Description

Collection of six classic sci-fi dramas. In 'The Invisible Man' (1933) Dr. Jack Griffin (Claude Rains) discovers the secret of invisibility but in the process drives himself insane.

Soon he is no longer satisfied with playing pranks on other people and his actions take a murderous turn. In 'The Invisible Man Returns' (1940) Geoffrey Radcliffe (Vincent Price) faces execution after being framed for the murder of his brother. His friend Dr.

Frank Griffin (John Sutton), Jack Griffin's brother, helps Geoffrey to escape by providing him with the invisibility drug. However, as he attempts to uncover the identity of the real killer and clear his name, the police close in on him and the drug begins to have a terrible effect on his sanity. 'The Invisible Woman' (1940) follows Kitty Carroll (Virginia Bruce) who answers an advertisement placed by Professor Gibbs (John Barrymore), an eccentric scientist seeking someone who is willing to become invisible for one of his experiments.

In 'Invisible Agent' (1942) Frank Griffin Jr. (Jon Hall), the grandson of Jack Griffin, uses the invisibility serum on himself so that he can execute a dangerous mission behind enemy lines in Germany during WWII. However, when he gets drunk, his behaviour threatens to expose him and derail the whole mission.

'The Invisible Man's Revenge' (1944) sees scientist Dr. Peter Drury (John Carradine) test his invisibility formula on escaped criminal Robert Griffin (Hall). The experiment is a success but Griffin decides to use his newfound invisibility to exact revenge against the Herrick family who betrayed him years before.

Finally, in 'Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man' (1951), private detectives Bud (Bud Abbott) and Lou (Lou Costello) take their first case and must help boxer Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz) who is accused of murdering his manager. When the police attempt to arrest Tommy, he eludes them by injecting himself with an invisibility serum created by his fiancée Helen (Nancy Guild)'s uncle. Tommy persuades Lou to find the real killer by going undercover as a boxer and is forced to help him out when he has to prove himself in the ring.
