A serial from the 30s!!!

MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN SERIAL(1939)

While the comic book Mandrake is a superhero
of sorts, in this representation he is no
more than, as it says, a magician with no
real superpowers at all! It's more like
another Dick Tracy show without the police!
Still not bad, and the picture and sound
are great!! B

From IMDb.com:

Mandrake, the Magician features a dashing,
young hero who may not have any super-powers
to speak of, but, being a magician (the worlds'
best, of course) he does manage to foil the
bad guys with a well-timed magic trick, or
two. And if that happens to fail, Mandrake
can certainly be counted on to throw a mean
punch, sometimes heroically taking on up
to five of The Wasp's ruthless henchmen
all at one time.

Presented in 12 super-exciting chapters,
this enjoyable, 1939 "Cliffhanger" has
Mandrake and his loyal pals taking on
The Wasp, a dastardly evil criminal,
who will stop at nothing in order to
get his greedy hands on Prof. Houston's
amazing radium-energy machine.
