- Temptation
  - "Rent-a-Kid" starring Leslie Nielson. The opening segment shows a dream sequence. Little Molly is an orphan who just gets adopted. Her new family is extremely wealthy and has everything a child could want materialistically speaking. They even have their own merry-go-round in the house. The new parents tell Molly she can have anything or go anywhere in the house she pleases. She's just not allowed to go into this one room. It's off limits! Molly let's curiosity get the best of her and opens the door. On the other side she finds it is an exit to the outside with her new parents standing by a car waiting to take her back to the orphanage. Her parents are taunting her with phrases about how she just couldn't listen and do what she was told. It's back to the orphanage as she screams and then wakes up. This is a perfect little 3 minute or so clip depicting temptation and it's consequences, and it's funny too. (submitted by Charles Wilson, Columbus, Ohio)
