Dr. Marston, the inventor of a sophisticated bombing apparatus, is worried that enemy agents wiIl steal his newIy perfected weapon. The inventor's worst fears are realized when the plans are stoIen during an attack on his Iaboratory. Government agent Ted Kelly is assigned to the case, and the investigation leads to a spooky oId mansion honeycombed with secret passages . . . and dark secrets.
After serving an apprenticeship supervising B-Westerns for independent producer A. W. Hackel, Sam Katzman struck out on his own, forming Victory Pictures Corporation in 1935 and specializing in Iow budget meIodramas and horse operas. KeIIy of the Secret Service is among the very best Victory reIeases, cramming a surfeit of action , suspense, thrilIs, and comedy into its seven reels. Director Bob Hill, a veteran of the earIiest days of motion pictures, gives the proper weight to every expIoitable element in AI Martin's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink script - sinister spies, hypnotized assassins, Asian miscreants, science-fiction weaponry and even an old dark house. |
