Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Paul Krenner, an ex-major with delusions of grandeur, has forced scientist Peter Ulof to develop a radiation-based technique to turn men invisible, with which process he plans to create an invisible army to sell to the highest bidder. He busts safecracker Joey Faust out of prison and forces him to undergo the invisibility treatment so he can steal more radium to further the experimentation. Plans go awry when Faust discovers there is a side-effect to the invisibility treatments he didn't count on.

[last lines]
State Police officer: Well, Doctor, you and your friends have succeeded in blowing a path to the county. There isn't enough left out there to make ashes. Dr. Peter Ulof: I am deeply sorry, of course. But as I told you before, I didn't do anything by choice. I warned Major Krenner of the danger involved, but you must realize, his was a deranged mind. All he could think of was the creating of an invisible army, and the powers this force would give him. State Police officer: You know, Doctor, this idea of an invisible army is quite interesting. Imagine what our counterintelligence could accomplish if they were able to become invisible whenever necessary. Dr. Peter Ulof: The Central Intelligence Agency has already discussed the possibility with me. But, my friend, think of the danger if the secret were stolen from us. It has happened before, you know. Perhaps it would be better if we... let the secret die with Major Krenner and Joey Faust. It's a serious problem. [solemnly turns to the camera, as to plead to the viewer] Dr. Peter Ulof: What would *you* do? See more » |
