In an attempt
to update the classic H.G. Wells story, this series brought us Dr. Daniel
Westin, a scientist who had discovered a means of making any object invisible –
including himself.
When he found
out that the government planned to use his technique for military purposes, he
memorized the secret formula, destroyed his equipment, and turned himself
invisible to escape. Unfortunately his method for becoming visible failed to
work, and he was temporarily stuck in invisibility. Seeking the aid of a
scientist friend, he had a wig, highly realistic face mask, and plastic hands
made to conceal his invisibility, enabling him to resume a somewhat normal a
public life.
Daniel and
his wife Kate then went to work for the KLAE Corporation, where he continued his
experiments in order find his way back. He also undertook an assortment of
dangerous security missions for his boss, Walter Carlson. Whenever the situation
got tight, Daniel could take off his mask and clothes and "disappear." This did
not always prove to be as helpful as it might seem, however, as when he was
trapped in the house of a blind man, extraordinarily sensitive to sound, who was
out to kill him.
