"Your days are numbered if you do not return the secret of the jewels to its rightful owners." So reads one of the many warnings in this 10-chapter serial from 1931. The sought-for secret? Radioactive chains that change ordinary sand into fine jewels. An eccentric explorer discovers the chains in India, where he also acquires a puppy marked by The Sign of the Wolf. Years later, in the American West, the finder of the chains and his daughter are endangered by criminals who, for obvious reasons, would like to get their hands on the valuable chains. An equally interested party is a religious sect to whom the chains are sacred. Were it not for two helpful cowboys, the beleaguered Farnums would have little chance against double competition. Like most serials in the early days of talking pictures, there is no music during the climactic cliffhanger endings of the chapters. For those who find the lack of music dull or intolerable, there is an optional sound track with period music added to the cliffhangers and some action scenes. You can choose to hear it or not hear it.
