Tuesday, January 31 - Dick Tracy - Episodes 1 & 2

Dick Tracy (1937)

Episode 1: The Spider Strikes

In the opening chapter we are introduced to the Lame One (the Spider) and Dick Tracy's team as he investigates one of the mastermind's murders. Dick's brother Gordon is captured and brainwashed by The Dr. Moloch and Gordon then attacks the new San Francisco Bay Bridge with a sonic weapon mounted on a flying wing aircraft. Tracy races to save the bridge and may be crushed by an eminent collapse.

Episode 2: The Bridge of Terror

In this second chapter, Tracy tracks the Flying Wing to a Steam Power Plant which he investigates with partner Steve. During a chase and shootout through the plant, Tracy destroys the sonic weapon before he and Steve escape on a Biplane. Gunfire from below cripples the plane, which crashes into a railroad bridge and tumbles to the ground on fire.
