Burn 'em Up Barnes to the rescue (again and again and again)
Jack Mulhall plays race driver Burn 'em Up Barnes in this 12 episode serial from 1934. The plot here is relatively simple. Marjorie Temple (Lola Lane) owns a bus line and what she thinks is a worthless plot of land. But rich oil speculators know the land is actually worth millions and they want to put her out of business. This means Burn 'em Up Barnes gets to come to her rescue her from fiery crashes, explosions and other perils. Barnes pretty much gets to race in everything from cars to speedboats in this win. This is certainly more than a representative example of the serial format, especially if you remember it is geared for the Saturday morning pre-teen crowd at the local movie house. Look for Jason Robards, Sr. as Lyman Warren in case you have never seen the father of the Oscar winning actor Jason Robards, Jr. "Burn 'em Up Barnes" was also released under the same title and in the same year as a 68-minute feature version of the serial, which would make for a pretty lean version of this 240-minute serial.
