DR. SHRINKER: EPISODE 4 (TV)
Summary
The second of two programs on B:41424. One in this comedy program about a trio of teenagers, known as “Shrinkies,” shrunk to six inches tall by a mad scientists’ shrink ray and forced to flee from him as he endlessly pursues them across his island. Gordie and Brad have stolen Dr. Shrinker’s shortwave radio, allowing them to listen in on Dr. Shrinker’s plans. However, Dr. Shrinker has captured B. J., hoping to sell his shrink ray to The Great Bandini, a world-famous magician, to be incorporated into his magic act. Brad and Gordie overhear Dr. Shrinker speaking with The Great Bandini and go to rescue B. J. Bandini is impressed with the sight of the shrunken B. J., but she raises doubts in Bandini’s mind, prompting Dr. Shrinker to try to capture one of the other Shrinkies. Brad and Gordie infiltrate the house, but Brad is captured by Dr. Shrinker, convincing Bandini to purchase the shrink ray. Gordie manages to free Brad and B. J., and they use a projector to trick Bandini into thinking that Dr. Shrinker is a fraud. Enraged, Bandini leaves and the Shrinkies once again escape Dr. Shrinker’s grasp. Commercials deleted.
