Buy your evening
paper here.

De Haven mystery trial
opens today.

Read all about it.

Raise your right hand.

Do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing
but the truth so help you God?

I do.

Your name is
George Worthington Appleby?

- Yes.
- Now just a moment.

One of
the previous witnesses

referred to you
as "Doc Appleby."

Are you a practicing physician?
- Oh, no, Your Honor.

That - -
that's just a nickname.

I'm a medical student
at Granger University.

- Continue.
- Tell the court

in your own
words what happened

on the night
of October 16.

Well, uh, that was the night
before the day

set for the wedding of my
friend, Peter De Haven III.

Uh, we gave him
a bachelor dinner.

[ Luau music plays ]

[ Laughter,
indistinct conversations ]

Take a good,
long look, Pete.

It's the last one
you're going to get.

Tomorrow is the deadline.
- Don't be silly.

I'm only getting married,
not embalmed.

Come on, drink up.
- No thanks.

I've had plenty.

All right.
Then have a cigar.

What's the matter
with it?

- Nothing the matter with it.
- Can you imagine that?

- Don't you trust me, Doc?
- Why should I?

Here, I'll even
light it for you.

[ Bang ]

[ Laughter ]
- Of all the silly tricks!

Can't take it, huh?

I can't?
Can you take it?

Why don't you try me
and find out?

I will
the first chance I get.

Don't let it throw you, Doc.
It's all in fun.

Pete, old boy,
tomorrow morning at 10:00,

they're going to hang the ball
and chain on you. You're doomed.

Anyway, I'd like
to congratulate you.

Well, thanks,
Jimmy, old pal.

[ Buzzer ]
- Let me go! Hey, hey!

Won't you ever grow up,
even to get married?

[ Clattering ]

This is the dinner party
for Peter De Haven, isn't it?

- Yes, it is.
- That's all I wanted to know.

[ Luau music plays ]

So you marry my girl
tomorrow morning, huh?

That's right, Robert.
Have a cigar.

Thanks. Here's a little wedding
present for you.

Hey!

Get him!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

I'll get you
for this, De Haven.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Quiet!

Pay no attention
to that little outburst, fellas.

Give them a downbeat, boys.
Come on, let's drink up.

I think we should have
let him hit you.

Oh, no. You wouldn't want to
send him to his wedding

all full of dents,
would you?

That's the stuff, Jimmy.
You're my pal.

Oh, no.

Honey, can you shake
a couple of sixes?

[ Laughter ]

I see.
What happened then?

Well, you know
how bachelor dinners are.

We continued well past midnight,
and then we started breaking up.

I see.

[ All slurring ]
- What a night.

Come on, Pete.
Come on.

- Drink up.
- Come on, Petey.

Come on, give old Pete
a drink. Come on.

Ah, it's no use, fellas.
He's out like a light.

You know,
it's a funny thing.

I've never known Peter
to pass out in my whole life.

- What will we do with him?
- Ah, we leave him here.

Oh, no, no, no, wait.
I got a better idea than that.

For 10 years, I've been waiting
for a chance like this.

He's been ribbing us.
Now let's see if he can take it.

What do you mean?

We'll bring him over
to the college

and put him
into the dissecting room.

That's a wonderful idea.

No, no, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait.

We could be thrown
right out of school for that.

I've got a key
to the side entrance.

We'll sneak him in
and lay him out on a slab.

Doc, that's
sheer genius.

He'll wake up in the middle
of the night,

and it will scare the living
daylights out of him, I hope.

- Go on, Pete.
- Come on, Pete.

Shh! Professor Shotesbury is
still working in the lab.

Why did we have to come
around this way for?

Because we can't drive up
to Medical College, stupid.

- Professor.
- Huh?

Oh, hello, William.

What's the matter?

I've come to bury Charlie.

Charlie?

Look at him.

- He's alive!
- Very much alive.

He was dead.

[ Chuckles ]

You was dead, baby.
I saw you dead.

Pappy's little baby is back
from the grave.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it
with my own eyes.

Professor, Professor,
how come he's no longer dead?

Because, William,
I've done it.

I've brought the dead
back to life.

- Like that?
- Like that, William.

Life,
eternal life at last.

I have made the most tremendous
discovery in history.

And I'm going to let you
in on it.

What do you mean, you're going
to let me in on it?

You are going to be
my first example.

Oh, let me out.

William, wait a minute.

Professor, I ain't got
nothing to wait for.

Besides, you can't give me
that experiment

because I ain't dead.

That's a very simple matter,
very simple.

See?
See those pills?

Any one of them
can produce instant death,

and then I bring you
back again to life.

No dice.

You don't seem to realize
that you're about

to have a great honor
bestowed upon you.

You will be the first
human being ever

to be brought
back again to life.

Why can't I be second?

You'll go down in medical
history, William.

You'll be the hero
of the campus.

You mean the corpse
of the campus.

The corpse of the - -
Eh, don't be silly.

Look at Charlie, okay?
Now look at him.

Does he seem any the worse
for his experience?

Look, Professor, if you
going to start

messing around
with dead folks,

why don't you get yourself
a boy that is dead?

Just wanted to do you a favor.
That's all.

We've been together
for so long, and - -

Aha.

Aha!

Aha?

You've given me an idea,
a great idea, William.

We have got to get ourselves
a dead body.

I'll kill him
when he comes in.

No.
You come with me.

Where are you going?

Come with me...

...across the campus
to the dissecting room.

- Dissecting room?
- Dissecting room.

Oh, you mean
the college morgue!

Shh! Do you want people
to hear?

This is a great secret,
my secret, your secret.

Professor, it's all yours.
Don't make me no partner.

You the president.

Psst!

What are you doing?

I don't know.

Well, stop it.

This time of night.

Professor, I hate to bring
this up this late at night.

What's the matter?

Can I go home
to my house?

- What for?
- Get a glass of milk.

No.

O- Oh. Why couldn't I have
been drafted?

Don't argue with me.
We have work to do.

Yes.

Willie, look.
Are we in luck!

You mean you in luck.

Professor, you know they'll put
us in the jailhouse for this.

All right.
It's all right.

Now don't forget,
I'm in back of you.

You may in back of me,
but look what's in front of me.

Shh! Go ahead, now.
Go ahead, go ahead.

Professor, have you
changed your mind?

No, my mind is made up.

Uh- oh.

This here one's
got a lily in his hand.

He may be dead,
but he's neat about it.

Now, Willie, put him on that
slab and wheel him over here.

I don't want to be no chaperon
to a corpse.

Quiet, Willie,
and be quick.

I may be quiet,
but I can't be quick.

- Ah!
- Ah!

- [ Gasping ]
- What's the matter?

He's still warm.

Fine, just what we need.

Bring him out.
Bring him out.

Yes, I'll do it,
but I ain't happy about it.

Hurry, hurry now.

Quiet, quiet!

That's the boy.
Bring him along now.

Come on. Put his feet on.
Put his feet on.

Yes.

Ah!

Oh!
[ Clattering ]

Willie,
stop your dillydallying.

Professor, what make you think
I'm dallydillying?

Well, but what keeps you
so long?

