Plot
A would-be
American dictator and mad-scientist, known only as The Phantom
Ruler, has developed a formula which, when sprayed on some solid
object, renders that object and everything it contains invisible
when exposed to rays emitted by a special lamp, also his own
invention. Covered from head to toe in formula-treated cloth, he
thus moves about unseen, presently with the objective of stealing
enough money and formula components to render an entire army of
willing followers invisible. Two henchmen assist him, along with
several illegal aliens smuggled into the US by him and used to
infiltrate, as employees, possible sites for him to later rob while
invisible. When he successfully robs a bank vault, an investigator
from the bank's insuror teams up with a woman police detective to
solve the mystery of the money which to all outside appearances has
just vanished. Tracking clues and interrupting other attempts by the
Phantom Ruler to commit crimes, the protagonists round up enough
evidence that they are not merely dealing with an ordinary crime
ring. Eventually they discover the invisibility fluid and lamp, and
the Phantom Ruler is killed when he trips over an open high-power
electric cable he had laid on the floor of his den to do in the
forces of law and order closing in upon him.
