El misterio del barco

The entertaining tale of a possible land swindle in the bayous of Louisiana (played rather unconvincingly by the Universal back lot), peppered with plenty of good old serial action. Fist fights, fires, explosions, boat crashes and chase scenes. The action does not take place aboard the steamer "Morning Glory" for the entire serial, only for the first five chapters.

Mantan Moreland is the great asset here, and is enjoyable to watch as always, I will agree with other comments on that one. A decent DVD release by the Serial Squadron, on a pressed DVD, but unfortunately no commentary tracks. The only extra is the two minute trailer. The print used is by no means pristine. Many portions of splotches, lines and scratches, but always watchable. Having said that, the quality is better on some of the chapters than it is on others.
