1938: Somewhere in the United States:
"One of Germany's greatest obstacles to world domination is the industrial might of the United States. We need billions to subdue that might. And now we have the means of getting them -- the Orotron. With this machine we can produce unlimited gold." -- So speaks a mysterious voice broadcast to the men gathered around a table, each of whom has been admitted to the secret circle by means of a metal key. The voice belongs to an unseen Nazi ringleader known only as "The Master Key".
When by means of a fictionalized plane crash the Nazi spy ring kidnaps the Orotron's inventor Professor Henderson, electronics expert Tom Brant, police detective Jack Ryan and reporter Janet Lowe must seek out the Nazis' secret cavernous hideout and destroy the Master Key to prevent the valuable invention from falling into enemy hands.
This is not a copy of a video tape, which would look just like a video tape, like you get from so many other sellers on the internet. This is not a product of a DVD recorder. This is a for real, honest, all digital transfer of film to DVD done on a Rank/Cintel C-Reality Film Scanner. Image stabilization, grain reduction and scratch reduction techniques were used. The digital film transfer was enhanced using Digital Vision's DVR-1000 Noise Reducer and Pogle Platinum color-correction software to ensure overall black and white tonality. The film was cleaned prior to being transferred. The soundtrack was restored and noise reduced. The result is the best quality copy of this serial that has ever been made available!
Presented in "serial noir" black and white, on 2 DVDs with illustrated menus, chapter selection buttons, and scene markers within chapters.
