一名神祕陌生人來到伊坪村，後來被揭露竟是隱形人——一位透過實驗方法成功隱形的科學家。起初，他企圖利用隱形狀態偷竊與逃亡，但孤立無援的處境和日益高漲的怒火，使他變成危險的威脅。隨著隱形人的存在傳開，整座村莊陷入恐懼。當地醫師肯普博士得知他的祕密後，他逃往國外的計畫遭到破壞。在當局與鎮民追捕下，他變得愈發暴力且失去控制，最終導致一場孤注一擲的圍攻，以及橫越英格蘭鄉間的獵捕行動。

The stranger arrived early in February, during the year’s last snow. Cold wind and snow followed him from Bramblehurst station across the hills. He carried a little black bag in a thick glove. Clothes covered him completely. His soft hat hid everything except a shining nose tip. Snow lay on his shoulders, chest, and bag. He struggled into the Coach and Horses inn and dropped the bag. “A fire! Please, for kindness! A room and fire!” He stamped and shook off snow. He followed Mrs. Hall into the sitting room. He gave little explanation, but two gold sovereign coins. That secured his room.

陌生人在二月初抵達，當時正下著那年最後一場雪。寒風和雪一路跟著他，從布蘭布赫斯特車站吹過丘陵。他戴著厚手套，手裡提著一個小黑袋子。衣服把他全身包得密不透風。柔軟的帽子遮住了所有地方，只露出閃亮的鼻尖。雪落在他的肩膀、胸前和袋子上。他吃力地走進「馬車與馬匹」旅館，放下袋子。「請生火！拜託，行行好！給我一間房和一堆火！」他跺跺腳，抖掉身上的雪。他跟著霍爾太太走進起居室。他幾乎沒有多作解釋，只拿出兩枚金幣。這樣他就租到了房間。

And directly the crates were unpacked, the stranger went to the window and set to work, not troubling in the least about the litter of straw, the fire which had gone out, the box of books outside, nor for the trunks and other luggage that had gone upstairs. When Mrs. Hall took his dinner in to him, he was already so absorbed in his work, pouring little drops out of the bottles into test-tubes, that he did not hear her until she had swept away the bulk of the straw and put the tray on the table, with some little emphasis perhaps, seeing the state that the floor was in. Then he half turned his head and immediately turned it away again. But she saw he had removed his glasses; they were beside him on the table, and it seemed to her that his eye sockets were extraordinarily hollow. He put on his spectacles again, and then turned and faced her. She was about to complain of the straw on the floor when he anticipated her.

木箱一拆完，陌生人便走到窗邊開始工作，對滿地的稻草、已經熄滅的爐火、外頭那箱書，以及搬上樓的箱籠和其他行李，全都毫不在意。 霍爾太太把午餐送進去時，他已經全神貫注地工作，正把小滴液體從瓶子裡滴進試管，連她走進來都沒聽見。直到她掃開大部分稻草，把托盤放到桌上——或許還稍微重重地放了一下，畢竟地板亂成那樣——他才聽見。接著他把頭半轉過來，隨即又轉了回去。但她看見他摘掉了眼鏡；眼鏡就放在他身旁的桌上，她覺得他的眼窩深得出奇。他重新戴上眼鏡，然後轉身面對她。她正要抱怨地上的稻草，他卻先開了口。
