Seeders have the complete download. 0 downloading · 0 completed downloads.

Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.

First download? Start here
  1. Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
  2. Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
  3. Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
  4. Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Download not starting?
  • If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
  • If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
  • Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
  • A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.

You do not need an account to download.

The Feature

A mad scientist in a jungle fortress is causing worldwide natural disasters with a magnetic ray, from a laboratory devoted to turning captive Africans into giant enslaved brutes. That second part is not incidental color — the racial politics here are ugly even by 1935's standards, and worth naming rather than quietly skipping past. Taken as pure delirium it is the most deranged thing in the collection: lightning arcs, rubber caverns, and William "Stage" Boyd devouring the scenery whole.

Print Report

Chosen print (2026-08-23): Archive.org item PhotosbyHaroldTheLostCity12ChaptersCombined — 9.05 GB MPEG · 640x480 · 225.3 min.

All twelve chapters combined into a single file. The uploader states that redundant credits and recaps were trimmed between chapters, which accounts for the 225 minutes against a 232-minute listing — a serial's runtime always depends on how much recap footage a print retains. Worth confirming at the eye-pass that the trimming took only recaps and no story.

No chapter-set candidate was found for this serial, so unlike The Phantom Empire and Radar Men from the Moon it ships as one file rather than twelve. At 5.4 Mbps it is also a markedly higher bitrate than the chapter sets those two ship at.

Watch-through done (2026-08-25): all twelve chapter cards run in order in the combined file, and the trimming between them takes only recaps.

Public Domain

Why It's Free

Public domain in the United States by non-renewal. Published 1935 under the 1909 Act, which required a renewal registration in the 28th year; the scanned Catalog of Copyright Entries motion-picture volumes for 1962–64 contain no renewal of this film (checked 2026-08-17 against the Archive.org scans — method, matches and limits recorded in our verification notes). The check treats OCR absence as strong evidence corroborating the decades-long PD distribution consensus, not as sole proof; final sign-off re-reads the window at torrent-publish time.
