- Synopsis
- On Earth, people are suddenly being killed by the Purple Death, a mysterious deadly infection so named because it leaves a purple spot on victims’ foreheads. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden and Dr Zarkov discover that this is being caused by a spaceship from Mongo spraying poison dust in the upper atmosphere. They immediately head to Mongo. Rejoining their old companion Prince Barin in Arboria, they journey to the frozen kingdom of Frigia to mine Polarite, the antidote to the Purple Death. They must then thwart Emperor Ming’s plans to conquer the universe and eliminate them.
