Respected Parisian banker Paul Lavond is framed for robbery and murder by crooked associates and sent to prison. Years later, he escapes with a friend, a scientist who was working on a method to reduce humans to a height of mere inches (all for the good of humanity, of course). Lavond, however, is consumed with hatred for those who betrayed him, and takes the scientist's methods back to Paris to exact painful revenge.

not a bad little yarn about an escaped prisoner who uses a mad scientist to shrink people to use for nefarious schemes. The end of Brownings films brings Barrymore into a role that funnily enough reminds me of Mrs Doubtfire but without the comedy. Effects are not bad for 1936, not a film i will remember but was worth a look if you are a Browning fan.
