Secret Agent X-9

Based on the comic strip by artist Alex Raymond and writer Dashiell Hammett. International agents join forces to stop the Nazis from acquiring the formula for synthetic fuel. Lloyd Bridges stars as agent X-9 in this action packed serial. This was the last comic strip inspired serial released by Universal and the second Secret Agent X-9 film based on the same comic strip by Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond. The plot line is different from the 1937 version however the characters are similar.

A follow-up of sorts to the 1937 movie of the same name, this time out SECRET AGENT X-9 is played by Lloyd Bridges. Set on an island off the coast of China, Secret Agent X-9 is sent to circumvent a devious plot which involves a Japanese agent coming to America to obtain the secret formula for creating aviation fuel. Disguised as an American scientist, the Japanese agent faces unforeseen problems when X-9 appears on the scene. Some great scenes of subterfuge and tension play out as the film rockets towards its conclusion, providing plenty of entertainment for fans of espionage and skullduggery.
