Filled from front to back with stock footage taken from the Columbia serials "The Phantom-1943" and, primarily, "The Desert Hawk-1944", with John Hart and the always-dull Rick Vallin making less-than-adequate substitutes for Tom Tyler and Gilbert Roland, this Sam Katzman "production" finds the mighty jungle avenger and legendary Captain Africa - A "Phantom" rip-off that side-stepped the need to pay King Features another fee for using the character - pledging to see that the legitimate Arabian caliph, Hamid, is restored to the throne which a tyrannical rival has usurped. He is joined in this enterprise by adventurer Ted Arnold, wild-animal trapper Nat Coleman, and his assistant Omar and, to cover all bases, the Arabian princess Rhoda.

Review :

Wooden, silly, incoherent mish-mash.

An obvious knock-off of THE PHANTOM, using stock footage and possessing the bare minimum of plot (and THAT incoherent), THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN AFRICA is Columbia Serials at its worst. Terrible acting, bad stunt work, and heavy padding all add up fifteen chapters of pure junk that is just not worth wading through. For absolute die hard fanatic completists only.