It's a simple operation.
Here.

Bring him over here.
Bring him over.

Lift him up now.
Lift him up.

Come on, up here.

Phew!

They must have embalmed him
in Scotch and soda.

Nothing of the kind.
He hasn't been embalmed at all.

Just had a few drinks,
that's all.

A few?
He's so saturated,

if a breeze hit him,
he'd ripple.

Quiet!
Lift him up.

[ Grunting ]

William,
stop that grunting.

This gentlemen surely
a heap of dead weight.

Of course,
what would you expect?

[ Groans ]

Shh! Quiet!

It's my daughter.
Hide him. Hide him.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to find a place
to hide him.

Behind the curtain.

- That's what I thought.
- Shh!

Thanks for
a lovely evening.

Good night.
Haven't you
forgotten something?

Forgotten something?

Do you mind if I ask you
for a kiss?

Kiss? No, I've been dying to
turn you down all evening.

Okay, but that means your name
comes out of my little red book.

You're breaking my heart.
Good night.

Dad, were you going out?
- Why?

Oh, it's Willie.
Willie is here.

I'm here, but I ought
to be home.

Eh, Willie, now,
if you grandmother is sick,

I would recommend the
old- fashioned stick of licorice.

- When did she get sick?
- The unsweetened...

Who?
- Grandma.

Oh, what's
the matter with her?

Oh, you didn't know?
He didn't know.

Well, if your grandmother
is sick,

Willie,
licorice is wonderful.

Now, it's way past your bedtime
and yours, too.

Good night.
- Uh, good night, darling.

Don't you worry
about anything, Willie.

Everything is going to be
all right.

So you just run on home
and don't worry about anything.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Uh! Oh!

[ Thud ]

Dad!
What was that?

What was what, darling?
Uh, that boom?

Like that?
It wasn't anything.

Well, that's what it was,
darling.

It was my foot.
It's all asleep.

The rest of you should be, too.
Now, it's late.

Now, you go on home,
and you go to bed.

Good night.
- Good night, darling.

Quick,
to the laboratory.

Yes, sir.

Willie, come in here.

Help me.
- Yes.

There, there, there.
What is the matter with you?

Are you an idiot?
Come in here and help me.

[ Eerie music plays ]

Stop that.

Ah! I've done it.
He's alive.

He's alive, breathing.
I've done it.

I've done it.
Willie.

[ Strangled scream ]

What are you doing?

I'm screaming.

Well, stop that noise.

Ohh.

I never saw little men
that big before.

Reactions, marvelous.
What time is it?

What time is it?
Get my watch.

Help, help, help.
Help get him up.

Get him up.
Get him up.

Come on, that's it.

Easy, easy.

Ah!

What - - what happened?
Where am I?

Who are you?
- Steady now, steady.

This will come in the nature
of a shock,

but you must try and cope
with the greatness of it all.

All right. Let's have it.
What have I done now?

Oh, it's not what you've done,
my boy. It's what I've done.

Look, I don't know what
this is, but I wish - -

Say, who are you?
- I?

I'm Professor
Reginald X. Shotesbury,

and tonight I've accomplished
something that science

has always claimed
was impossible.

Oh, it's no dream.
No dream, it's a reality.

I have brought you back to life,
back from the dead.

Dead?
Me, dead? You're crazy!

Well, if you wasn't dead,
what are you doing on the slab

in the morgue?
- I was in the morgue?

- In the morgue.
- With a lily.

- Have you got a drink?
- Yes, yes, of course.

Willie, quick, quick,
get Mr...

Mr...What is your name?

- Never mind.
- Never mind.

- Never mind.
- A brandy.

- Brandy.
- Brandy.

- Anything, anything.
- We ain't got that.

- What?
- Anything.

Brandy, brandy.

The last thing
I remember,

I was attending
my bachelor dinner.

Must have been
something you ate.

Ate.

[ Both gasp ]

Something happened
you didn't figure on.

Professor,
he's evaporating.

Living, breathing,
solid and invisible.

What are you talking about,
invisible?

Reactions, record this.
Record this.

It didn't happen to Charlie.
Or did it?

It didn't.
[ Charlie chatters ]

He's there all right,
but he ain't.

Just like him.

[ Charlie chatters ]
Oh!

Think you can bring him
back again, Professor?

William, think of it - -
invisible men,

thousands of them invading
enemy territory,

and no army in the world
can combat them.

But I've got to bring him
back to visibility.

I've got to find
the antidote.

Your auntie
can't help you now.

Professor, you better quick
messing around with dead folks.

I tell you, I'm not dead,

and don't ask me again
what I was doing in the morgue.

No, sir.
No, you ain't dead,

but your clothes...

Daddy, do you realize
it's getting late?

Ohh.

Oh.

Daddy, what is it?!

The result of an experiment,
darling,

that went a little bit
beyond my expectations.

Oh, my head.

Isn't there someplace
I can lie down?

I am so sorry,
of course.

William,
prepare the guest room.

Yes, sir.

You'll excuse me,
won't you. Oh.

Daddy, what are you up to?
What does this mean?

It means, my darling,
I've done it at last.

I've brought a dead man
back to life.

- Dead man!
- Back to life.

- Back to life?
- Back to life.

You're getting worse
and worse every day.

Are you going mad?
- Mad?

It walked, didn't it?
It breathed, didn't it?

Now if I can just bring the
pigmentation back to its skin,

I can prove to them
all that my theory is correct.

Where did
you get that body?

Less than an hour ago in the
dissecting room in the morgue.

- You stole it!
- I stole it?

Nothing of the kind.
I took it.

Why shouldn't I?

Father, you're going to
disgrace us all.

Now, you come right with me
and tell Willie

to take that body
right back to the morgue.

- Take it back?
- Yes.

- In the middle of the night?
- Of course.

It will catch
its death of cold.

Oh, I'll tell him myself.
Willie!

- Take it back.
- Willie.

Willie, you take that body
right back to the morgue.

Yes.

The morgue?
- Yes, the morgue.

Oh, the morgue
is closed now.

Miss Joan,
where is the ice bag?

Yes, it's upstairs in the - -
What do you want an ice bag for?

The zombie has got a headache,
and so have I.

Oh, my head.

What head?

Get out of here
and let me sleep this off.

You better sleep some on.

[ Groans ]

Oh, my head feels as big
as a house.

Yeah, an empty house.

[ Woman wails ]

Man: Mrs. Lunceford!

Barrett, Barrett,
some smelling salts.

Mother, mother,
what on Earth is the matter?

Peter has run away.
You've been gypped, jilted.

What? But he was at
the dinner party last night.

- You were there.
- Yes, yes, I was.

Well, what happened?

Nothing out
of the ordinary,

except that a guy broke in and
tried to poke Peter in the nose.

He seemed to be
a friend of yours.

Oh, well, what happened
after the party?

We all said good night,
and we all went home.

What are we
going to do now?

Well, I think I'd better
go down to the college

and talk to Doc Appleby.

All right.

And in the meantime,
I'll have Uncle John tell

all the guests that the marriage
has been temporarily postponed.

Hey, you can't
go in there.

That's only for dead people
and students.

