UNDERSEA KINGDOM
12 CHAPTER SERIAL
1936

RAY “CRASH” CORRIGAN

Undersea Kingdom (1936) starring Ray "Crash" Corrigan, who started his career playing a gorilla and ended it playing a space monster, was Republic Pictures' answer to the success of Universal's Flash Gordon. We have the stalwart and resourceful American hero, the exotic land in some strange location, and the society that for no readily apparent reason combines super-scientific machines with men on horseback wielding swords.

PLOT:
Crash Corrigan, a recent graduate of Annapolis, and Diana, a go-getting reporter, join Professor Norton for a search for the source of a string of earthquakes, Atlantis. They ride Prof. Norton's rocket submarine searching the sea and little Billy Norton, the professor's son stows away, of course. When they find Atlantis they are caught in a war between the peaceful Atlanteans, (note the white capes), and the war-mongering Atlanteans, (note the black capes).
