Synopsis for "Find the Pin and Pick It Up"
A man's neighbor gives his dog a load of buckshot when it trespasses, so he uses voodoo to get even with him. What he doesn't know is that his intended victim has a servant who is familiar with occult practices so the dying man begs the servant to teach him the secret of reincarnation so that he may have his revenge. The dog heals up well enough to go for a walk once more, so its owner stabs the voodoo doll through the heart, killing its likeness. Startlingly, the victim's soul transfers into the dog at the moment of death, which leaps at its owner's throat in order to claim revenge.