I'm looking for George Appleby.
Do you know him?

Oh, the one they call Doc?
He's in there.

Thanks,
I got to talk to him.

Jimmie, why aren't you
at the wedding?

I was just getting ready
to leave myself.

Doc, I've got something
important to tell you alone.

Okay.

What's on your mind?
- De Haven has disappeared.

What do you mean
he's disappeared?

Nobody has heard from him
since we left him.

Doc, Pete couldn't have been
cut up by mistake, could he?

Ah, don't be a sap.

Oh, Appleby, this is
Inspector Deming

of the Missing
Persons Bureau.

- Oh, how do you do?
- Glad to know you, Appleby.

Sorry to disturb you,
but you know

Peter De Haven
has disappeared?

Yes.

They tell me that he left
the bachelor dinner party

last night with you,
Terrence Abbott,

and a fellow named
James Barbour.

Well, this is Barbour.

Well,
I'm glad you're here.

I'm sort of killing two birds
with one visit.

Tell me, just what
can I do, exactly?

I've called an investigation
in my office.

I guess the others
are there now,

so we might
as well go along.

We can discuss
the matter there.

Sure, sure, but I doubt

if we can throw
any light on the thing.

No, I don't think we could
throw much light on it.

Oh, we'll see.

I'll be with you as soon
as I change my clothes.

Well?

We're coming.

Now this fellow who crashed
your party,

have you any idea who he was?
- No, I don't know.

But Miss Lunceford might
be able to give you a hint.

Yes. He referred to
Miss Lunceford

as, "my girl," didn't he?

You don't think he
could have injured De Haven

during the melee, do you?
- Oh, no, no, no.

He didn't even
get near Peter.

Besides, Peter had
passed out by that time.

Well, do you suppose he could
have laid for him

after he left the rest of you,
caught up with him later?

- There's always...
- That's what happened.

That's probably
what happened, sure.

All right.
All right.

Now you don't know anyone else
who could have wished

any harm to Mr. De Haven?
- No.

Peter was independently wealthy,
an amateur golf champion.

He liked everybody,
and everybody liked him.

What about another woman
in the case?

Peter doesn't have much
to do with women.

As a matter of fact,
it was quite a surprise to us

when he announced his engagement
to Miss Lunceford.

Well, gentlemen, you seem
to throw

a bewildering lack of light
on the situation.

I guess that's all.
- Thank you, sir.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, sorry we haven't been
more helpful, Inspector.

Do you mind?

Not at all.

[ Bang ]

[ Snores loudly ]

Miss Shotesbury, when exactly
did your next meeting

with the alleged
invisible man occur?

The following morning.

My father and I were having
breakfast,

and we were trying
carefully to determine...

Dad, you know, this body
is going to be missed.

Well, my darling, it hasn't
been missed yet, has it?

And I'm pretty sure
that if it had been,

I'd be the first one
to be informed.

Where did it come from?

Well, that's the mystery.
I have no idea.

One thing is certain, the death
must have been pretty recent

because the body
was still warm.

It makes me shudder
to think about it.

Suppose something happened
to it during the night.

Dad, suppose
something happened - -

Daddy, not on the doily.

Oh.

Not on the napkin either.

It's getting so I can't eat
my breakfast in peace

in this house at all.
What'd you ask me?

I said, "Suppose
something happened

to it during the night?"
- Well, what could happen?

Well,
suppose it died again.

Well, that's very simple.

All Willie has to do is to wait
for it to get dark

and then carry the body
back to the morgue.

Professor, it ain't fair, taking
corpses out on approval.

- How is he?
- Stiff as a board.

- Stiff?
- Dad, it's dead again.

If he's dead, he's
the snoringest dead
man I ever heard.

- Snoring? Snoring?
- Yes.

Pretty late sleeper.

Professor, I hate to keep
asking you this,

but I'd like to have
a few days off.

What for?

I'd like to relax.

Have you ever heard
anything so ridiculous?

Relax? What for?
Look at me. Am I relaxed?

That's the trouble.

You get the morning paper
and bring it in here.

Morning after morning, I have
to tell you the same thing.

Why don't you look into things
like that?

There should be water.

You drank yours, Daddy.

[ Coughing ]

Peter:
Oh, my head, my head.

Oh, what a night.

Ooh, why did I do it?

Ohh.

What time is it?

Holy smoke, I'll be late
for my own wedding.

Whoa.

What's coming off here?

I've been double- crossed.

Ohh.
Oh, my head, my head.

Peter: Listen, you!

You got me into this,
and now you get me out.

Stop that!
Take your hands off me!

Stop it!
Take your hands off me!

Stop it!
Well, okay, then.

Well, I'm going to do
the very best I can,

but you've got to
be patient.

By the way, what's happened
to your clothes?

They were distinctly visible
last night.

I took them off.

I figured I'm less alarming
this way

than with my clothes
running around town.

Professor, I'm supposed to be
getting married right now,

and I'm in no shape
for a wedding this way.

You're going
to get married?

Yes, to
Christine Lunceford.

Then - -
Then you're Peter De Haven.

- The Third.
- Dad, that's Peter De Haven III.

- The Third?
- The fellow that won The Open

at Green Meadows
last year?

The one that everybody said
was so handsome.

Never mind all that.

I'm supposed to be getting
married this very minute.

Professor, there must
be something you can do.

Plenty I can do. I've done
pretty well so far, haven't I?

Don't forget that you were dead.
- I was not dead.

Then what were you doing on
the slab in the dissecting room?

I was on a slab
in the dissecting room?

With a lily.

That sounds
like Doc Appleby.

So that was
his brilliant idea.

Wait until I get
my hands on him.

- What hands?
- Quiet, please.

Now, young man,
you must remember

that this whole experiment is
still in its embryonic state.

I must forbid you to leave
this house

until I've found some means of
bringing you back to visibility.

Peter: But I've got to
see Christine

to find out how she is.
- Will you please stay

in one place for just
a moment, please?

Christine?
Who's Christine?

Christine Lunceford,
the bride.

The bride.
Don't tell me.

I know who she is, yes.
The bride, eh?

Well, in that case,
I might consider...

So William.

William?

I want you to take
Mr. De Haven here.

Take him any place
he wishes to go.

Wait with him until
he's ready to return,

and then see that
he comes back to this house.

I will
if I can find him.

Peter:
Well, goodbye, Miss, uh...

- Oh, Shotesbury is the name.
- ...Shotesbury.

I hope I'll be
seeing you soon.

Thanks.
Now don't relax, Professor.

- Uh, this way, please.
- Here I am.

Dad, don't you think he ought
to take some clothes with him?

- Why?
- Well, in case...

William.

In my room, you'll find
a little overnight bag.

I want you to pack it
with that suit

of Mr. De Haven's
and then take it with you.

You said it.

[ Horn honks ]

William, stop that noise.

Do you want everybody
to hear you?

Mr. De Haven.
- Peter: Yes?

Oh, Mr. De Haven, I really feel
that the less we have to say

about this little experiment
of ours, the better.

- Much better.
- Yes.

William.
William, come here.

