Brick Bradford (1947)

Soldier-of-fortune and time-machine traveler Brick Bradford is hired to protect the Interceptor Ray, an anti-guided missile weapon. His task takes him to the Moon, where he is captured by subjects of Queen Khana, but is spared because Queen Khana rather likes him. Back on earth, Brick, Sandy, and June get into The Time To (Brick's spinning time-machine) and spin back to the 18th century, where they must fight off pirates and island natives. Brick finally traps the villain after the Interceptor Ray and world peace are assured.
