A disparate group of people is trapped on a remote island where a doctor is working to make humans twice as small, in order to prevent the problems of over-population. Unfortunately, his experiments have also created some giant shrews (played by dogs wearing carpet remnants). As the shrews run out of smaller animals to eat, they move in on the stranded people.
