"Panther Girl of the Kongo" is a 12-chapter serial from Republic Pictures.
Phyllis Coates plays Jean the Panther Girl, an anthropologist in Africa.
Her work is interrupted by the sudden appearance of giant lobster monsters.
The "claw monsters" are created from ordinary crawfish by a crooked scientist...
...who wants to chase the local natives away from his illegal diamond mine.
Jean summons her adventurer friend Larry Sanders (Myron Healy) to help fight the monsters.
The special effects were created by Howard and Theodore Lydecker.
"Panther Girl of the Kongo" was the next-to-last serial produced by Republic.
It used extensive stock footage from their 1941 serial "Jungle Girl."
A 100-minute edit was released to television with the title "The Claw Monsters."
