In Singapore, two naval lieutenants, Tom and Frank, discover the threat of a sinister and dangerous criminal, The Lighting. The arch villain, who has developed a weapon of unheard-of power, threatens humanity. But our two brave young heroes won't let him achieve his nefarious goals as easily as that.
In the face of the enemy (a poverty budget), Witney and English behave just like Tom and Frank, their two heroes: they fight valiantly. And win the battle ! A modest victory in fact (a fair12-episode serial) but a true one given the circumstances. All right, there are some clichés, naiveties, implausibilities and stock shots (but aren't they part of the guilty pleasure we get from such chapter plays) but there are redeeming qualities: a convincing duo of actors (virile without Stallonian excesses), ok fight stunts and a galloping rhythm, whether the scenes are on land (in a car), in the air (in an airship or a flying wing) or under the sea (in a submarine). Plus some clever finds, including the final revelation of the identity of the big bad guy. To be consumed without moderation... provided you have kept your child's soul.
