Directed by Tod Browning, sometimes referred to as "the Edgar Allan Poe of the Screen,’’ for his creation of “Dracula” and the late Lon Chaney mysteries, this Metro-Golldwyn-Mayer production stars Lionel arrymore, with a notable cast of supporting players. The story tells of a scientist, gone mad in his efforts to discover a means of shrinking the atom. He conceives the theory that if all living creatures might be reduced to one-slx’h of their natural size the world food supply would be adequate for all. His fantastic dream brings into existence a weird laboratary where animals and human beings are reduced according to his formula. But. in the process, their bralr . are destroyed, leaving them treacherous morons.
