famous American athlete, is beautiful American sweetheart Dale Arden and
(00:57):
doctor Zarkoff, a great scientists, left the Earth on a
rocket ship. They crashed on the planet Mongol and were
captured by Ming, the Merciless, the cruel Emperor of Mongol,
who commanded Dale Arden to marry him, an order that
Flash be killed. But Flash escaped through the help of
Emperor Ming's beautiful daughter Ara, who fell deeply in love
with him and proposed marriage. This Flash refused, saying he
(01:20):
loved Dale Arden. Flash then met soon the powerful, huge
bearded Prince of the Lionmen and Prince Baron, a former
member of Emperor Ming's court. Joined by doctor Zarkov, these
four friends plotted to overthrow the government of Emperor Ming
and rescue Dale Arden. They were almost successful, but at
the last moment, with victory practically within their grasp, were
(01:43):
recaptured by Emperor Ming's soldiers, and the four friends, together
with Dale Arden, were condemned to a fate far worse
than death. Securely bound, they were placed on a gyro
ship and sent as slaves to the prison city of Hawkmen.
