ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN AFRICA, MIGHTY JUNGLE AVENGER!
15 CHAPTER SERIAL
1955

The Adventures of Captain Africa is a serial starring John Hart. It was originally intended to be a sequel to The Phantom (starring Tom Tyler), but due to problems with the licensing rights to the character, it was re-filmed and re-named into a new story with a new hero who still bears much resemblance to the hero from The Phantom in both appearance and behaviour.

In this 'sequel' we find the mighty jungle avenger and legendary Captain Africa (John Hart) pledging to see that the legitimate Arabian Caliph Hamid (Paul Marion), is restored to the throne which a tyrannical rival has usurped. He is joined in this enterprise by adventurer Ted Arnold (Rick Vallin), wild-animal trapper Nat Coleman (Bud Osborne), and his assistant Omar (Ben Welden) and, to cover all bases, the Arabian princess Rhoda (June Howard). On the way they are beset by guards of the tyrant caliph, desert outlaws, wild beasts of the jungle, and a pair of white adventurers, Boris (Lee Roberts) and Greg (Terry Frost), (doing the work of dozens for budgetary reasons) who have a vested interest in keeping the usurper on the throne.
