An animated parody of the “thriller” serials of the silent film era. The intrepid hero Lucius and his sweetheart Zea run foul of a sinister band of robbers who are plotting to steal the hidden treasure in an ancient Mayan pyramid. Heroic rescues, overwhelming odds, and fates worse than death are all part of the plot.
