Being invisible lands him in spy rings, diplomatic circles and even the girls’ locker room. On his way to the wedding, government bureaucrat Sam Cooper inadvertently grabs a top‑secret invisibility potion, triggering a madcap scramble as Russians, other villains and his own State Department superiors vie for it. To escape the Reds, his furious fiancée and his bosses, Cooper drinks the potion himself, only to make the chaos worse.
