A collection of photographs from the very short-lived NBC show 'Operation Neptune'. Included are shots of a miniature set, one shot in color, as well as possible models of sets, including the NBC control room. Also are three title cards, possibly used for the series. It ran from June 28, 1953 - August 16, 1953. M.C Brock was a co-creator on the show who also wrote for 'Captain Video' and 'Major Dell Conway of The Flying Tigers' on DuMont. Gen Genovese, who was involved in the latter series, also was involved with 'Operation Neptune'. The series starred Tod Griffin (1919 - 2002) as Commander Bill Hollister, who was also referred to as "Captain Neptune", and Richard Holland as Dink Saunders his young second in command. The heroes discovered that the disappearance of U. S. Navy ships was due to the evil Trychus Maximus (Humphrey Davis), ruler of Madiria an underwater kingdom "32,000 feet beneath the sea's surface" who wanted revenge against the surface world. The emperor of Nadiria gave orders to his sinister lieutenant Kebada (Harold Conklin), and his henchman Mersennus (Dehl Berti). Aiding Captain Neptune and Dink in their adventures were Admiral Bigelow (Rusty Lane), and Thirza (Margaret Stewart), a Nadirian who had allied herself with our heroes.
