Batman
(AR AA, RN, blink TFs) "Joker's Provokers", 1966.
The Joker gets control of a key that can alter the flow of time. He uses it to speed up, slow down, or reverse a few crowd scenes (trick camera work). He decides to put something in the town's water to control all of Gotham. Alfred the butler goes undercover and catches Joker, the henchmen, and Cornelia (Kathy Kersh) at the water supply. He makes them drink a sample, and a struggle breaks out. Joker and the henchmen are forced back a few seconds in time. However, when Cornelia starts to move forward, something happens. Kersh is wearing a skintight outfit, and she is extremely curvy. She states "give Cornelia the little old key". The butler turns the key, and Cornelia blinks into a child in pigtails wearing a little girl's undertights about the same color as her adult costume. In a high pitched voice, she says "Mommie". The butler says "a bit too far" and quickly turns the key the other way. Cornelia is promptly restored to full adulthood.

Ginger Rogers) takes the next dose, and reverts to a shy schoolgirl who locks Grant out of the bedroom. The third dose turns them into young children. Finally, the board of the company gets dosed, and they turn into a group of boys. All of this is mental AR, but it is some of the best around. On the VHS box it states that Monroe gets a dose and turns into a kid, but this does not happen.

Something Occurred
(TF old aged) Benjamin Leopold Farjeon, 1893, 331p.
- After 1 year of marriage, young wife Edwina was suddenly transformed into an older person.
- text extracts:
"May I take the liberty of inquiring who you are?"
"Who am I?" replied the old lady. "Why, I am Edwina!"
"Merciful powers!" he cried, as he passed his hand across his brow. "Edwina!"
"Upon my word, love," said the old lady, "I shall get cross if you go on playing this stupid game any longer. But, heavens!" A sudden alarm seized her. "Something has occurred!" she cried. "I see it all! Oh, my poor darling, you have lost your memory! Your mind is a blank. Everything in the past is blotted out, and you will have to commence all over again. But I will stand by you, love. You will always be to me the dearest boy, and I will never, never desert you! Oh, how sorry I am for you, dear Harold, how sorry, how sorry!"
"Edwina," said Harold, much moved by her tenderness, "I have not lost my memory; I am" -he glanced at himself in the mirror over the mantelpiece- "myself. So far as I can judge, there is no change in my appearance, and I feel none mentally. I perceive now that you have Edwina's dress on, and, yes, Edwina's rings are on your fingers and the bracelet I gave you is on your wrist, though they are rather loose. Edwina -for I will continue to call you by that dear name till the crack of doom, whatever you become; no change in you will alter my feelings for you- Edwina, it is to you, not to me, that something has occurred!"
She saw that he was speaking the truth, and she rose slowly, trembling in every limb; and as she rose she discovered that her frock was both too short and too loose for her -which proved that in a few moments she had grown taller and thinner. Edwina, in her own proper person, was a plump little body, somewhat under the ordinary stature, and she might well lose a little in roundness and gain an inch in height without in the least detracting from her loveliness as an old lady. But the fear that assailed her as she now rose to her feet was that she had been transformed into either something hideous or something so ludicrous as to cause every one who saw her to shriek with laughter.
"Harold," she whispered, clinging to his arm, "you will not cast me off, will you? You will not run away from me?"
"Cast you off!" he cried. "Run away from you! How can you think that of me? I took you for better or worse, as you took me, and I am going to take care of you and to be true to you through thick and thin. There!"
He kissed her, and said to himself, "Not so bad," though of course he would have infinitely preferred Edwina's plump, smooth, velvety cheek. This sign of affection did not reassure Edwina. "Harold is such a dear fellow," she thought, "that he will submit to any sacrifice to comfort me." Very, very slowly, guided by Harold, she approached the mirror, but it was with closed eyes, and there she stood for quite a time with her hands before her face.
"Look at yourself, Edwina," said Harold encouragingly.
His voice was so exceedingly kind that it encouraged her to take a peep, and gradually she widened the lattice of her fingers, and gazed at her reflection with a feeling of intense relief; and as she gazed, a smile so charming came to her lips that Harold put his arm around her and pressed her fondly to him.
