Captain Celluloid vs. the Film Pirates (Silent)

Captain Celluloid battles the evil Master Duper and his criminal gang, the League of Film Pirates, who plan to hijack copies of classic films, copy them and sell them to desperate film collectors all over the world.

Uh-oh! The complete, uncut negative of Erich von Stronheim's silent masterpiece Greed has just been discovered and The Master Duper, king of the Film Pirates, is out to swipe it and pirate copies. Who can thwart his plan? You guessed it Captain Celluloid, guardian of rare movie treasures, of course. CAPTAIN CELLULOID is a letter-perfect homage to the old Republic cliff-hanger serials, it has fun with the genre while playing it perfectly straight. Presented as a silent serial with intertitles and a pulse pounded musical soundtrack which will be recognizable to many serial fans.
