Jungle Raiders

First Chapter, "Mystery of the Lost Tribe." John Elliott, a doctor, accompanied by his assistant, Jack Ingram, arrives at Charles King's trading post seeking both his missing doctor friend, Bud Buster, held a prisoner by King and his henchmen, and the source of a fungus from which a wonderful new medicine can be made. King succeeds in outfitting them and getting them off toward the 'hidden city' occupied by the lost tribe of Aztecs without arousing too many suspicions. Janet Shaw, the doctor's daughter, is brought to the trading post by Veda Ann Borg, who is in cahoots with King, and is also made prisoner, but escapes. Kane Richmond, Elliott's son, and his pal, Eddie Quillan, motoring across the country, rescue Shaw from a lion, but, later, their machine goes off the road out of control. Meanwhile, Elliott and Ingram have been captured by the Aztecs, and prepared for sacrifice, mainly at the insistence of princess Carol Hughes, but save themselves from this fate when they manage to effect a cure upon the old Chief, Nick Thompson. This is more credulous than other recent serials, and holds interest. There is, of course, plenty of action, and the way it starts off it holds promise of being okay.
