King of the Rocket Men
''King of the Rocket Men'' is a 1949 12-chapter black-and-white Republic movie serial,〔Weiss and Goodgold 1973, p. 291.〕 produced by Franklin Adreon, directed Fred C. Brannon, and starring Tristram Coffin, Mae Clarke, Don Haggerty, House Peters, Jr., James Craven, and I. Stanford Jolley.
This serial is notable for introducing the character Rocket Man, who would later appear with different character identities in Republic's rocket-powered hero serials that followed: ''Radar Men from the Moon'' (1952), ''Zombies of the Stratosphere'' (1952), and ''Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe'' (1953), the latter syndicated to television in 1955 under the same title but as a dozen 25-minute episodes, each containing new space footage and title music.〔Weaver, Tom and Paul Parla, "Call Him Commando Cody," ''Comics Scene'', #20, August 1991, Starlog Communications International, Inc., pp. 29-30 (interview with George D. Wallace).〕
==Plot==
An evil genius of unknown identity, calling himself "Dr. Vulcan" (heard only as a voice and seen as a shadow on a brightly lit wall), plots to conquer the world, but first needs to eliminate, one by one, the members of the Science Associates, an organization of America's greatest scientists. After narrowly escaping an attempt on his life by Vulcan, one member of Science Associates, Dr. Millard (James Craven) goes into hiding and then outfits another member, Jeff King (Tristram Coffin) with an advanced, sonic-powered rocket backpack and jacket, a bullet-shaped, aerodynamic helmet, and raygun they had been working on together.
Using the flying jacket and helmet and other inventions provided by Dr. Millard and aided by magazine reporter and photographer Glenda Thomas (Mae Clarke), Jeff King, as Rocket Man, battles Dr. Vulcan and his henchmen through a dozen action-packed Republic chapters. Eventually, Vulcan steals Millard's most dangerous invention, a Sonic Decimator, and uses it to flood, then destroy both New York City and the rest of Manhattan Island before finally being unmasked and brought to justice by Jeff King in his Rocket Man persona.
