This 1965 Bert I. Gordon picture has young "Genius" ([[The Andy Griffith Show|Ron Howard]]) tinkering with substances in his lab, creating a "goo' that causes whatever ingests it to grow to tremendous size. Unfortunately, some ne'er-do-wells blow in from out of town, and steal the goo and eat it, becoming the eponymous Giants. Now it's up to several teens as well as Genius to [[Set Right What Once Was Wrong|set right what went wrong]].
