Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the eleventh chapter of Hop Harrigan. This time, they continue with the twelfth.
Hop Harrigan: “Chapter Twelve: Lost in the Skies” - 18:39 (Available on Dailymotion)
The plane levels out and is fine.
The henchmen sabotage all of the cars, but Tank sees them do it, so they steal the henchmen’s car and get out of there.
In the plane, Tobor blindfolds Ballard, but doesn’t blindfold Jackie because neither of them realize he’s in the plane.
Tobor and Ballard finally get to Tobor’s lab where Retner says he didn’t answer the radio earlier because he’s been repairing it.
Jackie crawls into a vent that leads to the lab. Tobor and Retner head outside to demonstrate the plane for Ballard. Jackie sneaks in and starts touching stuff.
Jackie spots the radio and calls Gail. They decide that Hop’s gonna fly his plane in the general area while Jackie tries to give them a signal for where to land.
After the demonstration, Retner lands the plane and says someone was using the radio. They rush down to check it out, but Jackie’s already left. They go back outside to find him stealing their plane.
Then he flies the plane into a mountain.
Should you watch it, though? This serial is a lot better when Jackie is the main character. Even though nothing much is happening (as per usual), he keeps you interested because he actually has some personality. Also, he actively jumps into the thick of things in a way that Hop just doesn’t.
Tune in next time for Hop Harrigan: "Chapter Thirteen: No Escape" (Available on Dailymotion.)
