Too many fights and cuts.
Old serial has too many fights in the dungeon below the castle. You'd think they'd lock the outside entrance door. Plus, Ralph Byrd is wasted as scientist who gets the crap kicked out of him twice an episode. In addition, the transfer is taken from a movie with too many splices or cuts. I was looking forward to a cleaner version, but got a jumpy version that is sometimes annoying to watch. I love old serials but this one has too many drawbacks, including an unbelievably weak villian.

Not the best
serial out there! The transfer was quite poor, with muffled sound and bad picture! Too bad too, cause I think it might have been a good serial! RP

A disappointment... Certainly not Byrd's best
I love chapter serials and generally enjoy any with Ralph Byrd, but this one.... not so much. It does have some fun, loopy moments but plowing through all 15 chapters is a long slough. If you're looking to add to your collection of Ralph Byrd tales, ok I suppose, but I'd only recommend this one for the hard-core collector.For most folks, there is better fare out there.

Lousy quality
The quality of this print is pathetic. The picture quality changes from reel to reel and the sound quality is off, too. Surely there must be a good print somewhere in the world, but this DVD wasn't made from it.

I realize it's a very old serial and probably hasn't been taken very good care of but the picture can be very shaky and no audio in some places. This should have been in the ad

A very poor storyline, even worse transfer ( never was cleaned up ), and none of the characters were very likeable. Other than that, it was "wonderful."

Great series, Love Ralph Byrd
Great series, Love Ralph Byrd, and he rocks, in this low budget serial. He was also in Dick Tracy and SOS Coast Guard while working on this great story..

already have
This is a good movie; but when I ordered it I thought that it would be another one, other than the one I have on DVD already. But, this is a good movie to watch. I really did enjoy it and will again when I watch it.

Serials 1930.'s
l remember seeing some of the chapters when I was a kid. On the latest viewing I find the acting not all that good.. The heroseemed a bit old for the part. The fight scenes were not as slick as later years where they were done to look good, probablywith stunt men.. An early cheap Sam Katzman fair. Having said that I find it had a certain style about it. so it was ok really.Ralph Byrd was not the main character (Dick Tracy fame)