I can only regret
the inconvenience

that this has caused you,
and,

while you're visiting
at the home of your fiancée,

I am going to concentrate
on some antidotes,

and I am positive - -
- You're going to find one.

Yes.
What's the matter?

Oh, you take this bag
of Mr. De Haven's to the car.

You follow after him
very quietly.

Don't let anybody
see him.

I mean, drive carefully.

Peter: I'm cold.

Yes, if it gets
any colder,

you can't even put
your hand in your pocket.

I guess you're in, all right.
- Right you are.

Now, for heaven's sake,
let's get going.

Yes, sir.

Hmm, a ventriloquist.

Where to, boss?

1073 Fifth Avenue.

I sure hope you don't start
being re- visible

on Fifth Avenue.

And don't blow out.

He must have the dummy
in the suitcase.

Better make
a quick run for it.

Don't want somebody to see
that floating suitcase.

Right.
I'll duck in through here.

You wait and keep
the motor running

in case we have to make
a quick getaway.

Yessir.

Hey! Hey, come on back here
with that elevator.

[ Door buzzer sounds ]

[ Door buzzer sounds ]

- Good afternoon, Barrett.
- Oh, Mr. Struck.

- What is it?
- Pardon me, sir,

but did you ring
the bell a little while ago?

Why, no. Look, Barrett, I've got
to see Miss Christine.

I'm sorry, sir, but the doctor
has given her a sedative.

- She's resting.
- You tell her that I'm here.

I think she'll see me.

Peter: Christine.

Christine, don't be
alarmed here.

Aaaah!

Aaaaah!

Aaah! Robert!

Christine, darling.

What is it?

Peter's voice.
I heard it.

Peter's voice?

Well, now, look, honey,
you just imagined that.

She'll be all right, Barrett.
- Very good, sir.

Now, sweetheart, you've got
to pull yourself together.

Nothing has happened
to the bridegroom.

Then where is he?

Well, in the condition
I saw him in,

he's liable
to be anyplace.

Darling, this is just
one small example

of married life
with a guy like that.

Oh, please, darling, don't make
it any more difficult for me.

We went all through
this last night.

You know our finances.

It took everything mother had
left to manage my trousseau.

Peter:
Well, now your good investment

isn't going to pay off
in dividends, huh?

[ Knock on door ]

- Yes?
- Miss Christine?

Inspector Deming would like
to speak with you.

He's looking for me.
I've been dodging him all day.

Then you were
at the bachelor dinner.

Just a moment, please.

Come on,
he mustn't find you here.

Com[ Weakly ]
e in, Inspector.

Miss Lunceford,
this is Inspector Deming.

- How do you do?
- That will be all, Barrett.

Just stay where you are,
Miss Lunceford.

That isn't a very
comfortable chair, Inspector.

Thanks.
It will be very nice.

Very well.

Miss Lunceford, I know what
mental anguish this is to you,

but there are some questions
I have got to ask you.

You may be sure
of my cooperation.

Thank you.

Now, the man who crashed
Peter De Haven's bachelor dinner

last night said
you were his girl.

Who was he?

Why,
I- I have no idea.

Why, that's strange.

James Barbour told me
you knew who the man was.

Jimmie Barbour is a fool!

Really, Inspector,
this is cruel!

I'm awfully sorry,
but you see,

we've linked the disappearance
of your fiancé

with the threats
made to him by this man.

We've got to find him.

Well, then look
someplace else.

I'm sorry, Inspector,
but I can't help you.

Now, just one
more question...

Inspector Deming!

I know this is difficult
to explain, but...

Yes, yes.
I merely came here

to inquire about
Miss Lunceford's health.

Did you expect to find it
in the closet?

You're the man who crashed
De Haven's party last night?

Yes, yes. I'm Robert Struck,
but I can explain.

You'll do your explaining
at headquarters.

You're going to
arrest him?

Just take him in
for questioning now.

I can answer all of
your questions right here.

I haven't seen Peter De Haven,
and I don't know where he is.

And if you take me in,
you're going to be sorry.

My father is a friend
of Judge Sanders.

And Judge Sanders is a friend
of mine. Come on.

Darling, leave!

[ Crash ]

Robert! Robert!

What's this?

Christine: What's
the matter, Robert?

What happened?
- What did happen?

- Are you all right?
- Miss Lunceford,

can you explain what this is
doing in your bedroom?

Of course not. No one
has been here except
Robert and Dr. Harden.

"Peter De Haven,
21 East 58th Street."

Peter's suit.
Robert, what have you done?

I've never seen
those things before.

Oh, yeah?

I tell you, I didn't bring
a suitcase in here.

Just the same, I'm going to
hold you as a material witness.

Come on!
- Oh, now look.

Look, Mr. Deming,
you can't do this to me!

I've heard that before.
Come on.

Oh, Chri - - Christine,
you don't think - -

Ah!

If I'm cut,
I'll sue you.

Okay, Struck, if that's
the way you want it.

Hey! What's the matter
with you?

Let me go!

Oh, come on!
Cut out this playing.

Where's my hat?

Now, come on.
You're going to the station.

Christine: Aaaah!

[ Thud ]

Aaaaah!

Is you in?

- Peter: Yeah.
- Where's your suitcase?

I lost it.

Drive me to my place - -
21 East 58th Street.

I've got to get
some clothes.

Yes, a convoy.

That's all I is, a convoy
to a hunk of thin air.

[ Monkey chattering ]

Steady, Charlie, steady.

Now, stay on my shoulder there.
Stay there, now.

Don't get restless,
just a little while longer.

That's a boy.
Stop it, now.

Stop it!

Here, shake hands.
Shake hands.

That's it, now.
That's it.

Oh!
Don't tickle like that.

Don't tickle,
you little monkey, you.

Stop it. Here, you get up there
where you belong.

Get up there.
Jump now. Go ahead.

Get up.
That's a boy.

Now you stay there.
Anything new, Dad?

I'm expecting great news,
darling.

It all depends upon Charlie,
there.

I expect him to become
distinctly visible

at any moment now.
- Charlie, where?

Right up there,
in his favorite place, darling.

Oh! Careful! You'll fall and
you'll break everything.

Hello, Charlie!

He's probably having trouble
finding his fleas up there.

I don't know. He's been pretty
happy all morning.

On my shoulder, laughing,
scratching.

You know, my darling,
you know,

I think being invisible
has distinct advantages.

Oh, but not
to other people, Pop.

Imagine sitting on an invisible
lap or kissing an invisible man.

Look here.
Look here.

I hope your interest in this
experiment is purely scientific.

My interest in Peter De Haven
has been purely personal

ever since I saw him win
The Open

at Green Meadows last year.
- Personal?

Mm- hmm. You do think
he's handsome, don't you, Dad?

This is the most
outrageous conversation.

Well, is he handsome?

Why, I don't know what the
younger generation is coming to.

- Isn't he handsome?
- Handsome?

Why, what a question.
I hardly know the boy.

What's his name?
- Peter De Haven.

Handsome?
When I saw him,

I thought he looked
pretty stiff to me.

Yes, a little stupid,
sort of blank.

You like him?
- Mm- hmm.

- Uh- huh?
- Mm- hmm.

