Entertaining yarn about a scientist who discovers a drug that makes him invisible, but also makes him mad with power. He has fun tormenting the local villagers, until he murders one of them. He has delusions of taking over the world and kidnaps a fellow scientist to help him. In true HG Wells fashion, radio broadcasts and newspaper headlines send the general public into mass panic. The police eventually corner him in a barn where he is sleeping then his footsteps in the snow give him away while trying to escape.
