dick tracy be on the hunt of a mysterious criminal know a the lame one ( he have a bum foot and but i think the title describe the villian general appearance ) and leader of the mysterious spider gang . the lame one along with his hunchbacked assistant kidnap tracy brother and alters his appearance and and go out fight him endlessly throughout this boredom . this serial move incredibly slow ( mainly this isn not a whitney or english chapterplay ) and the acting outside of ralph byrd be dead wood and especially smiley burnette . even when the master criminal be unmasked and the audience be force to say and who be this guy . add a really dumb and sentimental end and and well you get the pic . don not judge the next three serial base on this one . in term of serial and 4 out of 10 .
