The Amazing Transparent Man

Bank robber Joey Faust is subjected to atomic rays by a gangster and a mad scientist, rendering him invisible and capable of plundering the world's most guarded vaults. The ring of criminals embark on an unstoppable crime wave, gathering resources towards their ultimate goal - the creation of an invisible army to conquer the world. As the shadowy thief begins to suffer the poisonous side effects of the radiation, a beautiful woman forces Faust to re-think the horrific plan. Unable to turn to the law for help, the invisible safecracker becomes the final unlikely obstacle between the power-hungry madmen and world domination.

Auteur Edgar G. Ulmer directed The Amazing Transparent Man back-to-back with another science fiction drive-in classic, Beyond the Time Barrier, filming both on location in Texas.
