When enemy agents attack a British rocket planned for a trip to Venus, the son and daughter of the project leader foil their attempt, but end up launched aboard the rocket themselves.
A fun short (8-chapter) British movie serial, made by that nation's Children Foundation, takes us into outer space, and to the planet Venus, whose residents are planning to foil a visit from the Earth. Because this was made for kids, it's largely up to a couple of the younger set (Harper & Stewart) to save the day and foil the villains among the Venusian government, played by familiar character actors George Pastell and Ferdy Mayne. There's ray guns, robots, poison gas, and secret tunnels, and I found it all very enjoyable, with a dynamic action theme from composer Eric Rogers, and crisp photography by Reginald Wyer.