Uh- huh?
Well, he - - he has nice eyes.

Yes.
He has honest eyes.

His neckties are too loud,
though.

I couldn't wear one of them.
- Daddy!

What are you doing in here
at this time?

This is the most important time
of the day for me.

You find that Willie, and you
tell him that he has to drive me

to the faculty meeting this
afternoon to have my car washed.

It's an outrage,
and don't you use it.

Look! The moment
I've been waiting for!

Charlie!
- Dad, that's wonderful!

Well, now
what are you doing?

I have to note these changes of
visibility very, very carefully.

You see, my darling,
visibility is simply

the principle
of refraction and pigmentation.

Now, my formula
lowers the refraction.

Charlie!
Don't you go out of the room.

You stay right here, Charlie.
It lowers the refraction.

Charlie!
You ought to know better

than to leave the doors
open in this room!

You ought to know better!

Charlie, here.
Here, Charlie.

[ Chattering ]

He's gone, disappeared,
invisible!

Note it down in the book,
quick, under pigmentation,

to the very second.
Charlie?

Charlie?

You left the front
door open, too.

Charlie?

Charlie, good boy now,
in your cage.

Come on. Come on.

Charlie?
[ Charlie screeches ]

Charlie?

Charlie?
[ Clicks teeth ]

Charlie?

What on earth is the matter
with Professor Shotesbury?

Most undignified!

Charlie, in your cage now,
come, come, come.

Oh, did you lose something,
Professor?

- What's that?
- Have you lost something?

Why?
Oh, of course!

Lost?
Well, out of the cage.

See the canary, it's flown.

- Salt.
- Salt?

Oh, of course, salt,
yes, over the shoulder.

Oh, no, no, no.
On the tail?

- That's it.
- Yes, that's it.

Stupid.

Come, salt.

Come, Charlie, Charlie.

[ Charlie chatters ]
Oh, I know.

I know what
you're waiting for, yes.

He's gone back
into the house.

I wonder
who Charlie can be?

Here, Charlie.
Come on now, look.

Nice, fresh banana, see.

Come on.
Come on, boy.

Good boy.
[ Clicks teeth ]

Come on, Charlie.
Come on.

[ Charlie chatters ]
Come on. That's the boy.

That's a good boy, yes.

You just swing away Charlie,
just swing away.

That's a good boy, that's it.

That's it.

Ah!
Charlie stop that!

Where are you?
Come here.

Bad boy, you are.

Charlie.
Come on now.

Come on.

Charlie, come on, now.

In your cage, in your cage,
come on.

Come on!
[ Clicks teeth ]

[ Charlie chatters ]

Charlie?

Charlie?

Charlie, here.

Come on, Charlie.
Come now, on my shoulder.

Good boy.
Come on, Charlie, here.

Nice banana, come on.
Charlie!

Charlie!
Here, here, good boy, now.

Charlie!

Charlie!

Back in your cage,
you bad boy.

Oh, Professor Moggs.

Well, you certainly
fooled me.

Looking for somebody?

Oh, no, no.
Just, uh, searching.

- For what?
- Well, I don't care.

Oh, what?
Oh, why, uh, mushrooms.

With a banana?

Oh, well that's, uh,
the bait, you see?

Oh! Fishing?

- Who?
- You.

- What for?
- Mushrooms.

Oh, no.
I never eat them.

I think you take an awful chance
with mushrooms in this climate.

Of course,
the canned mushroom,

now there, there you have
something else, you see.

Yeah.
- Don't do that!

Oh, I'm so sorry.
It must catch or something, yes.

I had a wonderful
mushroom souffle.

- Stop it!
- What? Charlie!

Oh, Charlie, here,
on my shoulder.

On my shoulder, quick there.
That's a boy.

Good boy, come on.
Oh, dear,

I've missed him again
and I've got to get him back.

You will excuse me, won't you?
Yes, goodbye, Professor.

You'll excuse me,
won't you?

I'll see you later
in the day...

- Yes, yes.
- ...in the faculty meeting?

- The faculty meeting.
- Remember no mushrooms.

- No, no, no mushrooms.
- No, no, no.

Charlie!
Come on, Charlie, now.

Come on.
Come down.

In your cage,
in your cage now.

Nice banana, see?

What do you make of it?

I've been expecting it.

He always was odd with
his theories and experiments.

It's happened.

Oh, is that so?

I'll teach you,
you little monkey, you.

Come down.
Come on.

Come down.

[ Charlie chatters ]

That's a boy.

In your cage, Charlie,
in your cage.

Oh, that's a good boy.
That's a nice boy.

Now, are you in there, huh?

Yes, well there you stay
for the rest of the day, yes.

Mushrooms.

Now I'm going to report
to the faculty.

First time I ever saw a suitcase
bring home a man.

Peter: Hello.
Well, I'm back.

- I'm glad!
- I'll take your bag, sir.

Peter: Thanks, Willie.
We stopped at my place

and picked up
some clothes and things.

Willie, do you know
what happened today?

Charlie came back.
- He did?

Sure enough.
Tail and all?

- Mm- hmm!
- Who's Charlie?

Oh, that's a monkey my dad
has been experimenting with.

He made it disappear,
and now it's back.

- That's encouraging.
- But only for a few moments,

and then it disappeared again.
- Uh- oh, that did it.

Peter: I'm nothing but
a walking test tube.

Well, now, please don't be
discouraged because

Dad says it looks very hopeful
now that Charlie's back.

Say, that means I'm apt to pop
into sight any minute.

I better get dressed.

Well, yes,
I- I think you'd better.

I- I'm really terribly sorry
about all this.

It could never
have happened to...

That's all right.

It seems to have happened
for the best.

Well, I'll see you
later, huh?

I hope so.

Joan!

Jo- -
Why don't you answer me?

Well, you're looking right
at me, Dad.

Don't talk back, please.
Never talk back to me at all.

Who's that? Who's that, William?
- Yes.

I see, yes.
Did you bring Mr. De Haven back?

Yes. I brung him back
just like I took him.

That's all
I wanted to know.

You get ready now to take me
to the faculty meeting.

Did you wash my car?
No.

Joan, this is
very important.

I want you to tell Mr. - -
uh, Mr...

What is his name?
- De Haven.

Don't tell me,
I know what it is, De Haven.

You tell Mr. De Haven I'm going
to administer the antidote

just as soon as I return
from this meeting...

and that I think
it's essential he remain

in the house
for the entire day.

Suppose he doesn't come back,
what then?

My dear girl,
I am firmly convinced that

unless I administer the antidote
before the night is over,

he will remain invisible
forever.

Why, that would
be terrible!

A catastrophe!

Look here.
Look here, young lady.

Seems to me you're
more interested

in this experiment
than I am.

Well, yes I am interested
in him, Dad.

I think he's marvel- -
a marvelous experiment.

Oh, in all of science.

In other words, the sooner
I return him to the flesh,

the happier you will be.

- Right.
- Marvelous.

And you shouldn't talk so loud.
He's liable to hear us.

- He can't hear anything.
- Peter: I did hear you,

professor, and I wish you
wouldn't interrupt.

- Well, I beg your pardon - -
- Quite all right.

