This 12 chapter serial was the first one I had the pleasure of watching in it's entirety, one chapter per week on Britain's ITV network back in the early 1980's. Raiders of the Lost Ark had brought a new interest in this type of entertainment, as it itself was based on the amazing exploits of serial adventurers in the 1930's and 40's. This is no Raiders of The Lost Ark tho. The star seems to have disappeared apart from Saps at Sea (Laurel and Hardy) he doesn't appear to have any other movies after this one. And IMDb.com seems to have his d.o.b wrong, as this would've made him (Jack Lloyd) only 10 years old in this movie. It is today considered to be lost, as are several of Universal's early talkie serials. The plot concerns several groups, including master of disguise The Panther in search of a valuable ancient Egyptian amulet. It's been 25 years since I saw this movie, so details of the plot are vague now.But if memory serves me correctly, it plays out like an old dark house type mystery.
