Captain Tornado

Captain Tornado appeared to be a sea captain who led Professor Bordani and his 18-year old daughter, Jane, on a trip into space, aboard Bordani’s experimental spacecraft. They initially set out for Jupiter but, due to a miscalculation, ended up on another strange, jungle-covered planet inhabited by giant insects, the elfish yellow-skinned Barrangee, the pale four-armed and blue haired Etherians, and the red-skinned Rodongees. The three Earthlings found themselves caught up in the struggles between the races, generally favoring the peaceful Barrangee. Captain Tornado was a good fighter and carried conventional Earth weapons and equipment, including a knife, revolver, and hunting rifle.
