1987 First story titled "Old Chief Wooden Head"An elderly couple named Ray and Martha Spruce (George Kennedy and Dorothy Lamour) in the southwest oversee a general goods store with a cigar store Indian named "Old Chief Wooden Head" who adorns the front porch and are humbled to see their old, run-down town coming to a bitter end. The Spruces are then visited by a Native American elder from a local tribe who gives them turquoise jewellery as collateral for the debt the tribe has incurred. The elder bids them farewell and returns to his tribe. After the elder departs, the couple are then subject to a vicious robbery by the elder's nephew, Sam (armed with a shotgun) and his two friends. After ransacking the store, Sam demands that Ray hand over the turquoise. Ray resists, and as a result, the Spruces are then shot and killed by Sam. The three thugs then leave in their car and begin preparations to run away to Hollywood, California. Old Chief Wooden Head then comes to life and goes out on a warpath to kill Sam and his friends and avenge the murdered Spruces. Old Chief Wood'nhead brutally kills Sam's two friends and corners Sam in his home, Sam being unable to fight back as the shells from his shotgun have no effect on the wooden Indian. Sam attempts to lock himself in his bathroom but Old Chief Wooden Head breaks through the wall and scalps Sam as he screams in terror. The Native American elder then visits the Spruce's general store to find Old Chief Wooden Head on his pedestal, holding his nephew's scalp, aware of what has happened. He wishes the dead Spruces a peaceful afterlife and drives away.
