Une nuit sans lune, deux hommes s'évadent du bagne de Devil's Island. L'un d'eux est banquier et s'appelle Paul Lavond ; l'autre est un savant-fou nommé Marcel. Les deux hommes parviennent à se réfugier chez le savant qui ne tarde pas à dévoiler son invention révolutionnaire : une technique pour rétrécir les êtres vivants. Malheureusement, le processus de rapetissement endommage le cerveau des victimes mais permet ainsi de les contrôler par la pensée, comme des poupées. Lorsque Marcel décède subitement, Lavond s'empare de l'invention et, dissimulé à Paris sous les traits d'une vieille femme, fomente un plan diabolique : se venger des gens qui l'ont envoyé au bagne...
