“Hands-Up” was a federal agent or police officer who was assigned to protect the journalist Echo Delane on her trip to South America. While there, she was abducted by the high priest of an Incan tribe who believed Echo was the reincarnation of their long-dead queen. He was able to help her out of a great many perils, at one point having his face altered so that it looked like that of another man, and in the end “Hands-Up” and Echo Delane were married and lived happily ever after. Notes: “Hands Up” was portrayed by first George Chesboro – who left midway through production to fight in the war – and then by George Larkin.
