Synopsis for "Million-Dollar Magic"
Caspar Creed is 65 years old, and he has spent a fortune searching for a magical object that will bring back his youth. After buying several objects that turn out to be fakes, Creed heads to Egypt to use a magical pearl scarab that apparently grants wishes. However, the scarab turns out to be a hoax just like all the others. Bitterly disappointed, Creed is about to leave, but a man offers him an old falcon that's about to be put to death. Creed feels sympathy for the bird, so he has it sent back to his mansion in Florida. When Creed returns home a few weeks later, the falcon has somehow become much younger. Creed then follows the bird into a nearby forest and accidentally steps into a small pond. Later that afternoon, Creed's assistant and butler go out looking for him. They find a baby in the pond, unaware that it's Creed. He has stumbled upon the Fountain of Youth.
