Mais un homme dans la salle dérange le spectacle, et Nicole, troublée, danse mal. Le perturbateur est un jeune et séduisant malfaiteur, Loulou, que la police surveille. Après le spectacle, il vient offrir des fleurs à Nicole et lui donne un rendez-vous nocturne. Chez elle, la ballerine, en pensant à ce rendez-vous, s'endort et se met à rêver. Dans un premier rêve, elle connait le succès à l'Opéra, mais Loulou la trahit, et elle est désespérée. Elle rêve ensuite qu'elle épouse un riche bijoutier qu'elle n'aime pas, prend Loulou pour amant et tout se termine mal. Dans un troisième rêve, elle épouse Loulou et connait le bonheur. Elle se réveille pour courir à son rendez-vous, mais elle arrive pour voir Loulou arrêté par la police. Le soir suivant, au théâtre, lors de sa deuxième représentation, riche de ce qu'elle a vécu et rêvé la nuit précédente, elle est acclamée par le public.

Lou Francis (Lou Costello) and Bud Alexander (Bud Abbott) have just graduated from a private detective school. Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz), a middleweight boxer, comes to them with their first case. Tommy recently escaped from jail after being accused of murdering his manager, and asks the duo to accompany him on a visit to his fiancée, Helen Gray (Nancy Guild). He wants her uncle, Dr. Philip Gray (Gavin Muir), to inject him with a special serum he has developed which will render Tommy invisible, and hopes to use the newfound invisibility to investigate his manager's murder and prove his innocence. Dr. Gray adamantly refuses, arguing that the serum is still unstable, recalling that the formula's discoverer John Griffin was driven insane by the formula and did not become visible again until after he was killed. However, as the police arrive Tommy injects himself with it and successfully becomes invisible. Detective Roberts (William Frawley) questions Dr. Gray and Helen while Bud and Lou search for Tommy.
