The Crimson Ghost 

1946 - 12 Chapters



Plot

A mysterious villain, the eponymous Crimson Ghost, is determined to steal 
a counter atomic device known as Cyclotrode X, which can short out any 
electrical device.

In order to prevent the audience deducing the identity of the Crimson Ghost, 
the studio cast stunt-man Bud Geary to embody the villain while several actors 
supplied the voice, including I. Stanford Jolley. Jolley's role was minor but he 
received fourth-billing and was therefore highly suspect. When The Crimson 
Ghost was unmasked in the 12th and final chapter, he proved to be yet another 
actor entirely, Joseph Forte, who had played a character seemingly above 
suspicion at that point in the serial. Television's future Lone Ranger, Clayton 
Moore, played a rare villainous role in this serial as one of the Crimson Ghost's 
henchmen, a cold-hearted gangster named Ashe.
