King Of The Rocket Men | comment |
Someone is killing the top scientists in the country in suspicious accidents. Believing that the culprit is a member of their own organization Science Associates, Professor Millard fakes his death and enlists the help of fellow scientist Jeff King, equipping him with a Jet Pack he's just invented. Together they seek to foil the plans of the mysterious Dr. Vulcan, and establish his identity before he unleashes a terrible fate on New York City.This twelve-chapter Film Serial was released by Republic Pictures on June 8, 1949. It's the first of the so-called "Rocket Man" film serials, though this is the only one where the term is used to refer to the hero. For more such adventures see Radar Men from the Moon, Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe and Zombies Of The Stratosphere, not to mention the homage comic The Rocketeer and its 1991 film adaptation. | |

King Of The Rocket Men / int_17a969de | comment |
In the first chapter the aerial torpedo (which for some reason is being transported fully fueled on a launching ramp) gets accidently launched towards a nearby city. Rocket Man chases after it and manages to destroy the Misguided Missile with his Ray Gun, but the explosion knocks him out and the chapter ends with him falling to his death! To Be Continued next week in Chapter 2: PLUNGING DEATH! He recovers in time to stabilize his flight. | |

Frame-Up | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: King is holding Derkin at gunpoint when a hand wearing a distinctive signet ring reaches through the door and turns off the lights, enabling Derkin to escape. The same ring is worn by Professor Conway, who doesn't help his case by drawing a gun and fleeing. However he's just a patsy for Dr. Vulcan who's a member of the same fraternity club, hence the ring. Dr. Vulcan has convinced Conway that King is desperate for a scapegoat and sends him to seek shelter with Derkin, who then forces Conway to write out a false confession. Rocket Man turns up to rescue him, but Derkin throws a knife into Conway's back just as he's about to reveal who his false friend is. | |

A police dragnet is set up to catch Derkin after he steals the Sonic Decimator, with a clear description of the truck and license plate number he's using. They escape just by switching vehicles and Rocket Man locates the truck first anyway—Derkin is so sure of this happening he sets up a Booby Trap to take Rocket Man down for good. | |

Super Window Jump The villains kidnap Burt as The Bait and set up a Death Ray covering the door. Rocket Man flies through the window instead (they really should have seen that coming, as he's already entered via the window previously). Racing against time to stop Dr. Vulcan destroying New York City, Rocket Man smashes through a closed window instead of landing and opening it as usual. | |

Make It Look Like an Accident: In the opening scene, Spinning Newspapers announce the deaths of scientists in plane crashes and automobile accidents, all arranged by remote control by Dr. Vulcan. When Dr. Millard gets suspicious, Dr. Vulcan arranges for his death in a laboratory fire. Fortunately it's later revealed that Jeff King saved Millard off-screen and he's only Faking the Dead. | |

Stock Footage | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: The tidal wave that destroys New York City is from the 1933 disaster film Deluge. Republic Pictures had bought the film rights purely for the purpose of this trope. Rocket Man's launching and flying scenes are reused from earlier episodes. Scenes from this film serial would also be reused in later "Rocketmen" film serials. In The '70s J-Men Forever would Gag Dub scenes from this movie for comic effect. | |

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: Conway is assumed to be Dr. Vulcan after police find his body and a half-written confession, even though he's been stabbed In the Back. Admittedly only the Rocket Man was a witness and the police could have assumed that a co-conspirator murdered him to avoid being named in the confession. | |

Police Are Useless | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Even though Dr. Vulcan is assumed to be committing sabotage or planning to sell his stolen technology to a foreign power, no-one suggests bringing in the FBI. Jeff King gets the police to stay away from an apartment where they think Dr. Vulcan is hiding to avoid tipping him off. The police don't know that King is Rocket Man, so why would they leave it to a civilian scientist to arrest him? A police dragnet is set up to catch Derkin after he steals the Sonic Decimator, with a clear description of the truck and license plate number he's using. They escape just by switching vehicles and Rocket Man locates the truck first anyway—Derkin is so sure of this happening he sets up a Booby Trap to take Rocket Man down for good. The "finest police force in the land" is combing New York City for Dr. Vulcan, who isn't anywhere near the place. To be fair even Jeff King fell for that one. | |

