The shadow of a ruthless, mad dictator’s power casts itself over the nation and The Green Lama marshals his cohorts in a battle to the death against this secret menace led by a masked American who seeks the mantle of world dictator. The jade-robed Buddhist priest who battled crime as The Green Lama is back! Conceived in 1939 to compete with The Shadow, it was an outlandish concept. While The Shadow possessed the power to cloud men’s minds. The Green Lama relied on other, even weirder, powers — including the ability to become radioactive and electrically shock opponents into submission! He carried a traditional Tibetan scarf, which he employed to bind and befuddle opponents, and possessed a knowledge of vulnerable nerve centers which he put to good use in hand-and-hand combat. Om Mani Padme Hum! The Green Lama knows!
A masked American seeks world domination, forcing the jade-robed Green Lama and his allies into a desperate battle for the nation's survival. The Green Lama, a Buddhist priest with extraordinary abilities, must confront a ruthless dictator and his secret network. His powers include radioactivity, electrical shocks, and mastery of a Tibetan scarf for combat and incapacitation, alongside precise knowledge of vulnerable nerve centers. The narrative framework appears to be a classic pulp adventure, likely episodic and focused on direct confrontation with the villain's schemes.
This story presents a classic pulp adventure narrative, characteristic of the era in which it was conceived as a competitor to 'The Shadow'. The premise sets up a clear conflict between a uniquely powered hero and a villainous mastermind with global ambitions. The inclusion of esoteric powers and combat techniques suggests a focus on action and exoticism, typical of the genre. The narrative likely emphasizes the hero's struggle against overwhelming odds and the mysterious nature of his abilities.
