A group of Nazis in Casablanca have a member Baron von Rommler impersonate the local sultan Abou Ben Ali and try in various ways to stop the allied powers from dominating North Africa. Helping them are various comrades disguised as Arabs, particularly one called Wolfe who does most of the legwork. Against them are ace American agent Rex Bennett, lively reporter Janet Blake and doughty Captain Pierre LaSalle of the French Diplomatic Headquarters.
It's an entertaining fast moving serial with good acting, detailed sets, swift chases in cars and on horses and lots and lots of fighting. Fighting where furniture is broken, guns are fired, swords are wielded and almost anything is used a a weapon. You have to admire the way the actors and stunt people engage enthusiastically with each other in conflict. They must have received many bruises if not worse. Duke Green for example played 'Sailor on Deck', 'Ambusher', 'Rama', 'Fezal', 'Karl', 'Sheik's Guard', 'Enemy Bushwacker', and 'Lobby Heavy'. He must have been punch drunk.
This was filmed before 3D film was invented but it would have made a good one as many times objects and fist and bodies are thrown directly at the camera to startling effect. It is well directed by Spencer Bennet and expertly written by six old serial hands.
