Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Speed Gibson Of The International Secret Police "2 Episodes" (2-20-37) and (2-27-37)


"Splinters Into Custody" (08) 1937-02-20 and "Splinters Get Away" (09) 1937-02-27



The thrilling adventures of Speed Gibson follows the exploits of another flying “ace”. This popular character held the listeners attention with his tracking down of international crime operatives. Speed and his pals are on the trail of a super-gang and its dreaded leader "The Octopus." The enemy of society had his tentacles in crime everywhere, and without the International Secret Police, the world would be his oyster. The fifteen-minute episode is action-packed! Strangely, the boy who played Speed is not known, says the authoritative "On the Air, The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio," Speed's pal is Barney Dunlap, acted by John Gibson. Barney's OK, but no match for the cunning of the Octopus and his gang.
