An American secret agent travels to Africa to infiltrate a Nazi spy ring.
American secret service agent Rex Bennett (Rod Cameron) is assigned to defeat the plans of the Nazis to form an alliance in Africa with the Arabs. His aides are Janet Blake (Joan Marsh), a United Nations agent posing as a reporter, and Pierre LaSalle (Duncan Renaldo), a Free-French officer. Complications arise when a trusted Arab chieftain (Lionel Royce) turns out to be Baron vom Rommier, a German officer.
Formulaic to the max. Neither title reflects the serial&#39;s actual content, &quot;Fighting Nazis in Morocco,&quot; (actually, the Iverson ranch). The plot is just to fill in the lulls between fistfights. The packaging claims over 40 &#39;fistic encounters&#39; in 15 chapters. That&#39;s at least three a chapter! Aside from seeing Duncan Renaldo cast as a Spanish accented Frenchman, watching how much furniture is overturned, smashed, thrown, burned or blown up is what this serial is really all about. When the protagonists start fighting, you can bet that everything in the room will be in it, too. So, kudos to the fight choreographer, who is the real star of this serial! <br/><br/>Two positive notes: the characters do sometimes lose their hats during the fights, and best of all, we have the girl side kick (often a journalist, as she is here) actually participating in the mayhem, mostly by shooting and killing the bad guys. Yet to come is Linda Stirling killing the main villain in &quot;Manhunt of Mystery Island&quot; (1945). On the negative side, there are just too many jump out of the way escapes– before the slab falls, before the car goes over the cliff, before the speedboat explodes, before the building explodes, before the truck hits you, etc. etc.<br/><br/>It is claimed that this serial partially &#39;inspired&#39; George Lucas to make the first Indiana Jones film, but that is more by implied concept than because of the actual story or the serial&#39;s development.<br/><br/>Rod Cameron &#39;shines&#39; as a moving rock, a role he played in all his films. Other than watching all the furniture getting smashed, there&#39;s nothing really going on here, compared to other serials that have fewer fights, more story, better actors and more developed characters.<br/><br/>I give it a 3 for all the furniture smashing.
One thing you can say about Rod Cameron character (Rex Bennett) in this serial, boy did he had to fight! All the episodes had a minimum of three fights each, and guess who was in the middle of most of them? That&#39;s right Rex Bennett. The second serial with the character was better than the first (G-Men Vs. The Black Dragon) due mostly to fights and cliffhangers but that doesn&#39;t mean that the first serial was boring, it was very good, but they made this one better. After dealing with saboteurs in the US, Bennett is sent to Northern Africa to stop the (very stereotypical) Nazi&#39;s schemes against the Allies. His main adversary is a certain Baron von Rommler, who&#39;s impersonating the local chief and friend of the Allies Sultan Abou Ben Ali. Nothing new, even for those days, true. But starting from this cliché the writers developed a series of creative and good perilous situations for Bennett and his friends (Joan Marsh and Duncan Renaldo as Janet Blake and Cap. Pierre). Plus when the fights ensued not only the stunts wanted to bring up something new, but even the cameramen! All in all, a good way to spend some hours in front of a TV.
