THE WORLD
ADVENTURERS' CLUB/
MOON OVER AFRICA SERIAL
Audio DVD

17 Hours of wild and thoroughly politically incorrect 1930s tales featuring 45 ripping stories, one complete 26 episode serial (the captivating MOON OVER AFRICA), and 34 rousing songs. The World Adventurers Club stories are purportedly told by intrepid explorer types who visit lost lands to which they are usually not invited, in search of treasure, romance or dramatic adventure stories they can take back to their exclusive club and tell the other fellows about. They encounter lost tribes and escape sacrifice, fall in love with exotic women, and usually generally make a mess of things but escape a major catastrophe with their lives and broken hearts just in time. Short dramatized tales are intermixed with exotic songs performed by "the quartet."

Fully indexed on the back cover and in multiple illustrated menus (containing photos of the locations described in the stories) so any individual story or song can be located and played very easily.

THE GALLOPING GHOST
Featuring Red Grange, Walter Miller, Dorothy Gulliver, Francis X. Bushman Jr., Tom London, and Ernie Adams
Blu-Ray/DVD

New restored state-of-the-art 2K HD film-scanner transfer

Pioneering football star Red Grange plays the college-age version of himself in this action-packed 1931 Mascot serial, one of its best and its biggest moneymakers. When he is framed for having taken a bribe to throw a game and gaslighted by a gang of crooks, he is forced to flee both the members of the criminal gambling ring behind the plot and at the same time attempt to clear his name. Buddy's sister Barbara becomes convinced of Red's innocence and she and a comical taxi driver named Jerry help him in his fight -- in the streets, by car and motorcycle, and by boat -- against the crooks, led by George Elton, (played by versatile serial actor Walter Miller), and the fiendish crooked man who lives in a "haunted house" where sometimes blood drips from the ceiling.

This video release was restored from a new HD digital transfer which was cleaned up in every way, picture, audio, stabilization, and artifact removal. Quality varies a little throughout based on the condition of the original film chapters, but is generally very good. The Blu-ray is formatted the same way as the Squadron's Crimson Ghost Blu-ray (1440 x 1080 with pillar-boxing) and should play in virtually all Blu-Ray players.

CAPTAIN AMERICA
Blu-Ray / DL-DVD UPGRADE

Featuring DICK PURCELL, ADRIAN BOOTH AND LIONEL ATWILL

This is the best available restored transfer of the serial, further restored from the previous edition which has been copied and bootlegged all over. And which was created in 2003 and therefore inferior to this edition. This major upgrade has been further polished and stabilized and shot-by-shot restored for picture and audio, with exposure adjustment, centering of titles, splice and damage removal and includes tons of extras. But before you order you must be sure your Blu-Ray player will play it. Check the lists of players which we know will be compatible with the disk before ordering. It will play on more than those, but those are confirmed by those who have tested the disk.

The Blu-Ray has slightly smoother motion but is the same resolution as the DVD version. The two are very close in quality and many may not notice much difference. Order the DVD if you are not sure you player will play the BD-R.
