Chapter 9 The Stratosphere Adventure
Chester Gould's jut-jawed plainclothesman Dick Tracy first came to
the screen in this 15-chapter Republic serial. Ralph Byrd stars as
Tracy, a role which both brought him fame and typecast him for life.
For the purposes of cliffhanging suspense, the Republic writing staff
altered the Tracy "mythos" as set forth in Gould's daily comic strip.
As the serial begins, Dick's brother Gordon (Richard Beach) is being
controlled by a criminal genius known as "The Spider."
