Fantasy Juvenile Serial (1936) 130 episodes, each about 13 minutes.

Magic Island tells the story of a mother, Mrs. Patricia Gregory, and her search for her lost daughter, Joan Gregory.

After a shipwreck in the South Seas, everyone on the ship, including Mrs. Gregory's husband and little one-year old, were believed lost - all except Mrs. Gregory. Fourteen years after her rescue, Mrs. Gregory still has not given up hope.

On an expedition led by Captain Tex Bradford, she sets off to find her daughter. Jerry Hall, a young man who has been very interested in her story, also accompanies Mrs. Gregory.

Joan has survived by living on a man-made, magic island that is so secretive, it can submerge under the water in order to evade exposure. The island is inhabited by mysterious beings.

The serial follows the expedition's attempts to find and rescue Joan, with Jerry as the point-of-view character for the juvenile audience.

This serial survives in its entirety, 130 chapters.
