the tournament of Death, in which all of the contestants
but one will meet death, and Flash Gordon is going

The last contestants line up. Two by two, they mount
the sky rope stretched over a flaming pool to joust
with sword, and one after another they are eliminated by death. Finally,
only Flash Gordon and the Math Champion are left. Flash
loses his balance and falls down toward the flaming pool,
but his hands catch hold of the rope and he
hangs on. The mass Champion, brought off balance, also falls

(12:20):
but saved himself by grasping Flash Gordon's leg. His mask
falls off, revealing Prince Baron. The crowd demands that both
men shall live, and they are brought before bolts and
