Quotes:
[first lines]Admiral [Ch. 1]: This type of light cruiser is our greatest concern. It is fast and Great Britain has many of them with which to continue the blockade against us. That is why you were summoned herre to witness a demonstration of a new weapon. Are we ready, Doctor?

Released in September 1940,this was the first of two serials starring Allan "Rocky" Lane as Sgt. Dave King of the Royal Mounted. A foreign nation has found that " compound X " being mined in Canada and used as a cure for polio can also be used to make magnetic mines to destroy Allied ships. Soon enemy agents are sent to Canada to supply that country with enough compound X for their war effort. This serial benefits from a strong cast headed by Allan Lane and Robert Kellard as Mounties out to stop the agents. Robert Strange as Kettler and Harry Cording as Wade Garson play the enemy agents. An equally strong supporting cast along with a literate screenplay,keeps the plot believable.Directors William Witney and John English never permit the action to drag . Top drawer stunting headed by David Sharpe, a memorable score by Cy Feuer, sfx by the Lydeckers and great location photography by William Nobles all add up to 12 chapters of stirring action !On tape and an excellent DVD produced by VCI. Highly recommended !
