Re: cinemas

I have a question about The Saturday Morning Club at the Odeon.... did I dream this, or was there a serial shown about a Native American head that was kept in a bag and could work magic? I seem to remember it being called Chico Rainbow, or something like that. Does anyone remember that, or have a made it all up?
