Captain Midnight, starring Dave O'Brien and Dorothy Short.In 1942, the phenomenally popular radio show, Captain Midnight, made the transition to the big screen as a 15 chapter serial. The Captain, a patriotic yet mysterious flying ace, battled super villain Ivan Shark, who had embarked on a campaign of terror, bombing cities across America while he searched for the "secret range finder" that would make him unstoppable. Each episode ended with a cliffhanger, guaranteed to bring the young audience back the following week to see if the Captain escaped his latest peril. Mix yourself a tall glass of Ovaltine (the show's longtime sponsor), hang the blackout curtains, settle back and enjoy the adventures of Captain Midnight.
