"Have no fear! Doc Savage is here!
It's the 1930's, and Doc (Ron Ely) and his five pals, try to find Doc's father who has disappeared whilst in the wilds of South America. Someone doesn't obviously doesn't want them there, as they are attacked by 'the green death'.
A campy and comic version of the pulp novel hero. This looks and feels like a spoof of a 30's Saturday matinee serial, but unfortunately doesn't quite pull it off. Five years later Spielburg covered similar ground with Indiana Jones and we all know how successful that was.
