Peter De Haven (Jeffrey Lynn) passses out during his bachelor party. His friends play a prank by putting him in the college morgue. Professor Shotesbury (Edward Everett Horton) is doing an experiment to bring the dead back alive. He recruits dim-witted driver Willie (Willie Best) to get a body from the morgue. Of course, they grab the unconscious Peter and bring him to Shotesbury's home. When Peter wakes up, Shotesbury assumes his experiment is a success. Surprisingly, the formula actually makes Peter invisible. They are interrupted by Shotesbury's daughter Joan (Jane Wyman). The monkey has also turned invisible.
First, it's Weekend at Bernie's. Then it's a fun Invisible Man. This starts great. It just needs to be those three characters chasing after an invisible Peter. That's the hilarious part of the movie. The rest of the stuff is not much of anything. It doesn't need the wrap-around trial story. Certain parts of this are a fun screwball comedy.
