Attention, attention, number three reactor leaking.

Emergency drill five to operate at once.

Attention, attention, number three reactor...

Okay in here?

Are you all right, Dr. Brady?

This is gonna be a bit of a shock.

Better break it gently.

Hello? Uncle Peter. Sally, let me talk to your mother, please.

Sure, she's here. Where are you, Uncle Peter?

Not far away, but let me talk to Mother, Sally.

Okay, here she is.

Pete? Look, Jane, send Sally up to bed right away, will you?

But she always waits up for you. I know, I know, but tonight will you do what I

ask?

All right, but what's it all about?

Well, there's been an accident at the lab. I'm okay, but I look a bit strange,

and I don't want to scare the kid.

You really are all right, Peter. Yes, fine.

I'm covered in bandages, but don't let it bother you. It's camouflage.

I'll be right over.

Is that you, Peter?

It's me.

I'll be right down.

Pete! That was the accident, Jane.

I'm invisible.

Invisible?

You know what I've been working on?

I reckon I've been on the project too long.

Working with pretty powerful substances, too.

Absorb too much of them into my system.

Well, when I caught the full blast of a reactor leak... That was it.

Sorry, Pete, but I don't understand all that.

It's quite simple. Take a jellyfish.

Put it in water and you can't see it. Their refractive index is the same.

All that's happened to me is that my refractive index has been lowered to

that of air. So I'm invisible, see?

No.

How long do you stay that way?

You mean you don't know how to get back?

No, but believe me, I'll find out.

Peter, what's happened to your face?

It's nothing, Sally.

You remember I showed you an experiment when I made a guinea pig disappear?

Well, I tried it out on myself.

You mean, you're invisible?

Mm-hmm. Then what are you wearing all those bandages for?

Take them off and let me see. No, Peter.

We've got to live with it, honey.

Sally's okay.

And now, for my first trick of the evening...

Presto! Don't look like that, Sally.

It's still me.

Go on. Uncle Peter, more.

More? Certainly.

One, two, three.

Abracadabra.

I don't like that. Take it all off.

All right.

But remember, I'm here all the time.

Can I touch?

Come on.

See? Same old uncle.

Oh, you need a shave.

Minus three.

Pi bracket 62 plus... Pete!

I couldn't think where you were. I brought your coffee up. Your bed was

empty. I'm working. Or trying to.

But not all night, Peter. That isn't good for you. I've got to get the

answer. I must.

I can't spend my life this way.

Yes? Who?

It's the Daily News.

I don't want to speak to the Daily News. Not one bit.

He doesn't want to speak to the Daily News.

Oh, throw it out the window.

Oh, shut up, can't you? Answer it.

Have you looked outside?

Well, for heaven's sake.

It's a siege.

What are we going to do?

Listen, Uncle Pete is in the newspaper.

All over the front page.

Hey, give me that.

An invisible man. New victory for science.

Physicist in the thin air.

Wouldn't you know.

Well, that settles it. We barricade ourselves in. I'm too busy for this sort

of nonsense.

What about school?

I want to go to school.

None of the other girls have got an invisible uncle and in the newspapers.

You go to school, young lady. I'll see to it personally.

Here she comes, boys.

Mrs. Wilson, may I have a statement for your brother?

No, you can't.

How do you feel to have an invisible man around the house? No comment.

Why isn't he at work today?

Good morning, young lady.

Have you seen your father this morning?

He's not my father. He's my uncle.

What did he have for breakfast this morning? No comment.

It's worse than being in the zoo.

Why don't you go away? You're wasting your time.

Time's something we've got lots of.

We've got orders to stay right here and get a picture and a statement.

If you think you can take a picture of an invisible man, take it. I'm right

here.

Well, maybe a statement would be better.

Okay, I'm invisible.

I didn't intend to be. I don't like it.

Furthermore, I want to stop being invisible.

Therefore, I have a lot of work to do and no time for stunts. Good day.

Heavens, Pete, you gave me a fright. Those papers floating about by

themselves. I got fed up with being spied on.

This way they can't bother me.

And Jane, I'm busy. Pete, I'm worried.

Sally isn't home from school yet. She should have been back an hour ago.

Didn't you get her?

Maybe the boys outside have got her. Getting a story out of her. Could be.

I'll look.

Lindy?

Lindy!

Where's Sally, Lindy? Your mother said she'd bring her home with you.

Sally went off early, Mrs. Wilson, in the taxi that you sent.

Oh, I see. Thanks, Dick.

Pete!

Pete!

I'm right here.

I didn't send a taxi, and she isn't outside.

The police, at once.

The police.

No, don't go imagining all kinds of things, Mrs. Wilson. There's probably

some quite simple explanation.

Wouldn't surprise me if it were some newspaper stunt. Did you phone

everywhere she could be, Peter?

Yes, I've checked them all.

Molly's, the Crawford's, all over.

She's not with any of them.

I wonder if you've got a picture of the little girl.

Yes?

Who?

Speaking.

Yes?

I see.

I understand.

Who was it?

Sergeant, you'll think me crazy.

Sally's perfectly okay.

But Jane... That was little Rosemary Jones's mother. If I didn't go and

forget, it was Rosemary's party this evening.

Did this Mrs. Jones send a taxi for the little girl?

Well, yes, we planned it. I forgot.

She can't have got a taxi from around here.

Funny he didn't pick up the other little girl, too. Oh, Rosemary doesn't go to

the same school.

So you see, it was all a silly mistake.

