then finally adds atomic pills into the mixture to use as artillery. Chip & Dale then use the advantage to steal all of Donald's apples during then. By the time they are finished, Donald arrives & bombards them with the atomic pellets, destroying the silo & a haystack (revealing a needle in the ash) in the process. In the ensuing chase, a pill accidentally enters the chicken coop, where one of his hens eats it, causing it to instantly laying an egg time bomb that explodes while Donald is holding it & realizing the situation too late, creating a hole that sends him all the way to China. While he & a Chinese squabble, the chipmunks then drop all the already eaten applecores down the hole causing the applecore gag to play out again, as after the gag with Donald claiming his "friend" to be himself, is heard being hit by a gong as Chip & Dale celebrate their victory.

Donald is doing his yard work and expecting his nephews - they keep sneaking off to play their pretend game, "Indians on the warpath." Then, he used his typical strong arm tactics to send his nephews to do their chores. Later, a little shoulder professor called, "child psychologist" convinces Donald to join in the games, using the game for the nephews' chores. Complicating matters are the cannibals, who have escaped from a circus. They spot Donald and think he would make great duck stew. But, Donald mistakes the cannibals for his nephews playing games and plays along until his real nephews play with him, realizing the other three are real cannibals. His nephews take off in fear while the cannibals try to cook Donald, who is praying for his life to be spared until one of the cannibals bites Donald to "taste" him. Donald loses his temper and takes the cannibal out to the woodshed. Then, the cannibals escape out of Donald's place. While Donald staring at his nephews, he taunted them back to chop their wood for the second time. Ashamed of Donald listening to the "child psychologist", he takes him to the woodshed as well.

When their rat tower collapses and they get into a squabble, they are interrupted by the mother rat who tells them their father wants to take them for a walk. Although the father rat (Ignatz) declines to do so, the mother rat angrily hurls a stool in the house, compelling him to come out with the stroller which the ratlings board.

A fancy domed restaurant is open in the city, and famous actors make up most of the patrons. This catches the attention of Krazy who aims to get their autographs. A thin pointy-nosed man comes out of a luxuriant car, and walks toward the restaurant. Krazy comes and asks for his signature of which the man accepts to sign. Krazy wants to collect more autographs but the bouncer would not let him enter the place.

To get around the bouncer, Krazy enters the back door of the restaurant. There, he finds Laurel and Hardy working as dishwashers. When Krazy asks for an autograph, Laurel is the one to sign.

Krazy then proceeds to the dining area. He meets a mustachioed man who signs by writing three x's with watermelon seeds. He next meets a curly-haired woman who writes "you can be had" on his book. He then meets the Marx Brothers who sign by playing tic-tac-toe. He then comes across Jimmy Durante who is not in the mood to sign, but an eerie woman sharing Durante's table, and even mimicking the actor's catchphrase, is the one to write.

As Chaplin stands up before leaving, however, numerous butter knives drop from that actor's garments. This attracts the bouncer who spots and starts chasing Krazy.

The bouncer chases Krazy across the restaurant. After bashing a lot of objects and a few bystanders, the bouncer eventually catches Krazy. But to Krazy's amazement, the bouncer turns out to be a fan who just wants the cat's autograph.

Porky is working backstage flipping switches and things while singing and whistling "You Ought to be in Pictures", but he is stopped by a "PSST". It came from an African pygmy ant in a cage and he wants Porky to let him out. So Porky open the cage door and did let him out. When the ant goes out, he makes a dash for it. Porky who spun and fell because of the dashing ant looks at the bottom of the cage and is surprised by the price of the ant, $162,422,503.51 (equivalent to $3,106,446,395.70 in 2022). Porky then sees the ant on a rope and runs after him, but he trips over a trunk and falls into it. He emerges from the trunk wearing a magician's hat and takes it off only to find that a magic rabbit is sitting on his head. The ant mocks and laughs at Porky's misfortune. Eventually, the rabbit comes off of Porky's head, he put on his work hat back on and ran upstairs.

