The audacious gang known as the 'India-Rubber Men' mount a series of bank robberies which continue to baffle the police. Between them Inspector Elk and Inspector John Wade of the river police follow a twisted trail of danger which leads them to the solution and the unmasking of the villain in charge.
There are scenes of hidden cellars in which victims are trapped and the rooms them flooded and there is poison gas pumped into a policeman's bedroom during the night. Also many other thrills along the way. By the way the India-Rubber men are so called because in the pursuit of their criminal activity they are clothed in rubber coats and they wear gas-masks. My only real criticism of this exciting tale is that the admittedly explosive ending was a little rushed. ( )
