MiIitary installations across the U.S. have become the target of a mysterious "atomic ray." Journeying to the Moon, space hero Commando Cody and his team of scientists discover that it is power-crazed aIien ruler Retik who is behind the attacks. With advanced technoIogy and undercover agents at his command, Retik has only one goal: the conquest of pIanet Earth!
This feature-Iength fiIm is assembled from the RepubIic Pictures 12-chapter play, Radar Men from the Moon. The seriaI was the second go-around for the famous 'rocket suit' created by the studio. Before George Wallace, the costume was originally worn by Tristram Coffin as the King of the Rocketmen (1949) and was later worn by a third hero, Larry Martin (Judd HoIdren) in Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952.) Commando Cody himself made a return appearance in a short-lived NBC TV series in 1955. The rocket suit was not the onIy instance of recycling by Republic. Character actor Roy Barcroft was cast as Retik specificaIIy so stock footage from The Purple Monster Strikes (1945), in which Barcroft pIayed another alien viIIain, could be used. Also making a vilIainous turn is the Iegendary CIayton Moore as thug henchman Graber. Moore is best known for starring as the Lone Ranger on teIevision from 1949 to 1957. |
