Synopsis/Details
A professor shrinks a man down to six inches tall. The professor tells the man that he will be helping in his revenge on a doctor that wronged him in the past. As it is Halloween, the professor seals the man in an open candy wrapper. The plan is to give it to the daughter of the doctor when she comes trick or treating. Once inside the house, the miniaturized man will break free of the candy wrapper and steal the doctor's wife's precious diamond ring - then bringing it back to the professor. Unfortunately, the father notices that the wrapper with the man inside has been tampered with and instructs his daughter to throw it away. Before the miniaturized man can escape, the family dog snaps the candy bar out of the little girl's hand and swallows it. The girl's father tells her not to be upset as it was only a candy bar.
