"You know there have been times since we crashed here that if I never saw any of you again it'd be too soon. Now with the Spaceship gone ... well, there was always some hope before..."
The little people come upon a family of fishing giants and their deaf son. Several of them become trapped in a giant shell and brought into the giant's house where they are tipped out onto a table to be found by the boy's parents who desperately need the reward money due for the discovery of little people...
While Valerie and Betty are at the waterfront looking for shrimp, Steve finds them and they hide in a conch shell from a deaf boy named Dal, but he eventually finds them. His parents, facing financial problems, decide to turn the Earthlings in for the reward, and with the boy's keen eye they follow the Mr. Fitzugh's footprints back to the Spindrift and capture the ship as well. Mark learns that the giants' hearing aids don't work for the boy, but by using the Earthlings' more advanced technology, Mark creates one that does work, and tries to convince the parents that they could sell the technology to make money instead of turning the little people over to the police.
