Dexter Riley, along with fellow science majors Schuyler and Debbie, concocts an invisibility spray. But when a gang of thieves find out about it and plan to steal it, it's up to Dexter and friends to stop them. The gang, headed by A.J. Arno (Creator/CesarRomero), wants the formula to use in a bank robbery. Meanwhile, Dexter employs the spray at a golf tournament, much to the surprise of apoplectic college Dean, Higgins (Joe Flynn).

Just like before, Dean Higgins has a meeting with the rest of the college staff about the budget cuts that their school is facing, while Dexter and the rest of the students are listening in on him. However, what Dexter and the gang don't know is that Hedwig, the school janitor had been watching them and reports to Dean Higgins that his office had been bugged, which leads to Higgins trying to search for the walkie-talkie that Dexter had planted in his office. However, thanks to the combined effort of Dexter and his friends, Dexter is able to remove the walke-talkie before Higgins can even discover it. In the chemistry lab, Dexter is trying to work on a brand new project while another student, Druffle, is studying about the flight patterns of bumblebees. One night, lightning strikes the roof of the chemistry lab which then surges directly into Dexter's project. The next morning, Dexter discovers that his project has been turned into a dark liquid which causes anything that comes in contact with it to become invisible. At the same time that this happens, A.J. Arno has been released from jail and now expresses interest in taking care of the college's budget cuts. After making this discovery to his friends, Schuyler and Debbie, Dexter and Schuyler make themselves invisible so that they can sneak into Arno's office and find out what he's really up to. Once Dexter and Schuyler discover that Arno actually plans to turn the college into a gambling establishment, they escape after taking several pictures of the evidence and show them to Dean Higgins the next day. This time, the debt for the school is $50,000 but Higgins decides to compete in a golfing tournament in order to win the prize money. The next day, Higgins turns out to be incredibly inept at regular golf, so Dexter makes himself invisible in order to help Higgins win the tournament. Unfortunately, when Higgins has been invited to compete in a professional golf tournament, Dexter learns about it too late and has no choice now but to watch Higgins fail at golfing on TV. After this humiliating loss, Higgins has no choice now but to depend on the Forsythe Award, until Druffle comes in all bandaged up after an accident involving the bumblebees he was using for his experiment. When trying to demonstrate the invisibility formula, it ends up getting stolen by Arno's chauffeur, Cookie, so the demonstration the next day turns out to be a disaster. After hiding a walkie-talkie in some flowers in Arno's office, Dexter and the others then learn that Arno and Cookie plan to make themselves invisible as well as the money that they are robbing and try to warn both the police and the bank president, who do not believe the kids. After the crime has been pulled off, what follows after that is a madcap chase during which Cookie uses the formula to make the getaway car invisible as well until the chase ends when the crooks inadvertently drive their car into a swimming pool. After A.J. Arno is arrested again, Dexter and company recover the formula but when they try to demonstrate it again when Dean Higgins inadvertently walks in its path, nothing happens, until the top half of Dean Higgins becomes invisible, surprising and scaring everyone. As a result the $50,000 prize has been awarded to Medfield College.
