Merrick and Robert Dillon, continuity by Perley Poore Sheehan, Eddy Graneman, Leon D'Usseau, dialogue director Zelma Carroll, musical score by Lee Zahler, special effects by Ken Strickfaden....the cast includes William Stage Boyd (Zolok), Kane Richmond (Bruce Gordon), Claudia Dell (Natcha Manyus), Josef Swickard (Dr. Manyus), George "Gabby" Hayes (Butterfield), Billy Bletcher (Gorzo), Eddie Fetherston (Jerry Delaney), Milburn Morante (Chet Andrews), Margot D'Use (Rama, Queen of the Wangas), Jerry Frank (Appollon), Ralph Lewis (Prof. Reynolds), William Millman (Dr. Colton), Gino Corrado (Sheikh Ben Ali), Sam Baker (Hugo, lead giant), Everett Brown (Boyo, a Giant)....special note that actor George Francis Hayes gained fame as Hopalong Cassidy's sidekick "Windy Halliday" between 1936-39 in the Cassidy B-Western series...after leaving the Hoppy films in 1940 he took the nickname of "Gabby" through some legal requests not to use "Windy", from then on he worked with Roy Rogers, John Wayne and Randolph Scott under the name of Gabby Hayes, became a favorite character in B-Westerns, was always in the Top Ten Western Box Office stars, inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2000, and he deserved it you're durn tootin'....meanwhile back to our Super Serial which is always good till the last drop and this serial is no exception...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there...all courtesy of VCI Entertainment, who in my humble opinion is the best there is in restoring early serials and features.
