Rookie detectives stumble into the case of a boxer who injects invisibility serum while trying to nail the crooks who told him to take a dive and then framed him for murder. A routine A&C comedy, part of the horror-spoof series that started with "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948) and lasted till the mid-1950s, when their time at Universal ended. Claude Rains (the original Invisible Man) makes a discreet cameo appearance.
