Starring: Lee Powell, Bruce Bennett, Eleanor Stewart.
In the late 1930s, U. S. Marines Tom Grayson (Lee Powell) and Frank Corby (Herman Brix) are the sole survivors of an attack by a strange electrified torpedo on a fort in China. Soon after, a Chinese consul secretly tells them about a scientific mastermind known as The Lightening, who's attempting world domination by using the mysterious weapon. When the consul is killed, Tom and Frank race to unearth a plot that includes attacks on naval ships and steel factories and a stash of stolen gold.

The hook of the story is that, in a reversal of the common serial "Masked Mystery Villain" stock character, the audience doesn't know who the hero is until the final reel - all the audience is told is that The Masked Marvel is one of a group of special investigators (the same plotline is used in the Republic serial The Lone Ranger).

The Crimson Ghost (1946) is a Republic film serial directed by Fred C. Brannon and William Witney with Charles Quigley and Linda Stirling playing the leads.

The serial was re-released as a six-episode television series in the 1950s and as a television film called Cyclotrode "X" in 1966.
