Based on the fear of atomic energy, this goofy best forgotten sci-fi flick is about an escaped convict who is turned invisible ("transparent" in the dialogue) by a shifty businessman and his lackey scientist to steal scientific parts. He also goes after robbing banks. It's not a great movie, but it's not a bad one. The characters are kind of one-dimensional, and the acting is silly. It's not up to par on the other Atomic Age sci-fi flicks like "Them" and "Tarantula," but there's a few twists and turns as the convict decides to help the scientist whose daughter is being held captive to force his hand. The sub-plot is more interesting than the main plot, but overall, it's not terribly bad. It's just below mediocre.
