Honoré Panisse is dying, cheerfully, with friends, wife, and son at his side. He confesses to the priest in front of his friends; he insists that the doctor be truthful. But, he cannot bring himself to tell his son Césariot that his real father is Marius, the absent son of César, Césariot's godfather. Panisse leaves that to Fanny, the lad's mother. Dissembling that he's off to see a friend, Césariot then seeks Marius, now a mechanic in Toulon. Posing as a journalist, Césariot spends time with Marius and leaves believing tales he is a petty thief. Only after the truth comes out can Marius, Fanny, César, and Césariot step beyond the falsehoods, benign though they may be.*Wikipedia*

The Phantom Creeps
A BLAZE OF DYNAMITE ACTION! Crashing...smashing...dashing through 12 spine-shivering chapters!
The Phantom Creeps is a 1939 serial about a mad scientist who attempts to rule the world by creating various elaborate inventions. In a dramatic fashion, foreign agents and G-Men try to seize the inventions for themselves.
Watch the Trailer!
This undistinguished cliffhanger, found Bela once again playing a mad scientist (Dr. Alex Zorka) out to control the world with advanced scientific wizardry, including the ability to become invisible and an 8 foot tall robot! Lots of stock footage to pad out the proceedings and little in the way of earnest emoting from the cast. THE PHANTOM CREEPS was also Lugosi's fifth and final serial.
