The Green Archer 

1940 - 15 Chapters

It was based on Edgar Wallace's 1923 novel The Green Archer, which 
had previously been adapted into the silent serial of the same name in 
1925 by Pathé Exchange.



Plot

The struggle over the Bellamy estate ends with Michael Bellamy accused 
of murder and killed on the way to prison, while his brother, Abel Bellamy, 
takes control of the estate for his own nefarious plans. Bellamy is using Garr 
Castle as a base for his jewelry-theft ring, and he kidnaps his brother's wife 
to keep things quiet. Insurance investigator Spike Holland enters the case, 
and Bellamy continually dispatches his resident gang to do away with him. 
Detective Thompson, representing the law, is seldom of any help. Meanwhile, 
the estate's fabled "Green Archer", a masked, leotard-clad marksman, steals 
silently through Garr Castle and the estate grounds, confounding the enemy forces.
