Als ihr auf dem Rückweg das Benzin ausgeht, und sie die nächste Tankstelle ansteuert, wird ihr der seltsam wirkende Tankwart unheimlich.... In der zweiten Episode „Bishop of Battel“ geht es um einen Videospielautomat, der den Ehrgeiz eines jungen Zockers herausfordert. Er will unbedingt die 13. Ebene erreichen. Die dritte Story dreht sich um einen Priester, der dabei ist, seinen Glauben zu verlieren. Er beschließt, das Kloster in der Wüste, in dem er lebt, für immer zu verlassen.Auf seiner Fahrt durch die Wüste wird er von einem mysteriösen schwarzen Pick-up angegriffen... „Night of the Rat“ dreht sich um eine Familie, die meint, ein Problem mit Ratten zu haben. Der Ehemann stellt Fallen auf, die sogar einen Erfolg bringen.Doch die Geräusche im Haus lassen nicht nach, im Gegenteil.