The ant sees Porky coming and swing onto a platform. The ant then walks on a high wire with Porky right on his tail. The ant stops Porky and shows him what's down below, indicating that Porky's high up. Porky nervously tries to walk back to the platform, but the ant wiggles and jiggles that wire and causes Porky to fall down. The ant then slides down a rope, reaches the bottom and spots a table full of food. So he decides to go there. First the ant jumps up & down on a sandwich, falls into the bread, takes a piece of it and eats it. Porky just caught up with the ant and attempts squish him by slamming his hand down on the sandwich, but he got away. He then finds the ant on a jar of mustard and sticks his hand in there. But again, the ant escapes. The ant while sitting on a soda bottle then showed Porky how to remove his hand from the jar, which is to smash it on the table. Porky succeeds, but his hand is covered in mustard and sticks it to his mouth. The ant then gave Porky a bottle of turpentine to drink. This may be an attempt to kill Porky as the ant then shows Porky a lighted match. But Porky was no fool. He attempts to catch the ant by diving onto the table, but all he got is raining food and meat on his head. Porky then decides to lure the ant out of hiding by holding a stick of candy cane for the ant. The ant took the bait, but he switches the candy for a stick of dynamite. Porky throws the stick of dynamite and it pushes away the candy. Porky tries to warn the ant about the dynamite, but the latter doesn't listen, he just lies there on the dynamite. Porky hides as the dynamite explodes, but it didn't blow the ant up. Instead it took the ant back to his cage. Porky smiles now that the ant is back where he belongs and the now scorched black ant smiles too as the cartoon ends.

Krazy is a train engineer, driving an old train. While Krazy enjoys himself and even sings ''I've Been Working on the Railroad'', the passengers are disoriented by the coaches tilting back and forth. When the train stops at a station, the passengers exit, express their dislike of the ride, before boarding a more modern train at the place.

As Krazy continues to run his train, a villainous mutt, some miles ahead, ties a man and a woman, who are a couple, onto the track. Krazy, however, notices the restrained couple on time. Krazy dives his train into the ground, going under them, before getting back to the surface. Krazy comes out of the train to untie the couple. The man gives Krazy a sack of cash as a sign of gratitude.

Krazy uses the money he received from the man to purchase one of the modern trains. The man and the woman are onboard as passengers. But troubles are not over as the mutt returns in an airplane to drop bombs on the train. The couple, however, is not defenseless as the man uses a trumpet to summon an army tank to the scene. After firing several rounds, the airplane is eventually shot down.

The scene descends upon a small Mexican town, where a large woman intensely washes a union suit (and the suit returns the favor) in a public fountain, while a mariachi band performs outside the Brown Sombrero. Porky Pig is selling tamales that are so hot, a nearby bird that steals one promptly explodes and is roasted.

At the local stadium, the townspeople gather to watch a hotly anticipated bullfight pitting matador Ponchi Pancho against Slapsie Maxie Rosenbull, the Mexican Golden Gloves champion bull of 1940. Both humans and "contented cows" are excited to watch the fight. When the bell sounds, the matador flaps his cape and Slapsie charges into the matador. At first, Slapsie admires Ponchi's cape, but then takes it from him. Ponchi screams and runs away with Slapsie giving chase. Ponchi makes it over a bullseye fence and Slapsie hits it so hard that a mounted spectator in the ring laughs hysterically at him. An annoyed Slapsie chalks up his horn as though it were a pool cue ("Screwball in the side pocket") and charges into him, transforming the heckler and his horse into a centaur.

Porky arrives in the stadium and wanders into the ring, offering to sell Slapsie a tamale before realizing his customer and running away. After a brief chase, Slapsie blocks Porky's escape but is enticed by the smell of the tamales and offers to buy one, skeptical of its heat. As the tamale takes effect and burns Slapsie's innards, he panics and busts a hole through the stadium walls, stampeding away in pain. The spectators declare Porky champion and hero, lavishing him with hats; when a small derby lands on his head, he imitates Oliver Hardy.

Donald's brand new paint job on his car is threatened by a bird that only wants a thread for its nest.

A radio news report from Walter Windshield (a spoof of Walter Winchell) says that a mysterious phantom has been haunting Hollywood for weeks, ruining pictures and frightening stars. At Warmer Bros Studios (a spoof of Warner Bros, the company that owns the ''Looney Tunes''), the phantom is on his rampage.

Studio cops look all around the lot for the phantom. They even question famous movie monsters like Frankenstein, who's biting his fingernails as a cop grills him with questions.

