The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly

A criminal scientist, Dr. Miles Archer, develops a formula to make himself invisible and uses it to commit crimes. When he's exposed to a mysterious gas during one of his heists, he mutates into a fly-like creature. Meanwhile, the brilliant but eccentric scientist Dr. Bob Wilson is on the verge of a breakthrough in invisibility research, unaware that his former colleague is on a dangerous path. The police, led by Inspector Daniels, are trying to catch the invisible thief while Dr. Wilson races against time to stop the fly-creature before it causes more harm.
