An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/tsQQDy_cYhCkkbZYJPQKtw==, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

The serial sees Captain America, really District Attorney Grant Gardner, trying to thwart the plans of The Scarab, really museum curator Dr. Cyrus Maldor - especially regarding his attempts to acquire the "Dynamic Vibrator" and "Electronic Firebolt", devices that could be used as super-weapons. In a rare plot element for Republic, the secret identity of the villain is known to the audience from the beginning, if not to the characters in the serial. The studio's usual approach was the use of a mystery villain who was only unmasked as one of the other supporting characters in the final chapter.

  • The Captain America serial was one of the many attempts during world war two to up moral of the soldiers and the whiny bastards that got medical exemptions from the army. And the women and children as well. It was the first foolproof showing that anything that Captain America touches fails. While not as terrible as The one yet to come, it is a proven fact that any soldier who watched this before D-Day was killed in combat. Captain America, time for you to write home to little Johnny's parents, you just got him killed.
