The Adventures of Cyclone Malone
The Adventures of Cyclone Malone was essentially a puppet show take on The Perils of Pauline.
Presented in traditional cliffhanger fashion, the show followed
danger-seeking hero Cyclone Malone as he attempted to rescue his
sweetheart Cosy from the clutches of such villains as The Lizard. When
his missions were complete, he would sing heartfelt devotions of
everlasting love to his sweetie.
The Los Angeles-based show was created by Ann Davis and Dorothy
Novis at KNBH (KNBC) in 1949. The shows were available in 15 and 30
minute episodes, but regardless of the length, The Adventures of Cyclone Malone
packed enough puppet-powered action to keep young viewers glued to
their sofas, anxiously awaiting the next thrilling installment.
