The Serial Squadron Cinema Cliffhanger Archive

Now to include Chapter 1 and more
from the just-discovered 35mm nitrate original print!


The historic first sound serial, originally featuring
Wally Wales (Hal Taliaferro) And Neva Gerber
Directed by Ben Wilson

Secret Service agent Jack Deering is sent West to investigate a mysterious voice that booms from the sky and orders all nations to disarm under threat of stopping all electrical power across the globe. He not only investigates the voice, but protects the daughter of a scientist to whom the mysterious voice belongs from foreign agents who want to steal the valuable electrical secret she unknowingly possesses.

The first all-sound serial, which, apparently due to issues with a proprietary possibly magnetic soundtrack, received limited release in only a handful of states. Cast members recall the production as having been crippled by technical difficulties.

Re-created in audio, video and book form by:

Rick, Ryan and Allyson

Allyson Malandra as Jean Lovell, Mentor’s niece
Eric Stedman as Jack Deering, U. S. Secret Service Agent and Jeffrey Mentor, Crazed scientist
Rick Deacon as Edgar Ballin, Spy for the Russian government

Andrea Boyer as Mrs. Deering
