- Synopsis
- Restored by EYE Filmmuseum! The incredible 1915 Italian feminist-steampunk-jewel-thief thriller! Filibus, the legendary sky pirate, is a master of disguise and a scourge of banks and police alike. Flying high above the clouds in a dirigible, her henchman lower Filibus down in a gondola so she can steal from the rich and quickly fly away. However, the famed Detective Kutt-Hendy is now on her trail. Posing as the Baroness Troixmond, the jewel thief enters the magistrate’s office and volunteers to help in what would be her own capture, but instead, proclaims that the detective himself is Filibus! There follows a cat-and-mouse adventure including the glowing diamond eyes of an ancient Egyptian statue of Bastet, knockout powder, mysterious handprints, and where Filibus also poses as the aristocratic Count de la Brive to court the detective’s beautiful sister and plot the Detective’s downfall from within!
