The Highway to Tomorrow

| StoryTitle2 = The Man Nobody Could See | Synopsis2 =A man by the name of Conn stumbles on a formula which renders him invisible. He also has a formula that will make him visible again. He makes himself invisible to avoid his landlord who is demanding rent. He then begins to take advantage of his invisibility by walking about enjoying different things without paying. He also robs a bank in his invisible form and returns to his new apartment with the money. He then tries to make himself visible again but finds that the antidote does not work. Apparently he had grabbed the wrong bottle. Conn is devastated at the thought that he will never be visible again. In the meantime the public reports strange happenings as the invisible man moves about the city. The police locate Conn's new apartment and find his invisible formulas. A chemist is brought in to examine the chemicals and he determines that Conn needs the antidote to make himself visible again. The authorities go on TV urging Conn to give himself up. Conn is left with the dilemma of giving himself up and going to prison or continuing his invisibility nightmare.