Now, uh,
what are you saying,

Miss Shotesbury,
about the experiment?

Oh, well, uh, oh,
well, scientifically...

oh, well, on page 50...
Wait a minute.

I got it.
It says here that, um...

[ Laughing ]

What are you laughing at?

[ Peter continues
laughing ]

Gentlemen, I suggest that
we vote on the matter as - -

- Gentlemen, gentlemen!
- Moggs, is anything wrong?

I just had the most
terrifying experience.

- What?
- Professor Shotesbury has gone

quite insane!

Moggs, you don't know
what you're saying!

Why, we are here today to
consider Mr. Maurice Ponsonby's

$200,000 request
to Shotesbury's department.

Which should,
by every right,

be coming to my department,
Applied Psychology.

What's the matter
with my department?

Anatomy certainly needs
all the money it can get.

But the money should be
coming to my department.

[ Arguing ]
Gentlemen, if you will only

listen to what
I have to tell you!

Just a moment,
Professor Moggs.

I rather question
your statement.

While I realize that
Dr. Shotesbury

has been working
very hard - -

That's exactly it!

I witnessed a most peculiar
demonstration

this very afternoon - -

Shotesbury running around
in his garden

with an empty cage
in one hand,

and a half- peeled banana
in the other,

calling [ Clicks teeth ]
"Charlie, Charlie, Charlie!"

- Charlie?
- Who or what is Charlie?

I haven't
the slightest idea!

From his actions, I assumed
it was some

wholly imaginary person,
a creation of his brain.

A disordered brain.

Exactly!

In the rude parlance
of the cave stone,

Professor Shotesbury
has blown his topper!

Topper?

Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.

Good morning.
I mean, good evening, everybody.

What is it?

Good afternoon,
everybody, of course.

We were beginning to wonder
what had happened to you.

Oh, really? Well, gentlemen,
I am on the verge

of the most
epoch- making discovery

in the history
of modern science.

- Yes, Dr. Shotesbury?
- I have made a man invisible.

Shotesbury, old man,
I'm afraid you've been

rather overdoing
things of late.

- You don't believe me?
- Now, now, don't get excited.

Why don't you take a nice,
long holiday somewhere?

I'm sure the board can arrange
a leave of absence.

Why, this is
positively insulting,

a leave of absence right in the
middle of all my experiments.

What were you doing
in the garden

chasing something around
with an empty cage and a banana?

I was trying to catch a monkey,
a monkey that was invisible.

I had made him
invisible.

I can make you invisible,
and you and you.

- How?
- Aaah!

I have pills,
pills that produce death

instantaneously,
and then...

- Now, really, Shotesbury.
- You don't believe me?

- No.
- No!

I'll prove it!

Give me a line.
Give me a line.

Give me a line, quickly.
Yes, five- three.

William?

I want you to cover
Charlie's cage

and bring him down
to the college right away.

Uh, Mr. Professor,
don't you think poor Charlie

is having
a tough enough time as it is?

You do as I tell you.

Yes, to the college boardroom
on the first floor, and hurry!

Now, gentlemen, you are going
to be witnesses

to something that
will positively amaze you.

Well, gentlemen,
let us resume our seats.

Ah, here's McAuley
with his tests.

- Yes.
- Now, Moggs,

you'll see for yourself.

Yes, and you will
see, too.

What is this here?
What is this, a new game?

This is certainly not
a game.

I wonder if you would put
the square blocks

in the square holes,

and the round blocks in the
round holes on this board.

It's the most outrageous waste
of time for a board meeting.

What is this, the square
one in the square one?

So.
- Yes.

And the round one
in the round one? So.

I could do this underhanded,
like that. So.

So, and there,
for good measure.

- Perfectly simple.
- Yeah. Simple is the word.

All right, Shotesbury.
Now listen to this.

Two teams
are playing baseball.

The visiting team makes one run
in each inning,

and the home team makes two
runs in each inning.

What is the score
when the game ends?

Nine to 16.

Aha!

They play nine innings,
don't they?

Not at all.
The home team never plays

the last half of the 9th
inning when it's ahead.

Any fool knows that.

I beg your pardon?

Tell me,
Professor Barkley,

have you ever been troubled
with strange dreams?

Have you ever fancied yourself,
for example,

as a wood nymph flitting?

- Flitting?
- Yes.

Why, yes!

[ Laughs ]

How did you know?
- I had my suspicions.

Dean Claxton, I think
it would be a very good idea

if you gave the blocks to
Professor Barkley to play with.

I did not come here
to be insulted!

Oh, Barkley, sit down!

- Yes.
- Impudence!

Oh, an egg.

Yes, an egg, an oval.

Can you draw an oval?

Tell me, Professor,
could you take an egg,

and holding it
above a table so,

let it drop about, uh, 3 feet
without breaking it?

Well, that's ridiculous!

It would break
if it dropped a foot.

That's where you're
entirely wrong.

Gentlemen, I can take this egg
and hold it 4 feet - -

4 feet - -
- Pardon me.

Pardon me. That - -
that would be 4 feet.

- To there?
- Yes.

- You think?
- Mm- hmm.

Hold it 4 feet
above the table.

You follow me,
do you Barkley?

Ah, ah, ah!
You're cheating.

You're cheating, 4 feet.

I could hold it 4 feet
above the table,

and I assure you, gentlemen,
that if I let it fall,

it would drop for 3 feet
without breaking.

Of course, what happens
after the 3rd foot,

that's not my business.

Dean, I propose
this meeting adjourned.

But we can't adjourn!

Mr. Ponsonby is on his way
over here!

Why, certainly,
and besides,

we have to for
my invisible monkey.

I wonder, Professor Claxton,
if you would mind

my attempting
a little experiment?

- Well, I - -
- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Could you, by any chance,
put your right hand

completely
in your left- hand pocket,

and your left hand completely
in your right- hand pocket

at the same time?

- Can you?
- I can, and have.

Well, I can try.

The right hand
in the left pocket,

and the left hand in the
right pocket at the same time?

[ Grumbles ]

No, no, no, no, no.
That's not in there.

It - -
it can't be done!

Yes, it can, and has.

- How?
- By taking off your trousers.

What?

[ Charlie chattering ]

Gentlemen, my monkey!

Come right in, William.
Right in, please.

Here, on the table,
with speed, with care.

That's it.
Thank you very much, William.

Now, I will bring him
back myself.

Professor, you would be
doing me a big favor.

That's quite all right.
Now, gentlemen, listen.

You hear the chattering
of my invisible monkey?

You will be able to see
the bar swing to and fro.

You will be able to hear,
but of the monkey itself,

there will be not
the slightest vestige there.

Ahh! This is amazing!
- It certainly is.

I've done it!
My experiment is a success!

I brought him back,
back to visibility!

Yes!
- He is positively insane.

Telephone
the sanitarium.

We are bringing a patient
along at once!

Right.
We better humor him.

Yes, yes, yes!
Let's - - let's humor him.

William! William! Gentlemen,
you'll have to excuse me.

Please, I've got to rush
back to my - -

No, no, no. Shotesbury, old boy,
you are not returning alone.

Why not?

