Flash Gordon - The Peril from Planet Mongo Summary Flash Gordon, Dale Arden And Dr. Zarkov Return To Mongo On A Special Mission At The Request Of Barin, Their Friend From Arboria. His Kingdom Is Being Threatened By Emperor Ming's Heat Projectiles. Once On Mongo, Flash Is Able To Extinguish The Heat Projectiles By Using One Of Dr. Zarkov's Contra-thermal Units. But Ming The Merciless Has Plans Far More Devastating For Arboria And Even Threatens To Send A Rocketship Full Of Explosives To Earth. Soon Flash Is Faced With Trying To Save Both Arboria And Earth! It Looks Like It's Curtains For All Decent Humans Everywhere. Climb Aboard And Join Flash, Dale And Dr. Zarkov In The Struggle To Preserve Justice And Freedom In Our Universe! This Is A Feature-length Edited Version Of Chapters 7-12 Of The 1940 Serial "flash Gordon Conquers The Universe."

A strange purple dust is killing off the population of Earth, leaving a telltale purple smudge on the foreheads of its victims! Together, Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Dr. Zarkov trace the plague to the planet Mongo and archfiend Ming the Merciless! There's hope for the Earth, though, when the intrepid team discovers Polarite, the antidote to the pandemic, found only in the barren, cold reaches of Frigia. This collection of Flash Gordon serials finds Buster Crabbe teamed up with a different Dale Arden, but facing the usual array of strange creatures and spellbinding thrills. It's worth noting that Mongo looks a lot like Sherwood Forest, with its natives toting bows and arrows and wearing Robin Hood outfits. These installments of the series are unusually inventive, such as the scenes when Flash and company travel to the frozen wastelands of Frigia. The encounters with the Rock People and the "walking bombs" are also rather bizarre, even by today's standards. There's even a topical note to the story line, with a madman bent on genocide; the real-life people of Earth would face just such a threat a few short years later. It's the slam-bang pace and two-fisted action of Flash Gordon's adventures that kept audiences spellbound in the '30s, though, and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe certainly gave them their money's worth. --Jerry Renshaw
