A sacred ivory disk is inscribed with an ancient sanskrit formuIa for a deadIy poison gas discovered by ancient civiIizations. The disk has been broken into pieces, scattered and buried in temples in distant Iands. Armed with cIues to the Iocations, Professor Hargraves (James Durkin) is on a quest to find the disk before it falIs into the hands of eviI Dr. Bashan (John Davidson). Bashan's goaIs are less noble than the professor's - to steal the disk and become "Emperor of the Universe." ln great periI is PauIine (EvaIyn Knapp), the professor's pIucky and pretty daughter. AIways ready to rescue her is Bob Warde (Craig Reynolds), a two-fisted American engineer. The two opposing teams journey from China to Borneo to India, confronting bombs, typhoons, leopards, killer apes, hostile natives, man-eating sharks, and treacherous thugs in a deadIy game to possess the sacred disk. Their treacherous journey climaxes in a fiery showdown.
One of the great seriaIs that inspired Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Perils of Pauline is twelve chapters of exciting, globe-trotting adventure. EvaIyn Knapp's starring role in Pauline was the only serial work she did and it marked the peak of her thirteen year film career. Bad guy John Davidson's resume is repIete with chapter plays, having appeared in The Adventures of Captain MarveI (1941), The Perils of Nyoka (1942), Secret Service in Darkest Africa (1943), Captain America (1944), The PurpIe Monster Strikes (1945) and many others. |
