Terry And The Pirates Serial 1940 Columbia IMBD 0033139
This is loosely based on Milton Caniff's Amazing comic strip. It would fall under the jungle/adventure genre. While The Dragon Lady Character is much less interesting and ruthless (than the Comic) Sheila D'Arcy certainly looks the part. In fact most the actors are well cast. While the directing is certainly going for some over the top drama. What baffles me is with all the successful and popular stories created by Caniff why none of them were used.

Amazon Description "Of all the early radio shows adopted from the classic newspaper comic pages in the '30s and '40s, none was more intriguing or exciting than the action-packed tales of Terry and the Pirates. Columbia Pictures brought Terry and the Pirates to the screen in fifteen thrill-packed episodes in 1940 featuring an excellent cast of screen favorites. Directed in a style that combined action and considerable comedy, director James W. Horne led the cast in an adventure that centered around the discovery of a vast hidden treasure. Along the treacherous 15-episode route we have contacts with mysterious "Tiger Men," a savage gorilla, exploding ammunition sheds and countless other thrills that totally captivated Saturday matinee audiences week after week"
