★★★★ · A fun rolicking adventure from Columbia · Don Porter666 · 2025-09-30
I'm not familiar with this serial, and I'm pretty sharp on serials from both Republic and Columbia. It doesn't have the furniture-breaking fistfights that a Republic serial does, but it does have a more robust story and in my opinion better acting than the usual serial fare. I love the Columbia voiced-over cliffhangers. Will definitely watch the rest of the series.
