Day Of The Killer, Night Of The Fool On the site of the F. A. Schist's construction site, the Man-Thing recalls how the Slaughter Room device causes him so much pain, so the creature fights through several of Schist's construction workers to destroy it. Meanwhile, with the truth about their stolen money determined, the Skull-Crushers thank Richard and Ruth for their help before leaving the newly formed couple. On the road, the biker gang comes across the Foolkiller, who determines the entire gang to be fooled and kills them all with his laser pistol, but before learning the location of Richard Rory.
A helpful stranger, F. A, gives Richard and Ruth gas. Schist and Hargood continue to conspire to destroy the Man-Thing. When they are confronted by the Foolkiller, who gives Schist 24 hours to live but flees to destroy another target: The Man-Thing when Schist orders his men to grab him. While on the hunt for the Man-Thing (whom the Foolkiller knows is Ted Sallis), he spots a helicopter. Thinking it's one of Schist's, he shoots it down. The downed helicopter draws the Man-Thing to its location and saves its occupants (in reality, a family, not people employed by Schist) from a pack of hungry alligators. After the Man-Thing saves their lives, the muck-monster is attacked by the Foolkiller, who seemingly kills the beast with his laser pistol.
