In the Masked Marvel, a group of saboteurs, led by Japanese agent
Sakima, is trying to halt America's war materials production. They
engage in all sorts of sabotage. One insurance company brings in
four investigators to try and stop the destruction, since they are the
ones that pay for all of the damage caused by Sakima's agents. Helping
the investigation is the Masked Marvel, who is secretly one of the four
investigators. Also helping the investigators is Alice Hamilton,
daughter of the owner of the insurance company. Mr. Hamilton is killed
in the first chapter by Mace, the number one field agent for Sakima.
Also helping Sakima is Mr. Crane, who is highly placed in the insurance
company. Mr. Crane has a trap door which allows him access from his
office too the basement, which is secretly the lair of Sakima. And
now, on with the movie.
Sakima's henchmen
are pouring a highly flammable liquid known as Nitrolene into a storage
tank containing lend-lease gasoline. When the gasoline is used in
airplanes, they will explode, destroying the Allied air forces.
The Masked
Marvel arrives in time to prevent the villians from completing their nefarious
scheme. He battles with one of them on top of the storage tank.
Mace decides
to eliminate the Masked Marvel and the gasoline at the same time by lighting
fire to the delivery truck containing the Nitrolene.
As the
fire burns out of control, the Masked Marvel is knocked off the top of
the storage tank . . . .
. . . . and
crashes through the canvas top of the truck.
. .
. The truck explodes in flames. What will become of the Masked Marvel?
You'll have to wait until next week to
find out!!