As head of the college,
I cannot take that risk.

Risk of what?

A man with your peculiar
mental attainments?

Oh, now, now, Dean Claxton,
you really feel I have them?

You're a genius!

From you, Professor Barkley,
that's very kind.

There had been times
when I thought I had
no brains whatsoever.

Mr. Ponsonby has arrived.

Oh, well,
I can't wait for him.

He talks forever, the man,
and we'll lose

a million dollars in an hour,
but I have to get going.

Do you remember the last time
he was here?

Two hours, he talked.
- Come along, Shotesbury.

This way, please.
- No, no.

This way, professor.

Come along, Shotesbury.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Tell him to wait, we'll be back,
and make him comfortable.

We're taking Professor
Shotesbury to a rest home.

He's very tired.

Gentlemen, good - -

Well, where is everybody?

[ Chattering ]

Oh!

What a pleasant
little fellow.

Oh!

[ Thud ]

What happened,
Miss Shotesbury,

when Peter De Haven
returned, as you say,

to your home
the next afternoon?

Well, we, uh...
we talked.

Oh, I see.

Well, aside from
the invisibility,

would you say
he was quite all right?

Oh, yes.
Yes. He was fine.

Proceed. Do you remember what
your were talking about?

Yes, I do.

We were, or rather,

I was interested
in this Miss Lunceford,

the girl he's going
to marry, and...

I have a hunch all this is going
to turn out great!

I'm glad!
You didn't finish, Peter.

What were you saying
about Christine Lunceford?

Oh, well, it appears, Joan,
that to them

I was just some
sort of gilt- edged bond.

You know,
good negotiable security.

Then you aren't going
to marry her?

Not if she were the only girl
in the world.

I may not have my head,
but I've still got my pride.

Well, I'm glad
to hear that.

Let's have
some music, huh?

Mm- hmm.

[ Radio clicks on,
slow music plays ]

Why, Peter,
you're visible!

What?

Why, you're even handsome!

Huh?

Well, you're
even beautiful.

Peter,
where did you go?

Miss Shotesbury,
are you sure

this happened to you
in the living room?

- Yes, sir.
- Now just a moment.

You say he kissed you?

Just what was it like to be
kissed by this invisible man?

Oh...

Oh, it was wonderful,
Your Honor.

If you close your eyes,
the effect is just the same.

[ Laughter ]

Order! Order!

I see. Continue.

Well, we turned on the radio,
and suddenly...

Man: We interrupt this program
of recorded music

to bring you
the afternoon news.

These are the new developments
in the case

of the missing millionaire,
Peter De Haven.

Robert Struck was arrested
this morning

in the apartment
of Christine Lunceford.

Unable to furnish bail,
which was set at $5,000,

Struck is being held.

The stock market rallied
slightly this afternoon,

although there is no - -
[ Radio clicks off ]

They mustn't do that!
They've got to release him!

- Why?
- Don't you see?

This scandal will prove
the last straw.

Once he's released,
he and Christine

will be
in each other's arms.

Mama Lunceford
will insist on it!

Is that so important?

Why, of course it is.

Well, I mean, now,
you know that.

Well, I just wanted
to hear you say it.

[ Chuckles ]
I've got it!

I've got to get home
right away.

But you can't do that!

I've got money enough in
my wall safe to cover that bond.

Willie can put it up
for bail.

You know, anonymous friend,
or something?

Struck gets out,
marries Christine!

Willie!

But if you don't get back
in time, you may stay invisible!

Don't worry, honey.

I'll be back before
your father gets here.

Willie!
- Yes?

Get the car out.
We're going back to my place.

Okay, I'll get the car,

but don't you think you ought
to take your clothes off?

You'll look mighty funny
riding around in a car headless.

And don't forget the keys
to your apartment.

I'll be right back,
honey.

[ Smooches ]

Hurry.

Peter:
Come along with me, Willie.

I will,
but I shouldn't.

Somebody might shoot me
for a burglar,

and they'd miss you.

Don't worry.
Come on.

- Where's the key?
- I put it in your pocket.

Well, cut off my leg,
and call me shorty!

Here we are.
Come on, Willie.

Unlock the door.
Hurry it up.

Yes.

Come on.
What are you waiting for?

Pardon me, sir.
Would you mind moving over

so I can get the key in?

Step a little louder, boss.
I can't hear you!

I don't see no safe.
- You will.

- Small one, ain't it?
- Yeah.

What do you keep
in it, dimes?

No. Quiet, my valet
will hear you.

You know, Mr. De Haven,
the way you is now,

me and you could go into
the uncracking safe business

and make a lot of money.

Shh!

Here.

Phew! This sure is a lot
of potatoes.

[ Door closes ]

What's that?
- That's my valet.

Let's get out of here
before he sees us.

Boss, you with me?

Wait a minute.
Let me drive.

Yes.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Siren wails ]

Here comes the law.

Hey, cut out that fancy driving
and get behind that wheel.

- Yessir.
- Come on.

Get off my lap!

Yessir.

You going to be the death
of me yet.

Well, here we is.
- Yeah.

Now take the money in there,
and bail out Mr. Robert Struck.

But who would I say
the money is from?

They know I don't got
this kind of hay.

Just say
an anonymous friend.

- A who?
- Skip it.

Go on.
Get in that station.

Willie, you said
you got $5,000

from a man
you didn't even see.

You expect the jury
to believe that?

I don't expect them to,
but I sure would appreciate it.

Remember,
you're under oath.

You're sworn to tell the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.

Now you don't want to break
that oath, do you, Willie?

No, sir.
As far as I'm concerned,

I'm willing to drop
the whole business.

Good day, Judge.
- Just a minute! Sit down.

You're a little nervous.
- I can't help it.

I'm always that way when
I'm afore a judge.

Continue. You took the bail
money into the police station.

That's right, and the policeman
told us to sit down there,

on account
of he's kind of busy.

So we just set there.

"We?"
What do you mean, "we"?

Me and my conscience.

Hey!
What are you doing there?

Well,
what do you want?

I got bail money for a gentleman
named Mr. Robert Struck.

Say, that's a lot of dough.

Where did you get
all that money?

From a umomynous friend.

Who's a umomynous friend?

I don't know.
I'm just as ignorant as you is.

Can I get him?

I've had enough of this!
Out of my way!

I'm the only sane member
of the faculty,

with your blocks and you
with your flittings

and you
with your mushrooms.

It's vitally important that
I get to my office immediately,

and I want to tell you
that when I get there,

I'm going to report you all
to the authorities.

Take Professor Shotesbury
to his room, please.

How dare you do a thing
like this to me!

Do you realize who I am?

I am Reginald X. Shotesbury!
I am a professor of chemistry!

Ah, but you do like
baseball, Professor.

I do not - -
What's that got to do with it?

Of course I like baseball.
- Give the professor a nice room

right next
to the Brooklyn Ballpark.

I am not interested
in the Brooklyn B- -

Here, here!
Put me down!

This is sabotage, sabotage!

Put me down!
Put me down!

This is sabotage!

Help!
- Help.

- Help!
- Help.

- Let me out!
- Me, too!

[ Yodeling ]

My father did make a man
invisible. I've seen him!

