Synopsis:
Roy Raymond investigates reports of tiny six-inch tall people. He meets actress Vivian Faversham who has been reduced to six inches in height and hardly believes his eyes. She directs him to Professor Deeworth who has invented a machine that can compress atoms.

Roy tests the machine on himself and Karen reducing the duo to tiny size. Then crooks break into the lab attempting to steal Deeworth's machine. He manages to activate the device and shrink the crooks. Roy and Karen then defeat the crooks before everyone is restored to normal height. Deeworth realizes his machine could be dangerous, so he has it destroyed.
