The title page of Plot reads, "Designed to encourage new and emerging writers in the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and suspense." Issue number three delivers a variety of work that fits the bill.

Thomas A Turcich's "The Experiment Hums" is a retelling, in an original way, of the "Christ was not what he seemed" idea. Though the ending was predictable, it was an interesting treatment.

"A Fool and His Money", by Michael Mardis, is a satisfying short fantasy tale in which a crooked peddler's attempt to dupe a buyer doesn't go quite as he expects.

"Summertime Wine", by Carol Weekes is a reminder to be careful what you drink, and though the story is reminiscent of others seen before, the characters she has created make it worthwhile.

Additional work includes Lyn McConcie, Milton E. Wheeler, Jr., Lenora K. Rogers, Stephanie Loyd, Margaret Macigewski, Laura Higgens, James S. Dorr, Paul Walther, and Barbara Rosen.
