Plot Summary

Roger Shackleforth finds himself infatuated with Leila, a beautiful young woman who wants nothing to do with him. As he monopolizes a pay phone, someone waiting to make a call refers him to Professor A. Dæmon, a seller of books, notions and potions, who - the man says - can help Roger with his unrequited love problem. Although the Professor tries to dissuade him, Roger happily buys a love potion for $1, anyway. The potion works even better than Roger had anticipated. But six months later, Roger returns to the Professor to find a solution to his new problem. Written by garykmcd / edited by Hans Delbruck
