Starring Charles Quigley, Linda Stirling, Clayton Moore (Lone Ranger) & I. Stanford Jolley
A criminal mastermind known as The Crimson Ghost is out to steal a device called the Cyclotrode, which can short-circuit all electrical current on the planet. Two-fisted criminologist Duncan Richards stands in his path. The Crimson Ghost is a criminal mind whose identity is unknown to anyone. He attempts to acquire a 'death-ray' device known as the 'cyclotrode'. C.G. orders henchmen to take the machine, or components of it. He communicates by radio; his minions wear a 'death-collar'. The collar compels obedience or death; C.G. may send a radio signal to activate the collar killing the wearer. Death also occurs if the collar is removed; it is booby-trapped. Duncan and Diana thwart C.G's. plans in every chapter (every 20 minutes in the long version); C.G. knows every move made with the development of the cyclotrode. It all balances out.
