A serial from the 50s!!!

GOVERNMENT AGENTS VS. PHANTOM LEGION SERIAL(1951)

A very typical serial! This one has no
superhero or supervillian, but it does
entertain! Not one of the best tho! B

From IMDb.com:

Republic serial featuring our clean- cut,
incredibly well-dressed heroes Sam and Hal
who work for some unidentified GOVERNMENT
AGENCY in pursuit of evil Cady and Regan,
who are in the business of hijacking trucks
for their VALUABLE DEFENSE MATERIALS cargoes
and selling the cargoes to some FOREIGN
COUNTRY. Cady and Regan, by the way, also
wear nifty suits but can be distinguished
from Sam and Hal by the darker hats and
the borscht stains on their ties.

Great early '50s cars, and lots and lots
of fistfights (usually on a moving platform
or near imminently explosive materials)
will keep your attention for an hour.
After that, you may tire of the end-of-episode
cliffhangers that are invariably resolved
in a totally anticlimatic fashion: Hal
jumped clear of the car, you see, so he
REALLY didn't blow up with his Buick... Also
the concept that the U.S. government couldn't
pursue an espionage ring endangering national
security with more than two guys armed with .38s.

But by watching this video you will
certainly see the genesis of the Indiana
Jones films made with a vastly higher
budget and less circular plotting. - heckles
