A silent four chapter serial made in 1969 in the flavor of the classic Republic serials of the 1940's. The complete uncut negative of Eric von Stroheim's "Greed" is discovered. The Master Duper, the supreme film pirate, is out to swipe it and sell copies to film collectors. Captain Celluloid, guardian of rare movie treasures, is committed to thwarting this crime.
