Col. March of Scotland Yard: "The New Invisible Man"

March (Boris Karloff) and his assistant, Ewan Roberts, are talking to Roger Maxwell, who claims he has seen a disembodied hand fire a gun with his binoculars. As they leave the house, Bernard Rebel says that he heard the gunfire. Then Patricia Owens joins the conversation. It was her house where the mystery was supposed to have occurred. She and her husband, Anthony Forwood, allow Karloff to search the house. Forwood has a mystery puzzle box from Tibet. Maxwell comes into the house to apologize, but sees a picture of the man he says was murdered. Forwood says he was his uncle who died four years ago.

Karloff has Maxwell arrested, mainly to keep him out of the way. Roberts goes to Maxwell's room to keep an eye on the neighboring house, and sees the same disembodied hand. He rushes across to investigate and finds a pair of rubber gloves. Karloff has discovered that the trick is the table on which they are lying has a trick mirror in it. Karloff discovers that Forwood has a large collection of stolen works of art. Forwood knocks him out and starts for the Thames River to throw in his body. However, Maxwell sees him leave and calls the Yard. Roberts arrives just in time to rescue Karloff from "among the antiques."
