A disparate group is trapped on a remote island by a hurricane. On the island, a doctor works to make humans twice as small as they already are; apparently this will help prevent over-population. Unfortunately, his experiments have also created some giant shrews. As the shrews run out of smaller animals to eat, they move in on the people in the house.
