| William Henry and Susan Morrow |
A group of foreign agents in Canada want to build bases from which they can launch rockets to destroy key American cites. Sgt. Don Roberts (William Henry of Uranium Boom) is unaware of this dastardly plot but wonders why some desperadoes are trying so hard to keep homesteaders from settling in a certain area. Don and reporter Kay Conway (Susan Morrow of Cat-Women of the Moon) face avalanches, overturned boards with spikes in them, trucks going over cliffs, cracking ice floes, and exploding boats before they figure out what's going on, and that a folksy, simple-minded tradesman in town is secretly a sinister agent named Marlof (Arthur Space of The Crimson Key). There are also appearances by Harry Lauter, Pierre Watkin, Hank Patterson, and Tom Steele, not to mention a couple of cute, mischievous bear cubs.
Verdict: Acceptable if unspectacular cliffhanger serial. **3/4.
