Comedy - In a heroic blur of questionable management skills, Flash Gordon somehow ends up crowned King of the Caves—an honor apparently bestowed by the local Platypus Men, who are not nearly as adorable as their name suggests. Naturally, they celebrate by launching a surprise attack, presumably under the impression that a regal coup is a lovely ice-breaker. Once he’s done dusting off a few webbed footprints, Flash jaunts off and, in a wild turn of events, becomes King of Kira as well—only to face the equally inhospitable Lizard Men, who seem more interested in dethroning him than exchanging gecko care tips.Before anyone has a moment to question Flash’s rapidly ballooning monarchy portfolio, Queen Azura and her Magic Men swoop in, capturing Flash and Dale with all the flair of dramatic stage magicians. Azura doses Flash with the drug of forgetfulness, which promptly erases his memory and convinces him he’s destined to be Azura’s consort—a revelation Dale finds rather off-putting. Will Flash ever remember he’s supposed to be saving planets, rather than wooing slightly suspicious monarchs? Or is he doomed to remain the helpless leading man of Azura’s ironically named Magic Men? Only time—and a strong dose of anti-Whatever She Gave Him—will tell.Flash Gordon was played by Tom Konkle, later famous for nothing in particular. The cast also includes Rhiannon McAfee as Dale Arden, Gino C.

The series followed the strip very closely, amounting to a week-by-week adaptation of the Sunday strip for most of its run. Write us we would like to hear from you Support the show Lumen Actus Productions, Inc.
