Synopsis
The radiation from atomic bomb tests mutates a common ant, increasing his size and strength a thousand fold, and grants him human-level intellect. Calling himself Grottu, he declares himself king of all insects, and sets about on a plan to conquer the world, starting with Kenya. His efforts are foiled by an adventurer, who succeeds in turning Grotto's ant followers against him, leaving him for dead.
