(from IMDb.com)

The plot revolves around an invisible man, seductive women counterfeiters and a wealthy man who has an alter ego named Flashman. The plot is your basic cat and mouse games as Flashman chases after the criminals as they visit various exotic locales. The minor drawback about the plot is that Flashman’s origins are never fully explained. Another head scratcher is why does Flashman enlist the help of a bumbling detective who works for the Scotland Yard? The most obvious inspiration for Flashman is Batman. Just like other superheroes like Batman who has a sidekick Riobin. Flashman’s has a sidekick his eccentric and free spirited younger sister. The way the plot evolves is at times reminiscent of how the bad guys in an Austin Powers film’s are allowed to escape to easily. Flashman clearly has the upper hand and yet the bad guys elude him numerous times.
