Dr. Shrinker is an evil scientist on a tropical island. When three teenagers are stranded on the island after a plane crash, he captures them and, with his Shrinking Ray, reduces them to doll-size. The show originally aired as a segment during the first season of the ABC network's The Krofft Supershow in 1976.

This pilot for the TV series stars Pernell Roberts as Jim Conrad, who runs an airport, much to the chagrin of his boss, "his way." In this, two plots run - a kid whose parents are splitting up decides to take off in a little red prop plane (and Conrad talks him down), and thieves played by the handsome Tab Hunter and his truly ugly sidekicks try to steal a money shipment. Roberts was replaced by Lloyd Bridges when the show went to series.

After being kidnapped and escaping, young drummer boy Aaron searches for his camel and finds him in the Nativity of the Baby Jesus. Aaron gives Baby Jesus the only gift he has, a song on his drum.
