{"product_id":"vanishing-legion","title":"Vanishing Legion","description":"Fists fly as the mysterious Vanishing Legion, led by a shadowy villain known only as The Voice (Boris Karloff), sabotages an oil-drilling site. Digging for the truth is rigger Happy Cardigan (Harry Carey), whose investigation of the Legion's activities is complicated by his efforts to help young Jimmie Williams (Frankie Darro). Jimmie's father, Jed, was framed for murder by the same marauding gang that Cardigan is after. At the center of this tangled web is beautiful oil well owner, Caroline Hall (Edwina Booth). Cardigan is attracted to Caroline but suspects she may be working for the very group launching raids on her property. When the Voice orders the young woman's death, Cardigan risks his own neck in his struggle to uncover the real murderer and save Caroline from the Vanishing Legion.\u003cp\u003eIn the grand tradition of Hollywood serials, \u003ci\u003eThe Vanishing Legion\u003c\/i\u003e overflows with cliffhanging chapter endings involving out-of-control trucks, stampeding horses, falls from the tops of oil rigs, and wild and wooly fistfights.
