One of the Ghost's less savory ambitions is to wipe out New York City with a gigantic tidal wave. Can Dick Tracy save the Big Apple from being swallowed up by the sea? Don't miss a single thrilling minute!

VCI Entertainment and Republic Pictures present based on Chester Gould's comic strip creation..."DICK TRACY VS CRIME INC" (27 December 1941) (263 mins) (Glorious Black & White) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Dick Tracy is a long running comic strip featuring a popular and familiar character in American pop culture --- Dick Tracy is a hard-hitting, fast-shooting, and supremely intelligent police detective who has matched wits with a variety of often grotesquely ugly villains --- Created by cartoonist Chester Gould in 1931, the strip made its debut appearance on October 4, 1931, distributed by the Chicago Tribune Syndicate --- Gould wrote and drew the strip until 1977 --- Chester Gould retired from comics in 1977; his last Dick Tracy strip appeared in print on Sunday, December 25 of that year --- The following Monday, Dick Tracy was taken over by Max Allan Collins and longtime Gould assistant Rick Fletcher --- Gould's name remained in the byline for a few years after his retirement as a story consultant -- (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

With an introduction by Max Allan Collins (author of Dick Tracy comic strip 1977-1993) before the first chapter --- Story line and plot, with 15 Chapters of vintage serial episodes loaded with action sequences --- Our story opens as Dick Tracy (Byrd) and his agents must battle a villain known only as "The Ghost" --- Can this fiend make himself invisible --- How can you fight something you can't see, or can we --- This looks like the best serial in the Dick Tracy series, as our favorite detective must come up to the plate and hit a homerun --- Which one of the members of the city crime council is "The Ghost" --- The fight scenes are something to behold, pure magic --- Why is this villain so bent on destroying and raising havoc during these wonderful episodes, wish they would never end --- But see for yourself (can we see the Ghost), as Tracy outwits this evil man and his diabolical plans to bring an end to Dick Tracy and Republic Pictures --- And how about the Republic stunt team with Bud Wolfe (stunt double for Ralph Byrd), David Sharpe, Duke Taylor, Ken Terrell ....meanwhile back to our Republic Serial which is always good till the last drop and this serial is no exception.
