This unsold PilotMovie, broadcast over Creator/{{NBC}} in 1983, has the same basic premise as its 1940 namesake. It stars [[Series/GilligansIsland Bob]] [[Series/FarOutSpaceNuts Denver]] as a chemist whose lab chimp has created an invisibility formula, and Alexa Hamilton as the chemist's niece, Sandy Martinson, a struggling newspaper reporter who becomes an InvisibleStreaker after she wipes up the spilled formula in his lab.

Sandy uses her invisibility to investigate a series of museum robberies, while her uncle seeks an antidote.

!!Tropes in this film:
* BodyPaint: Invisible!Sandy applies it to her face and hands to give herself a visible form.
* BrainyBrunette: Sandy isn't a scientific genius like her uncle, but she is still highly intelligent.
* CoveredInMud: This happens to Sandy late in the film, when she falls into a mud puddle. A SpecialEffectFailure preserves her modesty.
* DitzyGenius: Sandy's uncle, being a Gilligan {{expy}} and all.
* DaEditor: Sandy's boss at the newspaper office.
* InvisibleStreaker: As already mentioned, Sandy becomes this after she wipes up the spilled formula.
* StatuesqueStunner: Sandy is at least as tall as her uncle.
* SunglassesAtNight: Sandy wears dark glasses until she finds a pair of brown contact lenses.
