In a world where the supernatural and the grotesque intertwine, an innocent thief named Paul Lavond is unjustly condemned for a crime he didn't commit. After escaping from prison, he encounters an old and obsessive investigation by his childhood friend, the wickedly brilliant scientist, Dr. Ernest S. Fuchs. This scientist has been perfecting a strange method that allows him to shrink human beings to a tiny size, using his skills for manipulation and control.
With a new identity, Lavond becomes an eccentric figure, disguising himself as a poor old woman and utilizing the tiny "human dolls" that Fuchs has created to exact his revenge on those who betrayed him. As he infiltrates society, Lavond begins to liberate others who have suffered the same injustice as he has, showing that there is more to his mission than just revenge. The story intertwines with Lavond's internal struggle as he wrestles between the desire for vengeance and the possibility of redeeming his soul.
As the plot unfolds, terror and the macabre manifest as the madness of power and manipulation twists Lavond's mind. In a final confrontation, it is revealed how the boundaries of morality blur and how far a tormented mind can go when the opportunity for revenge presents itself.
