Flash Gordon

When the planet Mongo threatens to collide with Earth, athlete Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe) and pretty damsel Dale Arden (Jean Rogers) join scientist Dr. Alexis Zarkov (Frank Shannon) on a trip to the strange planet. When they arrive on Mongo, they meet the planet's malevolent emperor, Ming the Merciless (Charles Middleton), who is intent on destroying Earth. Ming's daughter, Princess Aura (Priscilla Lawson), on the other hand, grows rather fond of the hunky Flash.
