Zaroff visits an English scientist who has invented a process for enlarging any insect to any size that he wishes. Seizing upon the opportunity, Zaroff kills the scientist, seizes the machine for his own purposes, and meets with leaders from the major warring powers, offering (for a price) the use of this invention. Then, accompanied by Dacia, Zaroff sails to New York, planning to release a horde of the giant insects upon the United States, bringing disease, plague and death.
