A professor's assistant arranges an accident for his employer in order to sell his invisibility potion to a foreign power. He drives to his buddies to announce the professor's death but they ignore him, and he thinks he must be invisible because he spilled a bit of formula on himself. He rushes back along the bad road to the lab and has a fatal accident. What he doesn't know is that his buddies really don't like him much and were ignoring him on purpose to teach him a lesson in manners and that the professor's formula didn't really work.
