The Invisible Woman (1983 film)

The Invisible Woman is a 1983 made-for-television science fiction comedy film starring Alexa Hamilton as Sandy Martinson, the titular character, and Bob Denver as her scientist uncle, Dr. Dudley Plunkett.

Dr. Dudley Plunkett, a scientist, is experimenting with numerous containers of colored chemicals in his laboratory at the Universal Biochemical Institute in Washington D.C.

Chuck reaches through the bars of his cage and mixes some chemicals together, accidentally producing a formula which turns him invisible after he touches it.

Plunkett phones his niece, Sandy Martinson, a newspaper reporter who is working on a story about stolen art.

She finds out that wealthy philanthropist Carlisle Edwards is the mastermind behind the thefts and that he has instructed his two henchmen to steal Cleopatra's scepter next.

He plans to reveal the invisibility formula to his superior at the Institute, Dr. Farrington, by inviting the board of governors to a meeting in his lab with Sandy there at the moment she is due to reappear.

After Farrington admonishes him and leaves, Sandy tells her uncle she decided to keep her invisibility a secret so she could use it to aid in her job as a reporter.

While the thieves are in the back of the car shooting at the police, Sandy removes her makeup to become invisible and pretends to be Cleopatra again.

Back at Dr. Plunkett's home, Sandy shows off her front-page story in today's newspaper to her uncle, headlined "Museum Robbery Foiled."

Sandy, in invisible form, performs a series of pranks on the board members that they can't explain scientifically, which convinces Farrington to give Plunkett his job back.

This was the last of several television comedy productions worked on by both producer Sherwood Schwartz and actor Bob Denver, who first collaborated on Gilligan's Island.

Cinematographer Dean Cundey went on to work on multiple films for directors Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg and receive an Oscar nomination for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
