Amazing Transparent Man
1960
Joey Faust (Douglas Kennedy), notorious safecracker and hood, is aided in an escape from prison and joins Laura (Marguerite Chapman), who is waiting nearby in a getaway car. Faust has never seen this. hard, worldly-wise woman before and is suspicious, but has no alternative but to go with her, although he doesn't know why his break has been arranged.
Hours later, Faust and Laura arrive at a secluded Texas ranch, where they are greeted by Major Krenner (James Griffith), a master spy, who tells Faust he has been freed for one reason: To help steal fissionable materials for the experiments of Dr. Ulof (Ivan Triesault), a refugee scientist being held by Krenner.

Subjected to the ray, Faust enters a high security area and walks away with radio-active materials. An all-out alarm fails to halt him, and he is convinced he can rob a bank in the same way.

He is fearful of the effects, but since Krenner is holding his teen-age daughter as a hostage, he ~has little recourse. He soon finds, however, that the excessive radiation poisoning will soon prove fatal to Faust.
Again invisible and sent out to obtain more of the necessary materials, Faust double-crosses Krenner, and robs a bank . . .
