## Description

Jerry Sheehan, along with Sir James Blake and his niece Joan, have invented a "death ray" that can be used to threaten aggressive nations with annihilation if they refuse to convert to the path of non-violence. Sir James trusts that his machine can end war and plans to make a gift of the technology to the League of Nations. But before world peace can be achieved, the claw-handed criminal mastermind known as "The Scorpion" sends his gang of conspirators to steal the deadly device. The complete fifteen chapter serial of Blake of Scotland Yard is an engrossing thriller with an inventive plot and plenty of action-packed violence. Character actor Ralph Byrd is best remembered for portraying comic-strip cop Dick Tracy in seven films in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as an early 1950s TV series. Co-star Joan Barclay got her film career off to a flying start at the tender age of 12, appearing in the 1927 silent classic, The Gaucho , with Douglas Fairbanks, and followed it up with a long career in B-movies and serials.

Review: Blake of scotland yard - I realize it's a very old serial and probably hasn't been taken very good care of but the picture can be very shaky and no audio in some places. This should have been in the ad

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good print, but fairly dire "Feature" edition from VCI
*by S***; on September 24, 2020*

While I no longer find it on VCI's website, their "Vault Classics" edition of the feature version of the serial, "Blake of Scotland Yard" has far better video quality than the one issued years ago by Alpha. But the main problem remains the film itself, cut down to 70 minutes from the 15 chapter serial produced by Sam Katzman's Victory pictures in 1937. The serial involves a "Death Ray" that can destroy objects, such as ships, several hundred miles away, being developed by Jerry Sheehan (Ralph Byrd) and Hope Mason (Joan Barclay), financed by Hope's uncle, Sir James Blake (Herbert Rawlinson), former Scotland Yard inspector. The device, if made available to all through the League of Nations, would make warfare obsolete. But munitions dealer, Count Basil Segaloff (William Farrel) tries to prevent it from reaching Geneva, and works with a mysterious figure in traditional serial-movie arch-villain black cloak and hat, masked, and with a large claw for a hand, known as "The Lobster"...oops, sorry, "The Scorpion," who with his gang steals the machine, and for 15 mind-numbing chapters there is a lot of chasing about, disguises, fist fights and related perils until the gang is captured and the identity of "The Scorpion" revealed. Unfortunately the "feature" has so little of the original that it is impossible to follow the plot for those who haven't seen the WHOLE thing. The opening chapter, where the "Death Ray" is demonstrated is fairly complete and makes some sense, but then it is off to Paris, in a cafe where Count Segaloff is to have some dealings with The Scorpion, but exactly what happens isn't quite clear. Then it all jumps back to London, a dozen chapters later, in a rooming house where after a fight most of the gang is rounded up, followed by another jump to the unmasking of The Scorpion. So about the best that can be said for this release, on a single DVD-R, is that the transfer is fairly good. . The print isn't ideal, but the gray scale and sharpness are adequate, and there are only a couple minor splices, not interrupting the dialogue. Some scenes "flicker" possibly due to film processing issues, and the outdoor scenes, when not intentionally foggy, show a lot of film grain. But detail, even in the darker scenes isn't lost, and the sound is at least clear enough to understand the dialogue, if the pitch wavers a bit in the music. Worth a 3-star "OK" and maybe more for those wanting to see things not obvious in releases of the entire serial.
