Doc Watson

Doc Watson is an evil, green-skinned doctor who runs the Watson Sanitarium. One afternoon, as Cal Martin and Doris Dalton enjoy a picnic deep in the country, a wild man interrupts them, flinging himself off a cliff. The couple change into their alter egos Rocketman and Rocketgirl and save him. Doc Watson appears to help, but the wild man, a Mr. Thomas, dies from the strain of madness. Doc Watson attempts to kill the heroes. A fight ensues and Rocketgirl is captured. Rocketman flies to the sanitarium to rescue her, but he is captured, as well. Watson reveals his plot to inject rich men with a potion that drives them mad, and to provide an antidote only if they sign their will over to his sanitarium. The heroes free themselves and defeat the doctor and his lookalike minions.
