The Human Vapor 1960

A librarian volunteers for a scientific experiment that backfires, turning him into a vaporous being able to phase through walls. Using this power, he robs banks to bankroll his girlfriend’s dancing career, while eliminating anyone—particularly police—who interferes. Soon he becomes Tokyo’s most wanted criminal, leaving authorities scrambling to stop his deadly spree.
