this be exactly the sort of saturday matinee serial i love during world war ii . i be under ten year of age . and that the audience this serial be design for . look at it now and one must roar at it ineptitude and stupidity . the budget must have be next to nothing and give the shortcut and repeat . the acting . well and this be republic picture and 1944. they read the line . and no doubt have one take to make them convince . one and half star .
