As a matter of fact, Roy always referred to this serial as "The Jerk in Tights from Boyle Heights", not Jackson Heights.

Thank you for the correction. Don't know how I came up with Jackson Heights. Barcroft also appeared as Captain Mephisto in Manhunt on Mystery Island. There was a portrait of him in costume which hung in some of the scenes. I believe the studio gave it to Barcroft when the serial finished.
