Claude Akins plays Commander Fletcher, and Joe Maross plays Navigator Peter Craig, two astronauts who are forced to make an emergency landing on an unknown planet after their ship runs into trouble. Forced to make repairs, Craig is told to explore the area for supplies, and to determine if it is inhabited or not. Craig does find life, but the tiny kind, as it turns out a very small community of little people about 1/100th their size exist, and unethical Peter Craig decides to become their God, and doesn't much care if it's a loving or angry one... Far-fetched but memorable episode may be morally obvious, but it makes its point well, and Maross is quite a sight to see, especially at the surprise(?) ending.
