Dr. Peter Brady (Tim Turner) is a brilliant English scientist who, working with the principles that govern the reflection of light, has developed a theory that every form of matter can be reduced to invisibility, just as a jellyfish becomes invisible in water. During an accident in the laboratory, Brady himself becomes invisible, but his experiments have not yet gone far enough for him to reverse the process and regain visibility! Taken to the hospital as a high security risk, Brady is kept under surveillance, but his invisibility makes it easy for him to escape. Meanwhile, a fellow scientist, Dr, Compton, attempts to steal Brady's technical notes. In trying to outwit his dishonest colleague, Brady realises the true value of his discovery.
