It gets better. The villains use enormous suction machines to draw lighting down from the sky into special conduits and storing it in immense copper spheres.
The henchmen use paralysis rods, that have thin wires attached to them, but its never explained what the other end of the wire is attached to. Men are driven mad with visions of amoeba and paramecium projected onto their retinas by super-magnifying 'metallic' contact lens.
Ooo. How is this for an explanation? '"These cars are a type of Super-Diesel, which draws nearly all of its energy from the stratosphere. "'

This isn't even pseudo science. Its nonsense.
Much of the action takes place in a quarry beneath a sanitarium named 'Cragsrock'. Which is all blown up by the bad guys during the final scenes.
Tres gothic, tres dramatique...
On the other hand, theres a plot to discredit Savage via impersonation by Andrus Davidson, a 'unsuccessful actor', and the whole scheme to take over the world is masterminded by his 'plump' sister Jane Davidson.
