Description
Thanks to its sophisticated scripting and special effects, this film is widely considered one of the top examples of the serial form. Come out and watch our illustrious hero (played by the weightlifting champion Tyler) battle his arch-nemesis The Scorpion, as both struggle to get their hands on the death ray known as the Golden Scorpion. Tonight's thrilling episodes are "Curse of the Scorpion" and "The Guillotine." Restored prints!