Later, the phantom climbs a spiral staircase all the way to the ceiling, then slides back down the pole to the top floor. Then he sneaks into The Invisible Man's dressing room and reveals himself to be The Invisible Man himself. He then tells his audience that the reason he's been doing what he's doing is because he was fired after starring in one picture (presumably his self-titled picture based on the book). Then he tells his audience that he will crack every camera, wreck every reel, smash every set and scaring off every star away from Hollywood, and laughs.

Fed up with the phantom's wrath, the public and the police call upon Mr. Motto (Porky Pig) to stop him. Unfortunately, Mr. Motto is currently on vacation. The police chief doesn't care if Mr. Motto is on vacation and demands that they summon him.

Mr. Motto is on a tiny island reading a book about Ju Jitsu. He suddenly receives a phone call and answers the coconut. The caller tells Mr. Motto about the phantom and so he ends his vacation and flies off to Hollywood. He crash lands in the chief's office and greets the chief with a throw down. Mr. Motto apologizes and goes to work at once.

While Mr. Motto searches for the phantom, The Invisible Man phantom spots him, takes off his black attire and blends into a poster showing an actress named Lotta Dimples in a film called ''Great Guns''. Mr. Motto came by, continues his search, and gets kicked by The Invisible Man. The Invisible Man then grabs an ax and attempts to kill Mr. Motto. The Invisible Man corners Mr. Motto at a wall but before he could finish him off, Mr. Motto read his book again, grabs the ax and attacks the phantom. Mr. Motto even puts the ax down. Mr. Motto punches the phantom, throws him around and finishes him off. Then as the reporter reports on what's about to happen, Mr. Motto grabs his anti-invisible juice and sprays it all over the phantom. The Invisible Man phantom is revealed to be Hugh Herbert.

Mickey is driving an anthropomorphized taxicab in the city, and picks up an enormous pig who is so fat that he weighs down the car. An angry cat traffic cop browbeats Mickey for holding up traffic, and Mickey drives away as best he can. Mickey gets in a conflict with a tiny car driven by a dog, and cut each other off until the dog's car sinks into a water-filled pothole. Driving over rough road, the pig falls out of the car, and—after a rather violent parking job—Mickey discovers that his fare is gone.

For his next fare, Minnie Mouse is in a hurry to get to her music lesson, and the pair whistle and play the accordion during the journey. Mickey gets a flat, and has a hard time filling up the tire again. Peg-Leg Pete, wearing a top hat and ragged tuxedo, comes by driving a tricycle marked "Dr. Pep's Snake Oil". He insists on filling up the car with his miracle cure. The car instantly comes to life and speeds away, leaving Mickey behind. By the time he catches up with it, it's careening into a final disastrous crash through a barnyard.

Krazy and two kittens are having a tour at a zoo. They look at a giraffe, then a lion before they have a picnic. While the kittens are eating sandwiches, Krazy tells them a story about how courageous he was in the wilderness.

The scene goes into Krazy's story where he defeats a lion and a snake and proceeds to lead some animals in the wilderness. On the way, they are met by a vicious gorilla. While Krazy tries to confront the ape, it walks past him and chases the other animals. Eventually, Krazy takes some stripes from a zebra, and he uses them to snare the gorilla. Krazy stands victoriously over his subdued foe as his tale ends.

As the scene reverts to where Krazy and the kittens are still having a picnic, a tiger is on the loose. Krazy, at first, appears like he is going to face the tiger but decides to run seconds later. As he runs from the big cat, Krazy rides on a camel, then hops into the pouch of a kangaroo before going again on foot. While the chase scene is going on, the song ''Tiger Rag'' is played in the soundtrack. It turns out the chase is actually part of a movie scene as some studio men are shown filming it with their camera. Upon completing their shot of the chase, the studio men laugh. It also turns out the tiger is just an actor in a tiger suit who then laughs also. The kittens approach Krazy and give him a disdainful look as Krazy does not appear courageous as he was in his story.

Krazy is sitting on the slope of a hill until he is approached and greeted by a husky carrying a bowling ball. The husky asks Krazy to deliver the bowling ball to a terrier who is the husky's friend. The husky also tells Krazy that the terrier will pay him 5 cents for the delivery. Krazy accepts the request, and takes the ball.

