The Masked Marvel

Republic has injected the current theme of Japanese spies and sabotage into the accustomed serial pattern of masked identity in this 12 chapter serial thriller. While the villains are fairly well established from the beginning, the leader of the masked heroes is not revealed until the final chapter. In the meantime there have been hair-raising adventures and escapes as "Sakima" lays his plans and the "Marvel" and his aides thwart them. There are four men and a girl working against the combined efforts of the former Japanese envoy and an insurance company official to disrupt the country's wartime industry. Contaminated gasoline, stolen diamonds, plant explosions, truck shipments and periscopes figure in the enterprises, as all serious damage is avoided by the courage and persistence of the masked group.
