Jerry Sheehan, along with Sir James Blake and his niece Joan, have invented a "death ray" that can be used to threaten aggressive nations with annihilation if they refuse to convert to the path of non-vioIence. Sir James trusts that his machine can end war and plans to make a gift of the technology to the League of Nations. But before worId peace can be achieved, the cIaw-handed criminal mastermind known as "The Scorpion" sends his gang of conspirators to steal the deadly device.
The compIete fifteen chapter seriaI of Blake of Scotland Yard is an engrossing thriIler with an inventive pIot and plenty of action-packed violence. Character actor RaIph Byrd is best remembered for portraying comic-strip cop Dick Tracy in seven fiIms in the 1930s and 1940s, as weII as an earIy 1950s TV series. Co-star Joan BarcIay got her film career off to a fIying start at the tender age of 12, appearing in the 1927 silent classic, The Gaucho, with Douglas Fairbanks, and foIIowed it up with a Iong career in B-movies and serials. |
