Lemuel Gulliver (Black) is the head of the mail room for a New York magazine. He has a crush on the travel editor (Peet) but doesn’t have the courage to ask her out. Instead, he pretends to be interested in a scheme for new writers, takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the island of Lilliput where he towers over its tiny citizens. There he becomes a favourite of the royal court, but his huge size causes as many problems as it solves.
