"The False Signal" is the third of 15 chapters comprising Dick Tracy's G-Men, a serial produced in 1939 and released in 15 minute cliffhanger style increments.
Dick Tracy escapes accidental execution by his own men just in time and he finds a lighthouse man named "Cappy" locked away. Zarnoff's men disable a lighthouse keeping ships safe from Suicide Reef and then shine a false light from a barge to lure Latin American President Mendoza's yacht into the deadly rocks. Tracy, Steve and another agent climb on board the barge and get in a gunfight. Tracy climbs a rope for the light on top of the mast but his rope is cut and begins to fall.
