The Phantom

The film was made as a serial. It was shown in chapters. All of it together runs over five hours. It comes from the comic strip of the same name. The story takes place in a jungle. A lost city stands at the middle of it. The city is called Zoloz. Two separate parties are trying to reach it. One is led by Professor Davidson. He wants to set up an archaeological dig. The other party is after treasure. There is also an agent of a foreign power, who wants a secret airbase there and stirs the local people against the Phantom. When the Phantom is killed his son takes his place, and B. Reeves Eason made the two hundred and ninety nine minute serial, an American production finished in 1943.