On his journey to delivering to the terrier, Krazy carries the bowling ball on his head. While still on the slope, Krazy walks by a tree with a spider web on the branch. When the spider lowers right in front of his face, Krazy is startled and drops the ball which begins rolling away. The bowling ball rolls toward a pond where it breaks down a vertical log where a mongoose is sitting on. Both the mongoose and the ball drop into the pond as a result. When the bowling ball and the mongoose surface from the water, the mongoose mistakes the ball for a monster, and frantically runs away. Momentarily, Krazy arrives at the pond to retrieve the bowling ball.

The scene shifts to the mongoose who is in another place outdoors, standing in front of a picket fence. Just then, Krazy, with the bowling ball on top, comes by the other side of the fence. Because the fence is as tall as the cat, and the bowling ball is sticking above, the mongoose notices this and thought what he thinks is a monster is after him. Once more the mongoose resumes running.

The mongoose comes to the terrier's home to tell the resident about something scary going on. But the terrier calmly tells him that there is no such thing around. Moments later, Krazy also arrives. Krazy finally hands the bowling ball to the terrier who in turn pays the cat as promised. Ultimately realizing that his monster is merely the ball, the mongoose is annoyed and heads to the back of the terrier's home to plot something devious. The mongoose finds a block of granite, and aims to throw it at Krazy. But before he could do so, an overweight security guard notices, confronts, and asks him if he intends to do anything malicious with the block. Although the mongoose denies the suspicion, the guard confiscates the block, and tosses it upwards. But the airborne block still finds it way onto Krazy's head, knocking the cat off balance. Krazy even hallucinates, seeing a wallaby with wings.

Donald Duck constructs an automated dog washer. He attempts to use Pluto as his test subject, but Pluto refuses and hides in his dog house. Donald uses a rubber bone as bait, but it comes off the rope after a tug of war. When Donald uses a cat hand puppet as a dog bait, some soap is splashed on Pluto, making him look like a poodle. At this, Donald takes the opportunity and proceeds to get Pluto into the dog washer. But by then, the soap went into Pluto's nose, making him sneeze. It resulted in Donald flying into the dog washer and Pluto hitting the electric pole with the controls for the dog washer, thus activating it. As machine turns on, two robotic arms wearing boxing gloves grab Donald by the collar from the back and two arms scrub his head and mouth. Then it dumps his head and upper body in the water allowing it to scrub his rear end. Then a shower sprays Donald with water, rinsing the soap out. Then the arms grab Donald and place him on the drying table which dries his abdomen. Then the arms flip him over and grab his legs. Then an arm having a bottle of "Flea Powder" sprinkles it on his rear and hangs his rear with a pin on the washing line. Amused, Donald comments "Well, I'll be doggone! Absolutely perfect!" and laughs as the cartoon irises out.

Two old friends, Donald Duck and Spike hang out in a park and look back on their long friendship. They reminisce about picking up trash together, being tattoo artists, and then doing embroidery. Eventually Spike asks for time off and Donald presents him with a custom-built greenhouse full of flowers. Unfortunately is also contains a lady bee, which causes some jealousy from Donald.

When he emerges, more fleas climb onto his back.

Pluto returns to Mickey, who runs him through a series of dog commands – lay down, roll over, sit up and shake hands. When Mickey tells Pluto to "speak", Pluto does a brief Al Jolson impression, kneeling with outstretched paws and saying "Mammy!".

Mickey throws a stick for Pluto, who picks up a larger branch and carries it back to his master. Seeing the antler-like twigs in silhouette, Mickey thinks that Pluto's a moose, and he shoots. He finds Pluto lying motionless, and starts to cry, sobbing, "Oh, what have I done? Don't leave me, pal!" Pluto winks at the audience, as Mickey continues to cry. When Mickey begs him to say something, Pluto looks at him sweetly, and growls, "Kiss me!".

Mickey's delighted that Pluto's alive, but they hear a moose call and immediately return to the hunting trip. Pluto sniffs around, but completely misses the moose, who starts snuffling after Pluto instead. Pluto taps Mickey on the shoulder, points at the moose, and barks, "The moose! The moose!" Mickey tries to shoot the enormous moose, but his hands shake so much that his gun falls to pieces. The moose chases Mickey and Pluto, but Mickey uses Pluto's flapping ears to get airborne, and they triumphantly fly away, Mickey riding on his dog's back.

