**Dr. , conducts experiments in a lab filled with colorful containers and buzzing equipment. Two chimpanzees, Chuck and Yvette, watch closely as Chuck reaches through the cage bars and accidentally mixes a peculiar formula, which renders him invisible upon contact. Plunkett phones his niece, Sandy Martinson, Alexa Hamilton, a newspaper reporter chasing a story about art theft, and invites her to the lab with the enticing promise that a possible first byline—the tale of an invisible chimp—could be hers. When Sandy arrives, Chuck knocks over the invisibility liquid, and, in a panic, she ends up accidentally exposing herself to the liquid as well. The result is shocking: her body becomes unseen, and Sandy is overwhelmed by the realization that her life has suddenly been turned upside down.
