Synopsis for "Where Lurks the Ghost"
Tales to Astonish #25
(originally printed as I Was Captured By The Creature From Krogarr!)
An alien contacts a financially irresponsible Earthman through his TV set and offers to make him famous if he will just make a few adjustments to the TV and allow his body to pass from the alien's planet to Earth. The man does this, but the alien is hostile and had lied to him. He seizes the man and travels back to his home planet. He tells the man that he will be his proof that the method of travel works and puts in a call to his superiors. Once his superiors arrive and have seen the human, he is to be killed, and invasion plans drawn up. Suddenly the man fades away just before the superiors arrive. Angered, they kill the inventor and destroy his machine which they assume is worthless. It turns out that the man had neglected to pay the electric bill and the power to the TV set was shut off, thus saving all of Earth.

Synopsis for "Bat's Tale"
Elmer is a farmer who is impressed with the strength of Mr. Brewster's Agatha robot at the carnival and offers to pay Mr. Brewster for Agatha's assistance on the farm. Mr. Brewster agrees but with the condition he goes with Agatha, only he instructs her, and that she doesn't work at night. Elmer figures all he has to do to get more productivity out of the robot is to shoot Mr. Brewster but the rifle blast is ineffective because Mr. Brewster reveals that he is a robot also and breaks Elmer's neck.
