After an experiment on himself leaves him invisible, scientist Jack Griffin holes up in a snowy English village, swathed in bandages and dark glasses while he searches for a way to reverse it. Claude Rains is Griffin, a brilliant researcher whose secrecy and mounting aggression unsettle everyone around him, while Gloria Stuart’s Flora watches the man she knows slip further from reach.
