Trip to Mars 1938
Plot Summary
A
deadly beam from space is threatening the Earth. Believing that the beam
emanates from
Mongo, Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe), Doctor Zarkov (Frank
Shannon), Dale Arden (Jean Rogers) and stowaway reporter, Happy Hapgood
(Donald Kerr), leave Earth in a spaceship to combat the attack, but find that
the beam is coming from Mars. Landing on Mars, the team discovers that the
wicked Queen Azura (Beatrice Roberts) has formed a partnership with Ming the
Merciless (Charles Middleton), who plans to destroy the Earth by extracting
all of its nitrogen. Azura is planning a war against the Clay People, with
whom the Earth people form an alliance. Azura keeps her people in subjection
by using magic powers bestowed by a white sapphire. Flash and his friends must
battle the fierce Forest People to obtain the black sapphire which can
neutralise Azura’s powers, and find a way to destroy Ming’s nitron lamp
before the Earth is doomed.
