Synopsis for "The Return of the Living Mummy!"
The Living Mummy awakens inside of a crate in a museum in New York. He bursts free of his confines and begins wandering around the corridors. A security guard named Jones comes upon him, and flees in terror. He telephones the police, as well as the museum's curator, Dr. Carroll Harter.
Harter arrives at the museum, along with Alexi Skarab, but the Mummy is long gone. Skarab tells Harter the history of N'Kantu, and his recent resurrection and rampage in Cairo.
The Mummy meanwhile, wanders the streets of New York. He rests briefly in Central Park, until he finds two young thugs hassling a woman. The Mummy approaches them, but the thugs (as well as the woman) flee in terror. N'Kantu has no idea why they are so scared of him.
The two punks run into a police officer and explain what they had just seen. The officer radios the incident into headquarters and drives on to investigate.
Several squad cars converge on the scene and open fire on the Mummy. Several bullets strike a nearby vehicle, causing it to explode. In the midst of the explosion, the Mummy takes the opportunity to escape down a back alley.

Synopsis for "He Came from Nowhere!"
Strange Tales #94
A convict named Joe Morgan escapes from prison and runs deep into the woods. He suddenly sees a brilliant flash of light, and from it, steps a well-dressed man. The man introduces himself as Groff, and says that he comes from the future. He owns a special ring, that he claims grants him the ability to travel through time. Morgan pulls a gun on Groff and forces him to surrender the ring to him. He then uses the ring to travel to Groff's native time period, satisfied that he has permanently escaped justice. When he arrives in the future, he discovers that Groff himself was a criminal from Uranus, who used the ring to escape justice by traveling backwards into the past. The Uranian authorities capture Morgan and, believing him to be Groff in disguise, send him to prison.
