Both of Richie's parents believe they have seen dolls walking away with currency. Richie and Irona do find some dolls around the estate but don't see any of them move To get to the bottom of the mystery, Richie asks Professor Keenbean to shrink him and Irona down to the size of dolls. The trip back home in tiny size is an adventure in itself, but when they arrive, they do see some dolls carrying away money. They decide to pick up some dollar bills themselves and follow the dolls to see where they are going.

Richie Rich; Irona; crooked doll-maker; unnamed police officer; Professor Keenbean
Richie and Irona, shrunken to doll size, follow cash-stealing dolls to a cave on the estate. There the dolls place the money in a large pile. As they are watching, Richie and Irona are grabbed by the crooked doll-maker who is using the dolls to steal. They try to escape, but the doll-maker sends soldier dolls to capture them. Irona gets caught in a net, but Richie manages to use the Professor's enlarging ray to return to normal size. He is then able to dispatch the toy soldiers, free Irona and enlarge her. The toys themselves then turn on the doll-maker, with some help from the enlarging ray.

The professor demonstrates his Super Lift Air, which can make heavy objects float. Bascomb mistakenly uses this air for the tires in a limousine, which causes the car to float across the Rich estate grounds. Remembering a butterfly collector he has seen earlier in the story, Richie has an idea to get the floating car back down.

Swami Steranko is very likely a reference to comics legend Jim Steranko, who did some of his very first comic work at Harvey and whose popularity was in full swing when this story first appeared in Richie Rich Money World #2 in 1972. The illustration that accompanies this story is based upon the cover of that original issue.
