A convict named Joey Faust is broken out of jail by a rich madman to pull off some very tricky heists. Douglas Kennedy is Faust and James Griffith is Paul Krenner the man who broke him out of jail.
It seems Krenner is wanting to make Faust invisible in order to steal radium to continue his experiments and to create an invisible army. Faust soon has second thoughts. He helps another scientist get his daughter out of the hands of Krenner and brings about an end to everything after he finds out the side effects to being turned invisible that he didn't count on.
Marguerite Chapman is Laura and she starts to fall for Faust. Ivan Triesault is the scientist whom Krenner keeps around to do his bidding. Not a bad little programmer from Ulmer, who was a master at working with very little money. I was first introduced to this film via a late night viewing on WTCG in Atlanta before it became WTBS. It's only 58 minutes long and the story moves at a very brisk pace.
This is on the new disc set called Movies 4 You: More Sci-Fi Classics which also includes "Reptilicus", "The Neanderthal man" and "Brain That Wouldn't Die".
