The Man in Black joined two other men telling ghost stories. The mysterious figure recounts a tale of a disembodied hand and revenge. Two thugs bump off an office worker who saw the shady bookkeeping of his employer. The ghost of the victim sends his hand to strangle first the thugs and then the corrupt employer who put them up to the murder. When the two men listening to the Man in Black dismiss his story as nonsense, he reveals the stump where his hand used to be, and disappears into the ether.