Joan, if that is true,
where is this invisible man now?

- Yes, where is he?
- Well, I don't know.

I can't tell you,
but it is true.

Oh, I know it
sounds fantastic,

but you've got to let him
come home before it's too late.

Joan, we know you're only
trying to protect your father.

It's the sort of thing
you would do.

But believe me, my dear,

he's better off where he is
for the present.

Right.
He's right, Joan.

Now, if you like, I'll drive
you to the sanitarium.

Well, no.

No, thank you.
I'll drive myself.

Just as you said.

Well, in that case,
we'll be going.

Good- bye, gentlemen.

Good- bye, Joan.

[ Door bangs shut ]

Peter, is that you?

Peter: Yeah.
Where are you?

In here.

Oh.

Oh, excuse me.
I didn't know.

Joan, what's happened?

Is your father experimenting
on you, too?

No, no.
Something terrible has happened.

- You mean besides this?
- Yes.

You come with me,
and I'll tell you on the way.

[ Gasps ] Ah!

Joan: Hurry, I have to take this
serum to Dad at the rest home.

Peter: Now, will you please tell
me where we're going?

To the Glenview Rest Home,
where they're holding my father

under suspicion
of being insane.

- What?
- Peter, hold the wheel.

These things look pretty silly
driving a car.

Yeah, I suppose they do.

Oh! Miss, don't you think
you're driving too fast?

How did you get here?
Sit down before you fall out!

Whoa!

Oh!

[ Horn honks ]

Miss Joan, be careful.

Oh! Look out!
[ Tires screech ]

Be careful,
Joan, please!

Ooh!

Why couldn't I have been
in the Army?

Joan: Well, we have to hurry!
We can't be seen this way.

- Why not slow down to 90?
- Look out!

Oh, ooh!

This is suicide
if I ever saw it.

Don't hit anything.

Don't worry.
I won't.

Peter: Your brakes, the car
is equipped with brakes!

Whoo!

Uh, those people
are in a safety zone!

Can't you see?
- Did we make it?

Aaaaah!

Whoa!

Oh.

You better step on it.

One down, one up,
they're coming fast.

[ Siren wails ]

[ Brakes squeal ]

Peter: You just wait here.
We'll be right out.

Yessir.

[ Siren wails ]

Oh!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Door closes ]

Yes?

Joan: Daddy, what are you
doing in there?

I thought it was those
baseball attendants.

Is that you, Joan?
- Yes.

- Where are you?
- Here I am.

What are you doing here?
How'd you become invisible?

I used your serum.
- We've come to get you out.

- Is that you, Peter?
- Peter: Yeah.

- Where are you?
- Right here, Dad.

- Dad?
- Uh, Professor.

Well, this is wonderful.
This is wonderful.

But, Joan, we've got
to get him back.

We've got to get him back
to my laboratory,

and we've got to do it
instantly. Now how?

Well, you'll have to
make yourself invisible.

- But how?
- We'll use your serum.

But how?
That's why I brought it
with me!

- You brought it?
- Yes.

Oh, how wonderful!
Of course.

Ye- - Then we can
all go out together.

- That's right.
- Oh, this is wonderful.

You're just a genius, darling.
- Never mind about that.

Now, you hurry.
- Yes, don't answer me back.

- Now, listen. Hurry up.
- Don't hurry me.

I - - Oh. Uh- huh.

Thought they were going to keep
me locked in here, did they?

Ha- ha, we'll show them.
Brooklyn ballpark, eh?!

- Shh!
- Quiet!

Quiet.

Daddy, please don't stop
to fold your trousers.

Why? I - - Oh!
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

Just force of habit, that's all.
- Now, come on.

Hurry up,
and don't make any noise.

Don't get excited.
Nobody is going to see us.

- Come on. Hurry up.
- Don't tell me what to do.

You go ahead.
I'll, eh...

Come on, Professor.
Get in back.

Huh?
I certainly will not.

In the back, I always sit in the
front, too drafty in the back.

I'll sit here with Joan.
You sit with Willie.

- All right.
- Better get away from here.

Willie:
There's a cop around here.

[ Siren wails ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Crossing bells clanging ]

[ Siren wails ]

Ah!!

Ah!

Look at that!
Look out!

Oh!

You'll kill us all,
invisible or not.

They ain't fooling.
This road really is closed.

[ Siren wails ]

Ugh, ugh.

Miss Joan, don't go so fast.

This road is really bumpy.

Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Miss Joan, don't go so fast!

Ugh, ugh, ugh.

[ Siren wails ]

Whoa!

Which one
of you is that?

Peter:
That was me, Willie.

Uh- oh.
Here comes the law.

And you are asking this court
to believe, Professor,

that when the three of you
emerged from the asylum,

you were all absolutely
invisible?

That is the truth.

And you're willing to swear
the third member of your party

was Peter De Haven,
the missing millionaire,

and that he was alive?
- Yes.

Well, what happened to him
on his way back?

I have no idea.
He was probably thrown out

of the car with Willie.
At any rate, he disappeared.

The invisible man disappeared?
Well, well, well.

That's funny.

Order, order!
Shh.

For all you know, they may still
be in the back of your car.

That's not possible.

I swept the whole car out
with a whisk broom.

It's a little whisk broom
I have up in the front.

I wish it were a vacuum,
be easier.

And how, pray, did you and your
daughter return to visibility?

With the injection
of this antidote,

Your Honor,
which brought us back

instantly
to our normal selves.

And I suppose if De Haven
were here and now,

you could give him an injection
from that hypodermic

and bring him back,
just like that.

Just like that,
Your Honor.

This is the most outlandish
fabrication of falsehood

I've ever listened to.

Peter:
Oh, I wouldn't say that, Judge.

[ Spectators scream ]

Peter, is that you?

Yes, sir,
but I'm a little warped.

Call me a fabricator?

With your permission,
Your Honor, I'll show you.

Yeah.

There should be
a gate here.

Now Dad will show that judge
a thing or two.

I hope he don't forget
the combination.

What brought you back,
Professor?

Whatever it was,
I hope you saved some for me.

I'm getting mighty fed up
with this condition.

And I don't
blame you, Peter.

I'm sorry, but don't ask me
any questions.

Now, your arm.

Come, come, come.

I'm coming, Your Highness - -
Doctor.

I'll be there, Judge.

This man is the most annoying
and irritating man

I have ever met.
There.

Now, Your Honor, you're going
to witness the results

of one of the greatest
experiments in modern science.

- I wonder.
- I wonder.

- So do I.
- Me too.

Look.
What did I tell you?

Isn't that marvelous?

Ah- choo!

Peter, you've caught cold!

Yeah.
That lake was as cold as ice.

Long time, no see.

I didn't know you cared.

Don't look now, but aren't
they a handsome couple?

My daughter, you know?

Uh- huh.
Who's the boy?

- What?
- Who's the boy?

Well, he's, uh...

Well, it doesn't matter,
but isn't she beautiful?

Looks just like her mother.

Uh- huh. She must.

Oh, my. I'm going to get me
a job where I can relax.

Sure is glad it didn't
happen to me.

They got me!
