I forwarded Carl's plot description to a friend, Michael Levine, who suggested that it might have been a 1952 episode of the TV series
"Tales of Tomorrow", which was a half-hour science-fiction anthology
series, like "The Twilight Zone". The relevant episode is titled
"World of Water".
But I think Michael was wrong, because the episode's IMDB page
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0717094/
contains this plot summary:
A disgruntled refugee scientist, frustrated in both his professional
and personal lives, develops a universal solvent, which threatens to
turn all solid material into water.
and three reviews by IMDB users, and nothing suggests a comedic tone.
Perhaps this was a different development of the same idea, then.
