Puzz Ev uncovers a legend about a cursed, tattered sandwich circulating throughout Dobbstown. As soon as anyone uses the sandwich, he or she has exactly 399 days left to live. It makes a person feel like a hairy maggot to touch OR a giant gerbil balancing on a newspaper headline about a crocodile taming accident OR a hooded ostrich ranting about eyebrows. Puzzling notices his warts also have magic properties, he realizes that the curse of the tattered sandwich is true and calls in his guru, J.R."Bob" Dobbs, to help. "Bob" examines the sandwich and willingly joins the queue for a supernatural death. Puzzling and "Bob" pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions. Will Brad Dexter be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
