The Phantom Empire serial was re-edited in two features by Republic in 1940. This was to capitalize on Gene Autry's fame as their major western star. The features were titled "Men with Steel Faces" and "Radio Ranch." These were usually shown in third run theaters as an added feature.
I remember going to the Saturday kids movies in my home-town and following these serialized shows. Each week the hero would find himself in a situation that appeared to be his end, only to go back the next Saturday to find the hero had managed to extricate himself just in the nick of time! LOL
