* SociallyUnacceptableCollection: In a story, a bored, reclusive millionarian decides to collect living people as a past time. He first collected beautiful women, but he soon had enough of their futile, empty talk (it is a 60s story). Then, he decided to collect the most gifted people in the world: the greatest violinist, pianist, tenor, ballerina and Mandrake, the greatest magician. The millionaire has them drugged and taken to his mansion in a remote island, were they wake up with shock collars. He orders them to give him a show with their gifts combined, promising that he'll free them, afterwards... brainwashed and hypnotized to forget their habilities, so nobody else will enjoy them! Despite their anger, the artists are forced to perform because of their shock collars; buutt, when it's Mandrake's turn, he hypnotizes the millionaire to think that he put on him his own collar. To not receive a shock, the coward man deactivates the collars, geting at the mercy not only of his angry victims, but of his servants, who were his slaves, too. Instead of sending him to prison, the group destroys all the communication on the island and all the vehicles except the plane they use too flee, stranding the selfish millionaire, who is abandoned to live off the island resources and all alone.
