Like the shrunken people it is about, this film is small but mighty!
Sally (June Kenney) gets a job at a doll maker called Mr Franz (John Hoyt). She notices that he keeps some remarkably lifelike dolls in glass containers however, she doesn't think any more about it. Or that Mr Franz has a strange looking machine in his back office that he likes to keep locked, or that a number of people who have worked for him have mysteriously gone missing...
Sally falls for salesman Bob (John Agar) and eventually plans to leave her job and move to another city with him, which disappoints Mr Franz. However, Bob is next to go missing. Sally then discovers that Mr Franz has shrunken Bob to doll size, and does the same to her! Like a number of other victims, Sally and Bob are now doll sized people who are let out of their glass cages for Mr Franz's amusement...
This is a lovely little film really, it may be small in budget and not well known but it is very watchable. The special effects may be a bit cheap, some of the outsize props are a little off in proportion but this is very fun stuff indeed. Hoyt is superb as the outwardly kind but secretly monstrous Franz.
