In 1952, 17 years before Armstrong and Aldrin confirmed it, the moon was known
as a dead world. Yet in this serial from Republic we see a moon civilization where
they've all learned English getting ready for the day they conquer earth.
The moon's atmosphere which is non-existence is just thin there. Still these folks have mastered atomic weaponry and are going to conquer earth for our air polluted as that is at times.
Fortunately earth has Commando Cody played here by George Wallace with his jet pack flying suit who's got his own rocket ship. He can't fly as fast as Superman, but fast enough to get around.
Perennial western villain Roy Barcroft is Retik, CEO of the moon who tells the Commando of their plans for earth. It was a change of pace for Barcroft from westerns. Looks ridiculous though.
In fact ridiculous is just the word for this claptrap of a film.
