- The story was not dubbed for screening in any Spanish or Arabic language countries. But unlike Marco Polo and The Reign of Terror, the negatives of this serial were kept; logically, this serial should be missing...
- A print of part three was found in late 2011, but this was later discovered to be a dupe made from an existing print, so it therefore wasn't one that had been returned from an overseas station and later junked.
