Manhunt of Mystery Island (1945) is a Republic Movie serial. It was the thirty-sixth serial produced by Republic (of a total of sixty-six) and the first released in 1945.
It is the penultimate 15-chapter serial to be released by the studio. The year 1945, the end of the Golden Age of Serials, was the last in which Republic released any 15-chapter serials, the remainder being either 12- or 13-chapters in length.
In 1966 footage from the serial was edited together into the 100-minute film Captain Mephisto and the Transformation Machine.
Three of the serial's cliffhanger gags / set pieces are copied in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Dan Hammond, propriétaire d'une compagnie de diligences et citoyen influent du conseil, est secrètement opposé à ce que l'Idaho devienne un État — car la protection du gouvernement détruirait l'organisation qu'il a construite — et organise des raids contre des citoyens et des colons tout en cachant son identité de chef des bandits. Le marshal de la ville est sans pouvoir pour agir hors de sa juridiction passé les limites de la ville. Randolph Meredith, le propriétaire du journal de la ville, sous l'identité du Black Whip, s'oppose aux bandits mais finit par se faire tuer après avoir empêché une autre attaque.

Brick Bradford is assigned by the government to aid Doctor Gregor Tymak, scientist and inventor who is working on an "Interceptor Ray" that can destroy incoming rockets. Unfortunately, it can also be used as a death ray, bringing it to the attention of foreign spy agent Laydron. Tymak uses his door into the fifth dimension to escape criminals and it takes him to the far side of the Moon (which luckily has air and is a rocky terrain without craters). There he is captured and sentenced to die by freezing to absolute zero by the Queen Khana, despot of the Moon, because they do not believe he has come from the Earth.
