I confess. Back in the mid-1950s, I was a member of the Secret Squadron and I never missed an episode of Captain Midnight. Looking at this episode from 1955, one has to laugh at the casual handling of 'fissionable material' and the overall mindless simplicity.
I also see where I first glimpsed Bucky Fuller's geodesic dome concept--part of the set only a year after its invention.
