Sir James Blake has retired from Scotland Yard so that he can assist his niece Hope and her friend Jerry in developing an apparatus they have invented. Sir James thinks that their invention has the potential to prevent wars, and plans to donate it to the League of Nations. But a gang of criminals led by the elusive "Scorpion" steals the device, and Blake and his associates must recover the invention and determine the identity of the "Scorpion".

Review

CinemaSerf

This is almost like an assault course of a movie - lots, and lots of action with secret passages, ray weapons and a man with a crustacean arm. Unfortuentley, the story is woeful and the acting keeps it good company. The film is an amalgam of the 15 parter featuring Herbert Rawlinson as the eponymous character who must race against time to save the world from the evil "Scorpion" who wants to steal Ralph Byrd's ray machine. The fight scenes are really poor, lengthy and badly staged leading to a last fifteen minutes that makes "Babes in the Wood" look like "The Seventh Seal". Cheap, not so cheerful - really not worth watching I'm afraid.
