[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] what's that mr. Howell I don't know Billy let's find out what do you make of that symbol Malcolm I don't know how does it mean anything to you tell shitali the men of the hills are gathering this simple says that the white men are to be driven from the battery of two minutes lieutenant [Music] close the stockade gate man the machine guns yes sir once escaped take your places man the guy [Music] come on Betty this may be serious [Music] [Music] [Music] what causes mr. tag the legend Tuan no white man shall desecrate the valley of tomes that is not the true legend when there's desecration Scorpio will erupt see for yourself there is no eruption you have spilled blood without reason return to your people and counsel them to a way to sign from Scorpio show be as you say Tuan the true legend must not be violated the white man must live there is a curse which says that any white man that enters the valley of torm shall die he's coming back it looks as if tell shitali was successful I hope so [Music] as they attack over who are they what do they want we do not be attacked again if we stop our work in the tombs and depart but are these days and permits are in order the chief warns but no permit will protect us from the curse of the scorpion if we enter the inner tool the only reason I financed this expedition was to examine the contents of that tomb surely you're not gonna be stopped by a native curse it's superstitious nonsense that's what everybody said about the curse of King Tut's tomb but a lot of them died we'll handle this Billie will open the tomb at once we strike camp in the morning and be well on our way before there is any further danger from the natives wetsuits you tell Jo dolly I wish our danger came only from the natives you don't take this curse to the Scorpion seriously believe me gentlemen there is a curse of the scorpion nonsense will be seeing ghosts next let's get to it when you uncle I'll get these specimens back to camp we'll be glad to [Music] [Music] why there's an inscription here can you translate it totally yes I can translate it [Music] it says that for proposes behind this stone remain hidden from the eyes of mankind for all time by the secret of the scorpion dynasty must lie beyond this wall perhaps it would be wise not to learn what that secret is that's ridiculous well I think mr. Taos or Talia's right Lazar robbing a grave right now afraid really no sir I just want to pry it anybody's secrets I'll go into these passes to remove that pottery for you but I don't want any part of this very well [Music] Beauty Batson is the wisest one among us I think I shall follow his example if I may be excused yes did you like [Music] look the scorpion why it's not a tomb at all [Music] what on earth is it oh that's hard to say are they the lenders of a sort they're probably a few quarts of some kind well if this is the dreaded secret of this Scorpion dynasty it seems to be quite harmless now [Music] sunlight seems to have something to do with it why these lenses are adjustable yeah bring them all into focus [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I am Shan my name is all is known to me your name is Billy Batson you did not pry into the secret of the scorpion that is why I am here where did you come from part of the past my son down through the ages to guard the secret of the scorpion you've been alive all these years but you call life return to me when your friends die only to the to mother scorpion what they meant no harm then they should obey the inscription on the tomb a harm has been done it is your duty to see that the curse of the scorpion is not visited upon innocent people my duty yes so long as the golden scorpion may fall into the hands of selfish men it is the duty of Captain Marvel to protect the innocent from its evil use but who is Captain Marvel you are my son all that is necessary is to repeat my name Shezan by its repetition you will become Captain Marvel to take on the virtues you see recorded there the wisdom of Solomon the strength of Hercules the stamina of Atlas the power of Zeus the great courage of Achilles and the speed of mercury you must never call upon this power except in the service of right to do so would bring the scorpions curse upon your own head and now my son repeat my name and return to the rescue of your Shazaam [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh sure Malcolm you alright huh yes there's a concussion from the explosion what cost him that device me [Music] quick call the others we've got to get Lange and Fisher up to camp you'll bring the Scorpion take care of the scroll Bentley it is set forth here that a certain arrangement of the lenses will transmute any substance placed in front of the base lens to pure gold that's impossible czars like rubbish domain we can soon find out show us how to arrange the lenses there Billy bring me is several stones it placed them on the ground [Music] is step back please [Music] [Applause] platers gold the purest I've ever seen only the sun's rays is needed to create it if we only knew the formula for making those lenses what difference does that make we've got these gentlemen do you realize that this golden scorpion makes us the richest and most powerful group in the world too rich and too powerful are you suggesting that we destroy the scorpion think of its scientific value I am thinking of that what are you propose that the lenses be distributed among us then another take the scorpion itself and in that way the device could never be used without the consent of all four what about the sprawl the scorpion is useless without it i suggest that billy batson be entrusted with the scroll nobody so young how and this is of such vast importance nevertheless Billy is probably the only one among us who can't translate it but mr. Howell I with I think mr. hollows plan is excellent counter Charlie will you disassemble the lenses please mr. Fisher mr. carlyle mr. Bentley dr. Liang mr.

