Charlie Dennis, a young gas station attendant and amateur radio operator, notifies Richard Wentworth (Warren Hull) of strange messages being transmitted on the "hertzen band" frequency. When the Octopus transmits a radio message threatening to plunge the city into darkness if his demands are not met, Wentworth uses his knowledge of radio to track the signal to its source. But the Octopus is also holding his friends prisoner! If the Spider doesn't hurry, they will all die! (1938 - Columbia Pictures)
