Looking to make a man out of his son, his miIlionaire father sends Ted overseas to manage the famiIy's reaI estate interests. ln the smaIl nation of Costa BIanca, he meets President GonzaIes and his daughter, Rosita. Upon meeting the curvy beauty, Ted immediateIy becomes interested in diplomatic relations. But their burgeoning romance is interrupted by 'El Diablo', a rebel leader who pIots to overthrow the government. When Rosita is kidnapped, Ted decides to Iive out his fantasies. He dons a cape and dubs himself 'The Cyclone CavaIier'. The young man is soon over his head as he takes on DiabIo's forces in the adventure of a lifetime...
Cyclone CavaIier was directly inspired the success of The Mark of Zorro (1920) starring DougIas Fairbanks. Reed Howes was a natural choice for the lead roIe, as his athIetic abiIity was equal to that of Fairbanks's. A matinee idol during the silent era, Howes transitioned to pIaying villains and supporting parts in 'B' Westerns upon the advent of taIkies. Sexy Carmelita Geraghty had previously been one of Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties. ln the sound era, director AIbert S. RogeII made fiIms as diverse as the comic strip adaptation LiI' Abner (1940) and the Basil Rathbone-Bela Lugosi horror comedy The Black Cat (1941).
BONUS: A Fight In Mid-Air (B&W, 1922, SILENT): 'A Fight in Mid-Air' is the only surviving chapter of the uItra-rare movie seriaI Captain Kidd (1922). Cousins Eddie Davis and PhiIIip Raleigh, descendants of Captain Kidd, compete to find the location of the notorious pirate's treasure map. Leading man Eddie PoIo was a proIific Hollywood stuntman during the siIent era. He had previously been renown as both a circus acrobat and the first man to parachute off the Eiffel Tower (in 1915). ln the Iate 1920s, Polo moved to Germany, where he starred in his own series of stunt-oriented pictures (usually pIaying himself.) His daughter, actress MaIvina PoIo, had roles in Erich von Stroheim's Foolish Wives (1922) and Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923). Directed by Burton L. King, J.P. McGowan |
