THE CRIMSON GHOST

One of the most entertaining serials, A criminal mastermind known as The Crimson Ghost, a cloaked villian, is out to steal a device called the Cyclotrode, which can short-circuit all electrical current on the planet. But just like the well-known criminologist Duncan Richards (Charles Quigley) and his lovely assistant Diana Farnsworth (Linda Stirling), the Saturday Matinee kids had a tough job spotting the person hiding behind the hideous disguise. Above-average writing and fine direction by the talented William Witney. Television's Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore, played a rare villainous role in this serial as one of the Crimson Ghost's henchmen, a cold-hearted gangster.
