Synopsis for "Trouble at the Ten-Year Club!"
When Ray Palmer shows up for a 10 year reunion of his fellow University graduates, they all donate items of great wealth that are associated with the careers they have gotten into since university. However, these items get stolen prompting Ray to get involved as the Atom.
It turns out that his fellow alumni Jack Archer is really a con-man that uses hypnotic suggestions to commit his crimes. Atom learns this when he is led to believe that Archer was able to magically make the Atom grow. However, when the Atom realizes that his costume didn't become invisible (as it would when he reaches his full height) he realized the secret to Archer's powers.
The Atom then defeats Archer and reveals the truth: that the items were not really stolen, they were all given a hypnotic suggestion to make it appear that they were stolen, so that Archer could collect them at a later date.

Synopsis for "Voyage to Beyond!"
Ray Palmer and Jean Loring have gone out on a cruise, however during a masquerade ball, everyone on the ship but Ray disappears. Ray soon learns that they have been replaced with creatures from the Randath dimension who have switched places and made themselves look like humans to initiate an invasion.
As Palmer is the only one who is aware of their plot, they force him to walk the plank off the ship. However, Ray changes into the Atom and gets back aboard the ship. There he uses his abilities to cause a nuisance to the invading Randathians.
Convincing them that there are more creatures like him on Earth causing trouble to humans all day long, the Atom convinces the invaders from Randath to give up their invasion, considering it not worth the trouble and so they return the captured crew and return to their own dimension.
