Scientist Daniel Westin and his wife Kate are developing a process to teleport matter via laser beams, and accidentally create a means of invisibility. However, after Daniel prematurely tests it on himself, the process goes wrong, trapping him in an invisible state... and foreign powers want the secret of his process.

The U.S. government discovers that someone has been stealing paintings from the Capitol and replacing them with forgeries. They know who the culprit is, but need Daniel to go in and get the evidence they need to deal with the matter.
