Fighting G-Man Rex Bennett (ROD CAMERON), back in the
'States after completing his MANHUNT IN THE AFRICAN
JUNGLE, now takes on the infamous Black Dragon Society, an
Asian spy ring set upon destroying the American war
effort. Headed by the insidious Baron Haruchi (NINO
PIPITONE) the Black Dragons initiate sabotage and murder
on a grand scale threatening troop carriers, munitions
plants and even Boulder Dam. Aiding Rex against the spy
ring are top agents from Britain Vivian Marsh (CONSTANCE
WORTH) and China Chang Sing. (ROLAND GOT) Helming the
action through15 break-neck episodes, master serial
director WILLIAM WITNEY puts the characters through their
paces enduring raging fires, massive explosions, crashing
airplanes, Oriental torture chambers and even a
poison-beaked raven!! At 6' 4", Rod Cameron makes an
impressive hero and handles the rigors of a cliffhanger
thriller like a champ. Constance Worth proves herself to
be a solid Republic heroine, diving from speeding cars and
blasting away with a Tommy gun like the best of them.
Given a larger than usual production budget elevating it
to the status of "super serial", G-MEN VS THE BLACK DRAGON
boasted some of the greatest perils and most extensively
choreographed fight sequences of any Republic serial.

complete with interactive menu for easy chapter selection
and complete with trailer reel, G-MEN VS BLACK DRAGON will
keep serial fans on the edge of their seats. Non-regional
