Synopsis:
The Mad Mod Witch discards a matchbook containing several colored matches. The matchbook is found by a miser who lights a match which burns green. Suddenly, he is overcome with the need to give away all his money. During his rush, he drops the matchbook which is picked up by a homely woman. She strikes a purple match which transforms her into a beautiful woman.

The woman then gives the matchbook to a young investor. He lights a blue flame and is granted good fortune in a real estate deal. Next a prison guard finds the matches and gives them to a death row inmate. He lights a black match. His death sentence is then revoked, but he still has a life sentence.

The matchbook is next found by a man who survives a plane crash. He finds a money pouch on the dead bank courier that was sitting next to him. He takes the money and hides in the woods. He uses a brown match to scare away wolves. However, the light of his fire attracts the police and leads to his arrest. One match remains, and the Mad Mod Witch wonders what will happen when it is lit.
