In "Inside the Cave!", a young man named Fred is shrunk to tiny size by a strange gas emanating from a rock. He stumbles upon a hidden civilization of even smaller people who believe humanity should all be reduced in scale.

The gas, carried away by the current, reaches the ocean and shrinks a massive whale.
