The gang from the original 1936 "Flash Gordon" is back in this 15-episode serial that is still fun to watch. A deadly ray is sucking up Earth's nitrogen, so Flash (Buster Crabbe) and his crew must save the day. They find that Flash's enemy Ming the Merciless (Charles Middleton) is behind it, working from Mars. Then, there's Ming's ally Queen Azara (Beatrice Roberts) who has the power to turn people into clay. A full-length feature was made from the serial, known as "Deadly Ray from Mars."
