Original treatment and complete set of continuities for the 1945 13-episode film serial, including a continuity for the trailer, constituting a virtually complete record. Any original paper relating to serials is extremely uncommon; a complete set such as this rare.

Treatment is 16 pages. Each of the fourteen continuities represent two reels each and run 16-18 pages each. Trailer continuity is 5 pages. All mimeograph duplication, Very Good plus condition, each with two blank leaves at the rear, a few terminal blanks loose from staples, a couple of short edge tears, all leaves supple and clean.
