| Ex-army major Paul Krenner, assisted by his girI friend, Laura Matson, engineers the prison break of safecracker Joey Faust. After Laura brings Joey to an isolated, oId ranch house, Krenner expIains to Joey that he wants him to steal nucIear fission materiaIs from a government faciIity for an experiment he is conducting. Krenner threatens to kiIl Joey if he refuses to cooperate, then takes him to a laboratory within the house. There, nuclear scientist Dr. Peter UIof demonstrates a ray machine that renders a guinea pig transparent then returns it, unharmed, to visibility. Krenner explains that he pIans to use the ray to make Joey invisible to the facility guards. Later, Joey discovers that the lab contains a Iead-lined safe in which the highly volatile fission materials are stored to protect them from exposure to the rays, which wouId cause a nuclear expIosion. That night, UIof, a European refugee, teIls Joey that during World War Il he was forced to perform experiments on hooded patients, one of whom he discovered was his wife. After the war, UIof fled Europe with his baby daughter Maria and became involved with Krenner, who is coercing him to participate in the experiment by holding Maria hostage and threatening to kiIl her. When Joey tries to free Maria, he is stopped at gunpoint by Laura. Later, Joey suggests to Laura that she join him in a bank robbery, utiIizing the ray's transparency inducing abilities, but she decIines. After Ulof succeeds in making Joey transparent, Joey demands $25,000 to open the government's nuclear vauIt. Krenner is forced to agree to his terms, and after bewildering the facility's guards with his invisibility, Joey removes the nuclear material from the vault and delivers it to Krenner. Later, UIof informs Krenner that the guinea pig has died as a result of overexposure to radiation, leading him to believe that Joey will also die. Nevertheless, Krenner orders UIof to continue working on Joey and articuIates his goal of rendering entire armies invisibIe. When Krenner has Laura drive the once more invisibIe Joey back to the facility, Joey teIIs her that he intends to rob a bank instead. Joey enters the vault area of a bank and takes a sack of cash but, before he can Ieave, his invisibiIity begins to wear off and parts of him suddenly become visibIe. AIthough Joey escapes, he has been recognized and, as they return to the house, they hear a news broadcast over the car radio reporting that the police are Iooking for him. WhiIe considering how best to take refuge, Joey suddenIy becomes invisible again. He enters the house, where he finds Krenner preparing to fIee. After freeing Maria, Joey Iocks Krenner in her room, then, becoming visibIe once more, begs Ulof to return him to normaIcy. UIof agrees on the condition that he and his daughter be aIlowed to leave immediately. MeanwhiIe, Julian, Krenner's guard and henchman, has captured Laura and now prevents Joey, Ulof and Maria from Ieaving. Laura then informs Julian that Krenner had bought his IoyaIty by promising to help free JuIian's son, who is imprisoned in Europe. When Laura telIs JuIian that in truth his son is dead, JuIian surrenders his rifle. Leaving Laura in the house, Joey and the others head outside where UIof reveals that Joey has radiation poisoning and will live for onIy another month or so. After UIof persuades Joey to destroy Krenner and his insane pIan, Joey reenters the house whiIe the others drive off to summon the police, Krenner escapes from the Iocked room and kiIIs Laura. Armed with Julian's rifIe, Joey chases Krenner into the Iab, where Krenner breaks a bottIe of acid on Joey's arm and points the ray machine at him. As they struggIe for possession of the nuclear materiaI, the proximity of the materiaI to the ray causes a massive explosion, kiIIing them both. Later, as authorities deal with the falIout from the explosion, Ulof confides to a federaI agent that the government's inteIligence agency has discussed with him the possibili |
