The Secret Files of Captain Video - Season 1 (1953)

A flashback to the earliest days of space travel, and a story of the first attempt to reach Jupiter.

A scientist learns that only he is able to help save Earth from the threat of a mysterious alien force from an unknown galaxy.

A metallic object has unexplainably materialized on the floor of the Captain's flagship the 'Galaxy' and is found to be forcing the ship off course and towards the sun.

A new spaceship is tested, and two scientists who have been working on the project suddenly disappear.

The first expedition to Venus learns upon landing that the population has been annihilated by a disease, which the explorers soon learn they have also contracted.

The Galaxy crash-lands in a jungle, and the Captain finds himself being pursued through the undergrowth by three villains. The Captain's resources are limited to only a length of string and a flash lantern.

The Captain and Dr. Cosgrove depart for the Arctic and Prince Ruperts Land to seek out reports of a strange creature in the remote North.

The concept of the Solar Federation is advanced when space tramp Blaster Martin and his associate Cassidy become involved in its formation to advance the cause of peace.

The destination for Blaster Martin and his friends is Mars and a rendezvous with the devious woman governor of Nemos who, with her scientist associate Dr. Muto, are working to gain control beyond their boundaries.

In this final episode of the series, the Video Ranger reminisces over his rise through the ranks of the Rangers and the many tests he underwent, and his eventual duties as second-in-command aboard the 'Galaxy' with the Captain and the other Rangers.
