Just go to youtube and on search you just type mysterious doctor satan. You will have to do some scrolling and looking but all 15 episodes are there generally divided in two parts (one 10 min and the other about 6 to 7 minutes).

This is great news. These type of seriels were usually shown on Saturdays along with double features (one usually a western) in the 30s, 40s & early 50s. They usually had 12 to 15 parts with the first episode to get things starting lasting about 25 to 30 minutes with the remaining episodes lasting about 16 to 17 minutes. At the end of each episode except the final one the hero was always in a jam and you had to come back next week to see how he got out of it.

If you ever see a seriel let this one be it. Most were good but this is one of the gems. Edward Cianelli is great as Dr. Satan who plans to conquer the world with robots and Robert Wilcox is very good as the hero Copperhead (Bob Wayne). It has lots of action, good acting and great music background. Enjoy!
