...Invisible Menace (Warner Bros.) involves Boris Karloff and a job lot of studio doughboys in a murder mystery in a U. S. arsenal. Unfortunately for the film, erstwhile Bogeyman Karloff is not the menace; fortunately, he is not invisible either...
...seems that Franco's aviators were bombing a loyalist munitions storehouse, and for several minutes the air was full of death-dealing missiles, which fell in large numbers all around the arsenal, but somehow or other failed either to hit their objective or even to explode when they crashed on the ground.

One look at the small arsenal in the boat, rifles, pistols, gas bombs, rounds of ammunition, and the suspicious local police rushed the refugees off to jail, suspected them of being a revolutionary expedition to Cuba's shores.