Bluff the Eavesdropper: After finding the hidden bug, King pretends to make a phone call offering to illicitly sell a secret gadget. After hearing this on his bug Vulcan sends Derkin to steal it, not knowing that the gadget is actually a radio location transmitter. Unfortunately Burt and Glenda overhear the phone call from outside the door and assume King is a Detective Mole, nearly ruining the plan when they try to stop the package from being stolen. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The villains steal the Sonic Decimator which can do incalculable damage in the wrong hands, as King notes. Fortunately it's destroyed, but then King goes ahead and builds another one instead of waiting till Dr. Vulcan is caught, which is then successfully stolen. Ostensibly this is so Dr. Vulcan can be lured out of hiding, but why not just fake something up? Derkin is not a scientist and wouldn't know the difference until after he delivered it to his boss. | |

Caps Lock, Num Lock, Missiles Lock: Jeff King has a chest-mounted panel to control the direction and speed of his rocketsuit, but given the restrictive vision of his full-face helmet it's not clear how he could see it, and he hasn't had time to memorize the position of the dials either.

King Of The Rocket Men / int_a19135a6 | comment |
Mind Control: King and Burt think they've caught Dr. Vulcan red-handed stealing the plans for the Sonic Decimator from the safe, but realise their prisoner has been given a hypnotic sedative because he kept mumbling the safe combination as a Madness Mantra. However he's also muttering R.F.D. 48, which they realize was the address where he was supposed to drop off the plans. King takes his place to make the delivery. | |

Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: When Millard gives King his newly invented atomic rocketsuit, he advises him to test it first while keeping low to the ground. Then mooks steal the aerial torpedo that King is supposed to be guarding, stealing the truck and immobilizing King's car, so he has to take the rocket suit out of the boot and go after them. | |

Ray Gun | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_b1f18adb | comment |
Ray Gun Rocket Man uses a ray gun to shoot down the aerial torpedo, but presumably drops it when he's knocked unconscious because we don't see it again until the final chapter when it's used to destroy the Sonic Decimator. The Sonic Decimator invented by Professor Millard, who demonstrates its ability to melt a bar of manganese steel. At full strength it can turn rock to lava and even destroy a city. | |

Enhance Button: Actually used as a plot-point before it became a trope. The villains get hold of a photo negative of the Rocket Man and seek to enlarge it to find out who he is. King realises that they'll attempt to duplicate the negative on a type of fine grain film that's only stored in the Science Associates lab, so their next move will be to steal it. | |

King Of The Rocket Men / int_b55e8979 | comment |
Science Hero: Jeffrey King is the "rocket propulsion expert" of Science Associates, making him literally a rocket scientist. When he suggests that the deaths of the other scientists were not accidental, his colleagues propose that he take charge of the investigation instead of bringing in the authorities or hiring a private investigator. One of Dr. Vulcan's goons scoffs at the idea that he's a threat because "these science types are all brain and no brawn", but when King walks in on them riffling his files, he quickly shows himself adept at Good Old Fisticuffs, sending them packing. | |

The Little Detecto | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_b729794a | comment |
The Little Detecto: Millard says the Sonic Decimator runs on something called thromium, so he needs to build a shield to prevent Dr. Vulcan detecting it (and how about protecting the user from radiation poisoning while you're at it, Professor?). Cut to Dr. Vulcan showing Derkin the "radionic detector" he's created that will detect thromium regardless of how well it's shielded. When our heroes use a similar device to find the stolen Decimator, Dr. Vulcan outsmarts them by hiding on an island well outside the maximum range of the weapon. | |

