Synopsis for The Jester: "The Sextuplets"
A thief steals $100,000 in securities right out from under the police's nose. When he charges outside he runs into five other men who look exactly like him right down to their suits and hats. Though it would seem the perp can't be picked out of the crowd, the Jester says the thief killed a guard and can expect a murder rap, making the others turn on the one who actually snatched the loot, and in the process inadvertently confess to all being in on the robbery.

Synopsis for The Ray: "The Khan"
En route back to the states after escaping from a Japanese encampment, Happy and Bud are taken aboard a plane that the pilot crashes, but he only manages to kill himself. Wanting to get to the bottom of this Mongol's death, Happy requests the Russian military aim their most powerful searchlight toward the Himalayas, allowing him to ride the beam into the mountains as the Ray. There he encounters the Khan, a Mongol warlord of supernatural powers. He traps the Ray in a lightless dungeon and rides off to join the Axis powers with his army of horse raiders.
However, the candlelight of the jailer making his rounds is enough to energize the Ray again so he can break out of his cell. The light of magnesium flares gives him enough juice to fly to Moscow and intercept the Khan for a fight to the finish. When the Khan's sent falling to certain doom during their rooftop battle, his followers' faith in him is destroyed. With it is their invulnerability to the fires they'd created, and they're all consumed.
