Brick Bradford (1947) was the 35th serial released by Columbia Pictures. It was based on the comic strip Brick Bradford, which
was created by Clarence Gray and William Ritt.
Plot
Brick Bradford is assigned by the government to aid Doctor Gregor Tymak, scientist and inventor who is working on an "Interceptor
Ray" that can destroy incoming rockets. Unfortunately, it can
also be used as a death ray, bringing it to the attention of
foreign spy agent Laydron. Tymak uses his door into the
fifth dimension to escape criminals and it takes him to the far
side of the Moon (which luckily has air and is a rocky terrain
without craters). There he is captured and sentenced to die
by freezing to absolute zero by the Queen
Khana, despot of the Moon, because they do not believe he
has come from the Earth.
The action moves to the Moon as the ray requires a special
element called Lunarium (with an atomic mass of 200) previously
only found in a meteorite. Working with exiles in the lunar
wasteland, the heroes overthrow Queen Khana and return
with the Lunarium.
However, the device still requires a formula hidden on an
uncharted island 200 years in the past, so Brick and sidekick
Sandy Sanderson travel in Tymak's time machine, the Time
Top, to retrieve it. The final third of the serial is spent on
modern day Earth with more trouble from the spy Laydron.