King Of The Rocket Men / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Some of these are justified, like when a bomb is about to go off and the villains are more interested in running for their lives than finishing off the hero, but on one occasion Derkin captures King and leaves him with a single mook guarding him instead of shooting King dead on the spot. Needless to say, he escapes. | |

Cliffhanger | |
King Of The Rocket Men / int_c6b8d37a | comment |
Cliffhanger: In the first chapter the aerial torpedo (which for some reason is being transported fully fueled on a launching ramp) gets accidently launched towards a nearby city. Rocket Man chases after it and manages to destroy the Misguided Missile with his Ray Gun, but the explosion knocks him out and the chapter ends with him falling to his death! To Be Continued next week in Chapter 2: PLUNGING DEATH! He recovers in time to stabilize his flight. In Chapter 2, Dr. Vulcan takes control of Glenda's car, sending her and the Rocket Man—who's trying to save her—over a cliff where it hits the ground in a fiery explosion. Next week the events are shown Once More With Clarify, and we discover they simply jumped out beforehand. In Chapter 3, Jeff King gets knocked out during the brawl in the chemist's shack, and is left to die by the villains as flames lick at a crate of explosive. Once again our hero recovers in time, fleeing the shack before it explodes. In Chapter 4, Derkin knocks Rocket Man out the window of a high building. Given that he's wearing his rocket suit at the time, it's no spoiler to reveal that he turns it on before he hits the ground. In Chapter 5, Rocket Man struggles to save Glenda who is trapped in an airplane in a fatal dive, only for it to crash into the ground and explode! There's a second parachute which Glenda uses, and King just uses his rocket pack, so they both escape before it hits the ground. In Chapter 6, King is knocked unconscious while driving a truck which then proceeds to smash through a warehouse door, driving off a dock and into the water. King again recovers in time to jump out (but not apply the brakes, for some reason). In Chapter 7, our heroes are trapped in a tunnel when the Sonic Decimator is accidentally activated and starts to melt the rock. We hear Glenda scream as they're enveloped in molten lava! King points out a nearby air shaft they somehow didn't see earlier, and they escape through that. In fairness, its existence was foreshadowed when Derkin goes looking for one to make his own escape. In Chapter 8, Rocket Man is flying to save his friends, but the villains see him approaching and open fire. They miss. In Chapter 9, King is (yes, again) knocked unconscious and left in a truck with a Time Bomb ticking down its final seconds before exploding. He (yes, again) recovers in time to flee to safety. In Chapter 10, King is tricked into entering a cab that turns out to be one of Vulcan's remote-controlled vehicles that's been converted into a Gas Chamber, with the doors only able to be unlocked from the outside. The last thing we see is him collapsing from the Deadly Gas. Fortunately Burt and Glenda saw the fake cab driver jump out of the vehicle and go chasing after him. While Glenda drives alongside, Burt is able to leap over to the cab and bring it to a halt. In Chapter 11, Burt is being held hostage with an electric Death Ray set up to cover the door. Rocket Man enters via the window but gets captured and forced at gunpoint to back into the doorway so the deadly device is activated. Once More, with Clarity again as we see the Bound and Gagged Burt kicked a mook into the path of the Death Ray so he got electrocuted instead. | |

When King and Millard rush outside, they see one of Derkin's men racing off on a motorcycle and chase after him, leaving Derkin free to sneak in and steal the Sonic Decimator. Our heroes aren't happy about falling for one of The Oldest Tricks in the Book, but fortunately there's a tripwire that activates a camera, getting a photo of the license plate of Derkin's truck. | |

Evil Plan: Rather than working for a hostile foreign power, Vulcan is planning to hold New York City to ransom with the Sonic Decimator, demanding a billion dollars (this is in 1949). Why this necessitated killing the other scientists is not mentioned, as this only alerted them to his existence. He could have just waited until Millard had finished building the device and then stolen it. | |
