A heavy condensation of the 1936 serial Flash Gordon, with altered musical score.

Released abroad as "Flash Gordon" for countries not interested in booking the serial, and never shown in the USA before 1950, where the title was changed to "Rocket Ship".

Screenplay by Ray Trampe, Norman S. Hall, Wyndham Gittens, Frederick Stephani, George H. Plympton, Basil Dickey, Ella O'Neill
