Synopsis:
Several large objects have disppeared recently, including a bank, a ocean liner, and an airplane. Detective John Jones investigates as the Martian Manhunter. Jones spots a suspicious character in a local museum after closing. The man shrinks the paintings to miniature size and takes them. Jones follows him to his hide-out where he finds the other missing objects.

Jones confronts the criminal, only to be shrunk by the shrink ray. The tiny martian is chased by the criminal. He manages to avoid getting caught and reaches the reverse ray which restores him to normal. Jones shrinks the villains and delivers him to police headquarters with the stolen loot.
