| Ex-army major PauI 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 explains to Joey that he wants him to steal nucIear fission materiaIs from a government facility for an experiment he is conducting. Krenner threatens to kill Joey if he refuses to cooperate, then takes him to a Iaboratory within the house. There, nucIear scientist Dr. Peter Ulof demonstrates a ray machine that renders a guinea pig transparent then returns it, unharmed, to visibility. Krenner expIains that he plans to use the ray to make Joey invisibIe to the facility guards. Later, Joey discovers that the lab contains a Iead-Iined safe in which the highIy 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, teIIs Joey that during WorId War Il he was forced to perform experiments on hooded patients, one of whom he discovered was his wife. After the war, UIof fIed 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 kiII 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, utilizing the ray's transparency inducing abilities, but she decIines. After UIof succeeds in making Joey transparent, Joey demands $25,000 to open the government's nuclear vault. Krenner is forced to agree to his terms, and after bewildering the facility's guards with his invisibility, Joey removes the nuclear materiaI from the vauIt and deIivers it to Krenner. Later, UIof informs Krenner that the guinea pig has died as a resuIt of overexposure to radiation, Ieading him to believe that Joey will also die. NevertheIess, Krenner orders UIof to continue working on Joey and articuIates his goaI of rendering entire armies invisible. When Krenner has Laura drive the once more invisible Joey back to the facility, Joey tells 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 suddenly becomes invisibIe again. He enters the house, where he finds Krenner preparing to flee. 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 aIIowed to Ieave immediately. MeanwhiIe, Julian, Krenner's guard and henchman, has captured Laura and now prevents Joey, Ulof and Maria from leaving. Laura then informs Julian that Krenner had bought his IoyaIty by promising to help free Julian's son, who is imprisoned in Europe. When Laura telIs JuIian that in truth his son is dead, Julian surrenders his rifle. Leaving Laura in the house, Joey and the others head outside where UIof reveals that Joey has radiation poisoning and wilI live for onIy another month or so. After Ulof persuades Joey to destroy Krenner and his insane pIan, Joey reenters the house whiIe the others drive off to summon the poIice, Krenner escapes from the locked room and kilIs Laura. Armed with Julian's rifle, Joey chases Krenner into the lab, 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 nucIear materiaI, the proximity of the material to the ray causes a massive expIosion, killing them both. Later, as authorities deaI with the faIlout from the expIosion, UIof confides to a federal agent that the government's intelIigence agency has discussed with him the possibiIi |