And I'm sorry to have taken up your valuable time like this. Not at all,

madam. It's all in a day's work.

I'm only too happy the little girl's safe.

Thank you so much, Sergeant.

What is this?

I've got to go and get her. And you've got to come, too.

Now, Jane, start again. Where is she? Who's she with? And where do we have to

go? I don't know.

There was a man on the phone. He said he had her, and we had to go and fetch her.

All he wants to do is to meet you, and I can have Sally back.

He'll meet me, all right. Where do we have to go?

He left a note in the car.

We're to get in and drive where it says.

I'm coming, too. Come on.

Let's go.

Where do we go from here?

Let's see now.

Straight on to four corners, then take the next lane on the left.

Here we are.

This must be the empty house.

Don't worry, Jane. I'll be right with you.

Good evening, Mrs. Wilson.

Where's your brother? That was the arrangement, wasn't it?

Dr. Brady couldn't come.

I want Sally.

Where is she? What about the deal we made on the telephone?

Who, you?

Now, that would be telling now, wouldn't it?

If there's anything you want from Sally, I'm the one to speak to. Where is she?

I don't like people who break their word.

After all, a promise is a promise, isn't it?

Do you want a story, an interview?

Oh, no, no.

I don't want a story. I'm not clever enough to write for the papers.

And what do you want? That's what I was hoping to tell your brother.

What have you done with her?

Sally!

Sally! Sally!

I like a woman who does as she's told.

Now get back.

If you're lucky, I'll phone you again, see?

And next time, bring your brother. Or else.

Now leave this to me, Jane, and wait in the car.

I'll take care of this one.

Now.

Well then, so you are here.

That's just a taste of what's coming to you.

Where's the child?

Now, let's take this calmly, see, eh?

After all, we've got the kid. Start talking.

There's no call to be rough now.

Rough? I am stuck.

Where is she?

Okay, take your time.

Come back here.

Where is she I don't know I don't know All I had to do was to

take you to my friend

He's got the kid. Come on. Let's go

Give me my coat, Jane, will you? I'm freezing.

But Pete!

It's okay, Jane. Now go home and don't worry. I'll get her back.

There he is. At a price.

Well, well.

The things you scientists do.

Fascinating.

I want the child.

You shall have her.

Later.

Okay. What do I have to do?

I'll settle for cash.

I'll take 50,000, that's all.

You're out of your mind.

I haven't got 5,000.

Oh, yes, you have.

I wish I knew where.

In the bank, of course.

Hasn't it occurred to you that all you've got to do is to walk into any

bank and just take what you need?

I don't want any part of it.

It's too bad for little Sally.

Such a nice child. Why, you... Take your time.

All right.

I'll do it.

But how?

First you want the keys.

Banks are such suspicious people. They have two keys to the safe.

The manager keeps one and the head clerk the other. First you want the manager's

key.

The manager of the bank I have in mind lives right over there.

Flat number 16.

Okay, I'll get it.

If you're cold, why not hurry up and get it over?

No one there.

Someone trying to be funny, I suppose.

Why, I should have to go to the door at this time of night.

Might have been a gangster or a thug or anyone.

I would have gone, my dear, but if you went out so quickly, I didn't get a

chance.

You're never anywhere when you're wanted.

Trousers.

Sorry, pal.

Just alone.

I'm freezing.

Here's the door key.

Now listen.

The minute you open the door, the alarm will go off. You'll have to work fast.

It won't take the police more than two minutes to get here.

Supposing I'm caught.

What about Sally?

Simple. No money, no Sally.

Receipt bank. Form of exchange.

Uh-oh, this is where I vanish.

Sorry, gentlemen.

Out of the way, chum.

Duck for it.

This is where we leave you.

A bit desolate, but it can't be helped.

The bus will pass in three hours. Four, perhaps.

I hope we don't scare the life out of the passengers.

And I hope you don't mind if we shelter in the boat.

It's kind of cold.

You're here.

It's not mine.

Joe, you go in that car.

Dyer, come with me. We'll skip the main Rochester Road and cut across to the

Maidstone Road.

Yes, sir. Did you get the money?

It's in the boot.

Do you think you can nip over the side of the boat without being seen?

Yeah. Good.

Now run down the gangplank, jump off onto the mud and slip along under the

bank to the right.

Wait about a hundred yards up.

I'll be there directly.

Meet me at my place till 11 o'clock.

I'll pay you off.

First, Joe, lose that car.

I'll ditch the others in the suburbs. And remember, Di, no speeding.

Well, go on, on your way.

The money's in there!

Come along, Sally. Here you get.

Here's a policeman. Give him a wave.

Hey, a car. Attract his attention.

Look, there's a police car.

Go on, give him a big wave.

Fine. Now we slow him down.

And this is where we put on the squeeze.

That's Tony Caprice!

You're a right one, you are.

Keep him talking, I'll switch the money.

Now, Jess, what's going on here? You weren't driving that car?

No. Well, who was then?

Those men are... Look in the back of their car.

You're in my way, you fool.

I can't get through.

There, bash out the windshield.

Hey, Val, have a look at this. I can't, will you give me a spanner?

I haven't got a spanner. Put your foot through it. You put yours through it.

Oh, our old friends.

Go get them.

Hey!

I still want to know who was driving this car.

My uncle, of course.

Oh, yes?

Where is he, then?

Right here. He's invisible.

Bless you.

Gobbleogs, Ellie.

Is it snowing?
