So stop me if you heard this one before. Someone is wronged and uses Mad Science to exact his revenge. This was a typical plot device used for Lugosi and Karloff vehicles, but in this case, it's Lionel Barrymore, who was wronged by evil bankers instead of being the evil banker he was in "Wonderful Life".
The method he uses is miniaturized people whom he can control with his thoughts. Oh, and for some reason, he's dressed as a woman for the whole movie. It was like a 1930's game of Mad Libs...
Unlike most movies of this sort, it's morally gray... we aren't really sure who we should be cheering for. His revenge doesn't actually kill anyone, just leaves on person miniaturized and another paralyzed.
This was also one of the last films done by Todd Browning of Dracula fame...
