Secret Service agent Rex (ROD CAMERON) Bennett poses as a
Gestapo member in Berlin during World War II to learn of a
plot to swing African Arabs to the Nazi cause. He escapes
with the Dagger of Solomon and a forged Moslem scroll and
joins forces with pretty American correspondent Janet
(JOAN MARSH) Blake and French officer Pierre (Duncan
Renaldo) LaSalle. Rex agrees to bring the ancient
artifacts to Arab chief Sultan Abou Ben Ali to insure his
loyalty but the Sultan has been replaced by a Nazi
look-alike. Rex and his comrades are plunged into a series
of hair-raising adventures in their pursuit of Nazis and
their nefarious schemes. He faces death from a pendulum
blade, dynamite explosions, a sealed coffin and many other
perils throughout 15 pulse-pounding episodes. Janet even
adopts the guise of a veiled dancing girl in Casablanca's
Oasis cafe. Rod Cameron reprises his role of Rex Bennett
as seen in Republic's G-MEN VS THE BLACK DRAGON serial, so
if you liked that one, you'll love this. See grassy,
tree-covered Southern California stand in for the North
African desert! See Duncan (The CISCO KID) Renaldo play a
French police commandant!! Great fun. This set contains
the full 1943 black and white Republic Pictures 15-chapter
serial, digitally remastered and presented on DVD as a
two-discset. It is unrated,
recorded in NTSC format, and should play on any standard
DVD player.
