Description:  The Odyssey and its crew are shrunk to miniature size by a beam of energy from a tropical planet. The tiny heroes must try to force the planet's ruler to restore them back to their normal size while avoiding his giant pet cat. A strange beam of light hits the Odyssey as it approaches a tropical planet. First the crew then the ship itself shrink to miniature size and the Odyssey crash lands into the ocean. Ulysses flies underwater in one of the shuttle-craft but becomes trapped inside a giant oyster - which begins turning his craft into a pearl. Telemachus takes another shuttle and goes in search of his father and finds a graveyard of other miniature spaceships upon the seabed. Telemachus' craft and some of the other ships are scooped up in a fisherman's net and soon after a native woman, pearl diver prises open the oyster and gets the pearl containing Ulysses shuttle. Both the fisherman and the pearl diver take their finds to the ruler of the planet, Antipodes, who keeps a menagerie of shrunken creatures in his temple which houses the prism he used to shrink the Odyssey.
