Synopsis:
While on a scientific expedition Captain Comet discovers an island upon which animals are giants or miniatures compared to their normal sizes. He meets Dr. Eric Jason who is responsible for the incredible size changes. Jason tells him that giant bees on the other side of the island are out to get him and are using humans as workers in their hive.

Captain Comet is overcome by a giant bee's sting. However, he shakes off the effects quickly and chases off the bees. He then returns to Dr. Jason who is really controlling the bees. While fleeing capture, Jason falls to his death. Captain Comet then reverses the miniaturization effect on the human slaves of the bee colony.
