Another laughable but charming in its innocence 40's serial, this one introducing a new character: Commando Cody! He transports himself via rocket blasters strapped to his back. Residents of the moon are hell-bent on taking over earth and its Commander Cody's calling to thwart them at every turn. The 'moonlings' are pretty cheesy looking. Trust me, costs were spared in the production of this epic. Originally intended for theaters to unreel one chapter each week so the kids would come back in the 40's to spend their quarters to find out what happens next or to learn how Commando Cody escapes the peril that ended last week's episode. TV was just around the corner and this serial was one of the most often seen. INTERESTING FACT: Clayton Moore appears here as a supporting actor. He later went on to fame and fortune as "the Lone Ranger",one of the 1950's most popular TV westerns. See him here without his mask!! All 12 episodes are included.
