Plot
An evil genius of unknown identity,
calling himself "Dr Vulcan," plots to conquer the world, but first
needs to eliminate one by one the members of the
Science Associates, an organization of the Earth's greatest
scientists. After narrowly
escaping an attempt on his life by
Vulcan, one member of Science Associates, Dr. Millard (James
Craven), outfits another member, Jeff King
(Tristram Coffin) with an "atomic powered rocket flying suit."
With the help of the suit, a magazine
photographer named Glenda Thomas (Mae Clarke), and other inventions
of Dr. Millard, King battles the minions of Dr.
Vulcan for twelve suspenseful episodes. Eventually Vulcan steals one
of Millard's more dangerous inventions, the
Decimator, and uses it to flood and destroy Manhattan Island
(courtesy of stock footage from the
once-thought-lost film, Deluge (1933), before being brought to
justice by Jeff King in his jet pack.
