"You are too clever to be working for a stupid democracy"

....so says ace Japanese spy Mura Sakima to the Masked Marvel. This being a wartime serial of course the wily villain will be on the losing side. This fast paced serial concerns the tussle between Sakima and the Masked Marvel that draws in insurance investigators, various war time inventions and a woman connected with the first murder of many. It moves along quickly with lots of strenuous fist fighting where lots of breakaway furniture is smashed, bashed and mashed as well as the usual cars going off cliffs, boat chases, gun battles and cliff hangers. It's entertaining.

The acting is decent; Johnny Arthur as Sakima, Louise Currie as Alice Hamilton, the ubiquitous Anthony Warde as 'Killer' Mace and the four guys who play the insurance investigators. Compliments for versatility as usual should go to Dale Van Sickel who played 'Kline-Tall Gas- Works Saboteur' and 'Station-Wagon Thug' and 'Super-X Warehouse Thug.'

One thing that did surprise me was that not all the heroes survive.
