Synopsis: One of many films inspired by the 1897 H.G. Wells sci-fi novella The Invisible Man. The film follows a circus clown and a gang, both of whom can become invisible due to ingesting a formula developed by the government during WWII. The gang of criminals has been using their powers to wreak havoc and cause chaos throughout Japan and the clown (portrayed by Kawazu) is the only one with the courage to stand up to them.

Released less than two months after the original Godzilla with Eiji Tsuburaya handling effects for both films. For the former, Tsuburaya used optical compositing to enhance the illusion of invisibility, such as a motor scooter ridden by the invisible hero that seems to move on its own. Meanwhile, the ending recalls the famous farewell-in-a-fireball climax of Raoul Walsh's White Heat.
