Synopsis for Don Drake on the Planet Saro: "The Midget Men, Part 3"
With water pouring in, the Sphere Ship is fished out of the water by what looks like a giant ant. The creature brings the ship, with Don, Betty, and the Midget Men inside, to its nest. The Midget Men advise Don that the ant-creatures are harmless, but their masters, beasts with many arms, are to be feared. Sure enough, Betty sees the giant ants scurrying away, just as one of the tentacled horrors attacks the ship. Don fires his atomic energy gun, but the creature seizes him in its tentacle.
