"One of the more popular silent film serials to emerge from Europe during the first half of the Twentieth Century, Louis Feuillade's Fantomas (1913-14) stars René Navarre as the title character, the ""criminal lord"" of Paris, who succeeds at pulling off one dastardly crime after another via ruthless cunning and a swift ability to slip into whatever disguise best suits the moment. This box set contains all five installments of the Fantomas serial: Fantomas in the Shadow of the Guillotine (1913), Juve vs. Fantomas (1913), The Murderous Corpse (1913), Fantomas vs. Fantomas (1914), and The False Magistrate (1914)."
