“Superman's Treasure Hoard”

Tommy and Brent find an abandoned desert planet which was evidently once home to an advanced civilization. They bring one of the machines found there back to Earth and Tommy volunteers to subject himself to the unknown rays. As a result he begins to shrink, eventually reaching microscopic size, at which point he encounters the inhabitants of the abandoned world, who had deliberately shrunk themselves when their planet could no longer sustain life. Rather than be restored to full size, they opt to live in the Planeteers' refrigerator.
