A DVD version of the serial was released on January 31, 2011 by the Serial Squadron. The missing soundtrack segments from Episodes 1, 6, 7 and 8 were recreated using music and audio from other, complete, episodes and missing dialogue was recreated by voice artists Rick Deacon (as Duke Cameron), Allyson Malandra (June Foster), Jeremy Scott (Red Kelly), Eric Stedman (Dexter & Arapaho Chief), Charles Leeder (Higby & Foster), Bill Thomas (Henry) and Bert Eliassen (Bill).

Chapter 11, originally entitled "Horror of Hades", had to be changed to "Cavern of Cremation" when the Hays Office (MPPDA - Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America) refused to permit the word "hell" or its alternatives to appear in a film (or chapter) title. It was changed and received Code Seal of Approval # 9051.

Eric Stedman served as the restoration director for the 2010 DVD release.
