Don Winslow of the Navy (1942)

Lt. Com. Frank V. Martinek’s widely circulated comic strip Don Winslow of the Navy was brought to the screen in this action-packed film. The villain of the piece is The Scorpion, who has been sabotaging American military forces in the Pacific. Assigned to put an end to the Scorpion’s activities, Navy intelligence operative Don Winslow heads to the remote island of Tongita. Here he must deal with a gang of clever Fifth Columnists, led by Menlin , who are in cahoots with the head bad guy. Fortunately, Winslow is able to rely upon the courage and loyalty of his sidekick Red Pennington  and nurses Misty  and Mercedes.
