Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the fifth chapter of Adventures of Captain Marvel. This time, they continue with the sixth chapter.
Adventures of Captain Marvel: “Chapter Six: Lens of Death” - 16:46 (Available on Tubi.)
Captain Marvel jumps up through a convenient hole in the mine ceiling and gets out.
The Scorpion calls into the expedition meeting and plays a pre-recorded message saying he has all of the lenses but one.
As everyone rushes to see if their lens has been stolen, they are followed by The Scorpion or Barnett and his men to see where they hid the lenses. Two of them in particular follow Professor Bently (Harry J. Worth) to his home. They break in and knock Bentley out, alerting Bentley’s butler Hawks (Ken Terrell).

The butler gets into an epic fight with the two men and in the process completely destroys the room.
The henchmen eventually get away with the lens, but Captain Marvel chases them down, gets it back, and returns it to the butler.
Meanwhile, the Scorpion has Professor Fisher (George Lynn) at gunpoint and makes him reveal his lens, which is behind an electrically booby-trapped wall panel.
Whitey shows up and there’s a shootout in which Fisher is killed and Whitey is knocked out.
Captain Marvel arrives, tries to grab the lens, and electrocutes himself. CLIFFHANGER!
Should you watch it, though?: Yes! You gotta love a good butler fight.
