He is now able, at will, to transform himself into vapor. When his girlfiend is accused of theft, the Vapor Man leads the police to believe he is the perpetrator--and then continues to commit more crimes. The authorities use his girlfriend to intitiate a fool-proof plan to destroy the gaseous guy. Honda's frequent collaborator, Eiji Tsuburaya, is responsible for the first-rate special effects. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi
