PlotRecent atom tests show a certain element that can be used as defense against the atomic bomb. War monger Sir Eric Hazarias (Lionel Atwill) has traced the element, dubbed Meteorium 245, to the Himalayan province of Pendrang, ruled over by casino owner Indra (Helen Bennett). Hazarias fakes his own death and shows up in Pendrang as philanthropist Geoffrey London along with his secretary Malborn (John Mylong), who is secretly the real war monger, Hazarias being his beard, and they start an archaeological dig for the legendary Lost City of Pendrang as a cover for their search for Meteorium. United Peace Foundation operative Rod Stanton (Russell Hayden) arrives in Pendrang soon after having trailed Hazarias there with a twofold mission, prove London is really Hazarias and find out what he is looking for in Pendrang. Cast
ProductionLionel Atwill was ill and died of lung cancer and pneumonia during the filming of this serial. Atwill had been cast as the mastermind villain, Sir Eric Hazarias, a foreign spy chief. Universal did not want to throw out the footage already filmed of their name star, so they chose to adapt the serial. First, another villain, Malborn, (played by John Mylong), who was originally just a servant of Sir Eric, was reworked to be the boss of Atwill's character and took over most of the active villain requirements of the film. Secondly, a double of Atwill was used to complete additional scenes involving the character Hazarias, seen either wearing a disguise or filmed from behind or at a distance. Thirdly, the script was rewritten so that the character Malborn dominated the first several episodes, with only the disguised Hazarias being seen, while the footage filmed with Atwill as Hazarias, often speaking only a few lines and standing around the set of his cave hideout (because he had been too ill to do much more), was shifted to the last half of the serial and supplemented by lengthy shots of his henchmen describing various of their activities to him.
