Movie Review: "The King of Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ Mystery Mountain (1934)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment and Mascot Pictures present "Mystery Mountain" (1934) (Dolby digitally remastered), with 12 Chapters of vintage serial episodes jam packed with hard riding and thrilling action sequences and stunts that will keep you on the edge of your seat...story opens with Ken Williams (Ken Maynard) working undercover to discover the real identity of the mysterious and stop at nothing villain known as "The Rattler"....is Jane Corwin (Verna Hillie) in danger of losing her transportation company along with the railroads right of way through Mystery Mountain...will the Rattler (Menace of the Mountain) be able to keep those disguises intact throwing off our hero and the crew of railroad workers...is there a cave where the rattler hides with his gang protecting the secret gold that lie beneath the mountain...has Breezy (Syd Saylor) snapped a picture of the Rattler which will expose his true identity, can Ken Williams impersonate the Rattler and fool his men and gain the information to break this serial wide open...can this Mascot Serial keep the action, daring stunt-work and an exciting cliffhanger going the entire serial....don't leave the theater until the final chapter is over and done with "The Judgement of Tarzan"....just remember double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense hitting the bull's eye with excitement everytime...don't miss a single spine thrilling episode..return next week to this local theater for another episode of action and adventure that will keep you thrilled until the next chapter.
