A wandering supernatural feline's trio of adventures. The staff at Quitter, Inc. promises to help a nicotine addict kick the habit. If he doesn't, someone in his family might get smoked. Then a luckless gambler is forced into a bet involving a stroll around the outside of a building's 30th floor - on a 5 inch ledge. Then a young schoolgirl is rescued from a vile, doll-sized troll.

A bungling cop and an inept lawyer lose their jobs and wind up at the Guard Dog Security Company. Even as security guards, they can't cut it until they figure out their company is dishonest.

A wandering supernatural feline's adventures provide the linking story for this thrillogy.

Gifted sculptor Ken Harrison is involved in a car accident, and is paralyzed from his neck down. All he can do is talk, and he wants to die. In the hospital he makes friends with the staff, and they support him when he goes to trial to be allowed to die.

Several convicts from a high-security prison escape the inhumane treatment of Chief Guard Ranken and break out into the icy Alaskan wilderness. The cons flee onto a departing freight train only to find themselves prisoners on a speeding train that is hurtling toward certain derailment, its conductor dead of a sudden heart attack.
