The premise

A fugitive, dangerous madman reaches an English village where he confronts his former partner who left him for dead in the jungle after their discovery of a diamond mine. When the former partner also claims to have since lost the mine and all its wealth, which he took all for himself, and though the partner is still living in a state of luxury , the madman takes up an offer from a crazed scientist to make him invisible, something the scientist has already done with experimental animals, so that he can take revenge.

Horror Vault's take

A dangerous fugitive arrives in rural England with a score to settle against the wealthy former partner who left him for dead and stole his fortune. When confrontation alone proves insufficient, he falls into the orbit of an eccentric scientist whose experiments with invisibility offer a terrifying new path to vengeance. What follows is a cat-and-mouse thriller steeped in noir atmosphere and classic Universal-era horror sensibility, as the line between calculated revenge and pure madness steadily dissolves. The English countryside and its manor houses provide an unsettling backdrop for a story where no one — and nothing — can be fully trusted.
