| Synopsis | Policeman Kip Burland is framed by the Skull, resulting in Kip being discharged from the force in disgrace. He is taken "for a ride" by the Skull's minions and left in the woods to die. He is discovered by an old hermit -- a self-taught scientist and philosopher, who had also been wronged by the Skull. The Hermit ends up turning Kip into a super crime fighter by putting him through rigid training, teaching him science and all knowledge. The Black Hood then confronts the Skull at a masquerade party. The Skull kills a young girl with a poison pill before being unmasked and escaping. |
