Thaddeus Toad, un joven multimillonario pendenciero, que derrocha su fortuna por sus obsesiones. El segundo relato es 'La leyenda de Sleepy Hollow', escrito por Washington Irving. En un agradable pueblo de Sleepy Hollow, situado a las afueras del estado de Nueva York, llega el singular profesor Ichabod Crane, que se enamorará perdidamente de la bella Katrina van Tassel. La aparición del fantasma del llamado Jinete sin Cabeza durante la noche de la víspera del día de Todos los Santos convertirá la estancia de Ichabod Crane en una tortura .