Dale is reading a book of fairy tales with a story about a brave warrior fighting a mighty dragon. Fascinated with the action and drama of being a knight, Dale mimics the adventure in his own way. Suddenly, a loud noise comes in, & a scary shadow appears. The features of the "monster" make Dale instantly expect he's face-to-face with a dragon, and with that, he scurries home to find Chip. He ends up crashing into him carrying acorns and rapidly explains everything. The duo go to find the monster; however, it left. Chip beats up Dale in anger but the rumbling starts happening as the monster reappears, Chip and Dale hide in their stash of nuts without even finding out that its none other than a Steam shovel, Donald Duck being its owner. Donald finds that if their tree is in the way, he can't build his freeway! From then on its a series of hilarious gags that we witness.

The tractor starts digging, warning Chip and Dale that if they don't move fast, they and their tree will be goners. The chipmunks retaliate by hitting & pelting it with objects. Seeing the retaliation scene, Donald grabs the grass with his tractor, flinging Chip and Dale away. Inspired by the fairy tale, the chipmunks make their own costumes and become knights, their goal being to save their home. Chip and Dale hurry to the battlefield, where Donald is preparing a surprise attack by mounting a flamethrower in the shovel which burns Chip's sword, forcing them to retreat. As Donald's tractor rests fake, Chip and Dale sneak up on the beast, before unleashing the attack. Donald sets the tractor on the chipmunks to squash them, but they manage to escape. Thinking they killed the tractor, the chipmunks celebrate, but they are grabbed and chomped by it. Inside, realizing they got eaten, the chipmunks push their way out with a pipe. Infuriated, Donald gives it a new tooth: a golden one.

A wild goose chase then occurs, with Chip and Dale retaliating by pelting a boulder & throw a barrel of tar on the predator, leaving it with no teeth. The chipmunks evacuate, but Donald grabs them and sets them in a toolbox. Chip and Dale make their getaway with a saw and use wrenches to dismantle the tractor. The remains are Donald and the chair who crash beak-first, leaving Donald dazed while the chipmunks roll back home. The chipmunks taunt Donald, who figures that if he can't force them out, he'll blast them out with dynamite. He sets firecrackers around the tree, lights the dynamite, and rushes off to await the explosion, but Chip and Dale extinguish the firecrackers, collect them, and replace the rungs on the ladder with the dynamite. Dale gets Donald alert, who then pursues him until he gets him to stop, look and listen. When Donald finds out about the charade, he quickly hurries off ''with'' the dynamite. The dynamite ladder explodes 4 times sending Donald high into the air. As they witness, Chip plays a trick on Dale; he pretends that ''he's'' the monster. When Dale finds out about the prank, the chipmunks share a good laugh as the short concludes.

In the Sahara Desert, where it is so hot even the fan dancers use electric fans, Porky Pig is in the French Foreign Legion. While leaving a restaurant (known as the Brown Turban) he gets a message from a spy named Tattle Tale Gray that Ali-Baba and his dirty sleeves are going to attack a Beau Geste type desert fort.

Porky is given the task of getting there before the bombing begins. He goes to U-Drive Rent-a-Camel and rents Baby Dumpling the camel, voiced by Dicky Jones, then races off in order to get to the fort.

He gets there, only to discover that all the Legionnaires have gone to the Legion convention in Boston. He is thus alone with Baby Dumpling when Ali-Baba, known as "the mad dog of the desert," decides to attack the fort. After a familiar scenario of gags (one defeated desert warrior marches about with a sign saying, "This fort unfair to Arabs"), Ali-Baba enters the fort and menaces Baby Dumpling, the camel. Baby Dumpling blows a nearby bugle and calls for help.

Back at the rental store, the Mother Camel hears Baby Dumpling's call and begins running into the desert to rescue him and Porky, but then changes course back to the rental store and gets a full tank of water from the nearby filling station. Will a full tank, the Mother Camel races to the fortress and knocks Ali Baba over the fortress wall, saving Porky and Baby Dumpling.

Finally, a suicide warrior (who has been sitting on the bench that says "Reserved for Suicide Squad" with the attackers' secret weapon, a bomb tied to his head) runs toward the fort, intending to blow it up. Porky sees him coming and throws open the fort's front door and he charges through as Mother Camel and Baby Dumpling open the fort's rear door, redirecting him to the oasis, where he runs right into Ali-Baba, turning Ali-Baba and the Dirty Sleeves into tents that are easily sellable. That's all folks!
