Owen sends his Pixie friend to Ireland to retrieve his pot of gold for Wilbur, who insists that he serve him until the Pixie returns.

Synopsis for Doctor Mid-Nite: "The House Where Things Go Wrong"
The Yates, an elderly couple, were afraid they were having hallucinations and attacks of delusion. They asked Dr. McNider for help, and that night he paid them a visit as Dr. Mid-Nite. He discovered a ploy by their nephew Jasper to set things up around the house to make the Yates think they were going mad. If they had left the house like he planned, he could have let some crooks that he owed money to rob the place of all it's valuables. But since his plan was uncovered by Dr. Mid-Nite, Jasper and the crooks were all sent to jail, with Jasper deciding to go straight after his sentence was over.