Fisher I tried to Billy did all he could mr. Fisher and you might remember that his efforts are also for your benefit my benefit please let's not lose our tempers yes gentlemen we mustn't get rattled howl and kalila both dead and each of us can look forward to the same violent end as long as the Scorpion remains unknown and at large you're quite right but the problem still remains what are we going to do destroy the remaining lenses and deprive the world of the most revolutionary device in history I can never agree to that I'm sorry to be so late but I believe I've made an important discovery the sign of the Scorpion where did you get it at Carlisle's I was going through his study in the hope of finding a clue and found this on the floor what do you make of it lying I know only one man in this country who might have such a collection is Chandler the oriental curio dealer if Chandler has such a collection the Scorpion must have got this from him but suppose this channel is working for the Scorpion in that case if one of us goes to a shop to investigate lonely put him on his guard Billy could go no one would suspect him that's fine with me I'll go right now I wanted to go downtown mr. Malcolm if you don't need me anymore I certainly Betty run along where you headed for Betty I got the license number of that truck the scorpions men were in yesterday I walked around the motor vehicle department to find out who the owner is good you get all the dope you can and we'll talk it over when I get back from chance [Music] that was close wonder if that was deliberate wait here [Music] [Music] I'm beginning to wonder about him me too but we'll have to wait till we get divided with these clues [Music] [Music] Chandler yeah you startled me our again the pattern what can I do fine you recognize this what subtly ready together I found it could you sell it to never my collection is intact this must be an imitation are you sure well to end all doubts suppose we go down to the vault check through the collection all right [Music] [Music] [Applause] time up and get lock him in the ball I'll pump on it if you said you already got him [Music] mr.

