His search for Meteorium 245, the only practical defense against the atomic bomb, leads him to mythical Pendrang.

“I have a peculiar fondness for bad movies of this era. This is less credible than u0026quot;Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.u0026quot; Lionel Atwill is a lesser villain than Charles Middletonu0026#39;s u0026quot;Ming of Mongo.u0026quot; Still audiences thrilled to Himalayan avalanches and other exotic locales. If you want authentic high adventure, this is not for you. If you want to be a pre-teen waiting for u0026quot;Destry Rides Againu0026quot; to come on the screen while youu0026#39;re wolfing down a 10¢ box of popcorn, youu0026#39;ll love it. Hokeyness personified.”
