Man with the Steel Whip

Man with the Steel Whip is a 1954 Republic Movie serial. It uses considerable stock footage from previous Republic serials Zorros Black Whip, The Painted Stallion and Daredevils of the West. As with any serial from the 50s, it is not considered to be one of the best examples of the format. It uses the standard plot of an illicit land grab coupled with a new spin on the Zorro story as Republic wished to use old stock footage from their Zorro serials but had since lost the licence for that property.
