Plot:
A number of American ships explore throughout the solar system. One of the ships crashes into a meteor. From
the lunar base, a colonel sends Frank Chapman to lead an investigation on this suspicious meteor.
Amazing that rocket consoles don't need digital controls.
However, on the trip, Frank and his co-pilot lose track with the base and must take a spacewalk to repair their
rocket.
Outside, a meteor shower strikes. the co-pilot manages to get Frank back inside but is knocked away. Later, Frank
awakens and manages to land the rocket on the phantom planet.
Frank starts to examine the meteor and finds a number of tiny people (Smurf sized). Frank shrinks down to their
size. He tries to attack one of the guys. Later, Frank is put on trial and found guilty but the only sentence he's
given is that he can't leave the planet.
Frank is shown that Rheyton has quite a bit of technological advancement but has lowered a bit of their civilization,
too. Sessom, the planet's leader, tries to show Frank some of their ways and get him to accept this life since they
sent the rocket off the planet.
The lunar base sends a rescue ship to search for Frank. They find the rocket and Frank's last log entry.
Frank is shown some of the Rheyton's high gravity technology. They're afraid of the Solarites attacking them.
Haron, one of the high leaders, is angry that Frank might win Liara, Sessom's daughter, for a wife. Frank accepts
Haron's duel. The rules are explained. One must oush the other guy onto a high gravity plate that will disintegrate
them unless the winner lets the loser live.
Spock, this is Jim...Quit the Pon Far rite...
Frank decides to let Haron live.
Haron has the brilliant idea to help let Frank escape which will prevent Liara from chasing after him anymore.
The Solarites are preparing to attack Rheyton for their high gravity technology to keep their planet from falling
into the sun.
Rheyton's only previously captured Solarite prisoner escapes.
The Rheytons are quickly able to destroy the invading fleet.
Quit complaining. At least, you're not being carried by Ro-Man...
The one Solarite grabs Zetha, the mute girl that has
been casting eyes at Frank through the rest of the movie. Frank and Haron are able to push the Solartite on one of
the high gravity plates which disintigrates it.
Later, Haron readies the rest of his plan to help Frank escape back to Earth. Frank says goodbye to Zetha who
gives him some good luck token.
The rescue rocket finds the meteor and starts searching it. Frank is returned to his space suit with a little of
normal human oxygen in it which restores Frank to his regular size. Frank has flashbacks to some of all that has
happened to him since meeting the Rheytons, etc...The rescuers find him and return to the ship. Frank keeps talking
about Haron, Zetha, and the other Rheytons. The crew just think he's in shock and take off heading to the lunar
base.
