A would-be American dictator and mad-scientist, known only as The Phantom Ruler, has developed a formula which, when sprayed on a solid object, renders the object and everything it contains invisible when exposed to rays emitted by a special lamp which he has also invented. Covered from head to toe in formula-treated cloth, he thus moves about unseen, with the objective of stealing enough money and formula components to render an entire army of willing followers invisible. When he successfully robs a bank vault, an investigator from the bank 's insuror teams up with a woman police detective to solve the mystery of the money which appears to have just vanished. But can they stop him in time?