Malcolm but I have something very important to say to you every time we have a meeting the Scorpion and his men know all our plans it does seem that way it is that way the last time we met town shitali showed us a miniature which he said he found dr. lime said it might have come from the shop of Chan Lau in Chinatown the chan laos shop i was attacked by the scorpions men and i wouldn't be here right now if Captain Marvel hadn't rescued me you'll all this is very disturbing but do you think you should discuss it in the presence of an outsider this man happens to be one of the Scorpions man one of you gentlemen should know [Music] do you mean to imply that the Scorpion is here yes right here in this room [Music] this man's only seen the Scorpion masked but he knows his voice he can identify it young man are you serious sod rageous utterly ridiculous all right Owens you've heard them all speak now is one of them the scorpion [Music] I don't know but you said you could recognize the scorpions voice donate them sound like them [Music] I can't I thought I could but I can't [Music] you've only succeeded in in something assault billing and making a fool of yourself by quite agreement all right Fisher all the clumsy glove I'm terribly sorry mr. Malcolm I really thought don't let it bother you village only don't be so impulsive next time I'll see that the whole thing is smoothed over before the next meeting thanks mr. Malcolm go on you what are you going to do with this man since he won't tell us who the Scorpion there's only one thing left to do and I notify the police wait a minute don't call the cops I'll tell you where I saw the scorpion all right I'm listening he has a hideout in the old Harrison mine where is this mine can we get there today sure it's back in the Hills I'll tell you where it is tell me where it is you're gonna show me where it is I'll call you whenever I get some information [Music] [Music] everything ready we got your message and work fast is the trap working alright just tested can't miss good young Batson will never know what hit him but what about Captain Marvel he seems to appear everytime Batson's in trouble don't worry about it I also have plans for our friend Captain Marvel but the power of these lenses I can turn the inside of his mountain into molten rock no one not even Captain Marvel can survive that is how my plan will be carried out [Music] that's it over there [Music] keep walking Owens don't make any breaks [Music] [Music] what's the matter I don't like this hi go ahead [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] Shazam [Music] so you're the Skorpion expected to find me here didn't you yes but I don't believe you expected me in the country I'm prepared to receive you properly I've waited a long time for this opportunity and I'm gonna find out who you are right now I'm sorry to disappoint you but you won't learn my identity now or ever they were fairly trapped my friend there are several hundred feet of solid rock all around you and if you try to escape they'll find not solid rock but molten rock focus the beam directly into the mouth of the tunnel [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] focus the beam directly into the mouth of the time [Music] [Music] [Music] that's the end of Captain Marvel [Music] [Applause] [Music] now that captain marvel is out of our way we have no difficulty in getting the rest of the lenses it'd be essentially only knew where they were I expect to find that out very soon furthermore after the meeting this afternoon no one will ever suspect that I was one of the Malcom expedition when the lenses were found in the tomb of the Scott [Music] Cham [Music] it's a message from the scorpion operator can you trace that call [Music] person speaking for the Scorpion hung up it couldn't be traced what was the message is it a tune on shortwave band 16 at 4 o'clock well it's almost that now she didn't get that band whitey [Music] this is the scorpion speaking to the members of the Malcolm scientific expedition I am now reporting that I've obtained all the lenses I seek but one hour lenses he must have rifle I am warning all the members of that group to try in no way to recover the lenses or to interfere with me in obtaining the last one it will mean death I can hardly believe it [Music] the Scorpion must have stolen all those lenses from where they were hidden currently mine was the only lens he wasn't able to get his fans I suggest we check Zaman the places where we get our lenses and search for clues a good idea that started once [Music] [Music] I sure wish Billy I'd show up so do I boy am I glad you got here or mr. Malcolm and the others I thought there was a meeting scheduled today well I was we had a radio message in the Skorpion saying that he had all the lenses but one and mr. Fisher mr. Bentley rushed away to see the scorpion left any clues I don't understand it I'm sure the Scorpion is one of this group there must be a trick of some kind no but I don't see why you would I get it the Scorpion sent that message to the men addressed right to the place their lenses were hidden you mean the lenses might not have been stolen exactly that was a trick to make them reveal the hiding places I'm writing we've got to get moving I'm heading for Bentley's new drive over to warn Fisher I'll meet you there later so long Eddie [Music] [Music] good afternoon mr. Bedley not known [Music] [Music] my tie [Music] that lens must be here [Music] I've got it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] mr. Bentley mr. Bentley mr. Bentley [Music] they got mr. Bentley's lambs [Music] [Applause] [Music] whereas mr.

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)

Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi [USA:Passed, 3 h 36 min]
Tom Tyler, Frank Coghlan Jr., William 'Billy' Benedict, Louise Currie
Directors: John English, William Witney

IMDb rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 7.6/10 (768 votes)

On a scientific expedition to Siam young Billy Batson is given the ability to change himself into the super-powered Captain Marvel by the wizard Shazam, who tells him his powers will last only as long as the Golden Scorpion idol is threatened. Finding the idol, the scientists realize it could be the most powerful weapon in the world and remove the lenses that energize it, distributing them among themselves so that no one would be able to use the idol by himself. Back in the US, Billy Batson, as Captain Marvel, wages a battle against an evil, hooded figure, the Scorpion, who hopes to accumulate all five lenses, thereby gaining control of the super-powerful weapon.
