A jilted man stumbles over a group of time travelers who have returned to the year 1950. He returns with them and discovers that he can acquire a kit which will provide a mate in the future.

Synopsis for "The Last War on Earth"

Synopsis for "The Man Who Was Killed In Time!"

A man uses a time machine to unintentionally run himself down in an automobile.

Notes

In "The Last War on Earth" the scientist states that 500,000 years ago Earth was without life. Even in the 1950s this was nonsense as it was known that life had been on Earth for millions of years. In fact, in Weird Science #15's "Captivity" it is stated that life existed on Earth 500 million years ago.
