Superhero action with Freddy Freeman, who gains the same powers as his hero Captain Marvel, better known these days as Shazam.

As Freddy tries to shut down Captain Nazi's black market in stolen British goods, he's aided by a mysterious phantom who resembles Sherlock Holmes. Plus a teaser ad for Mary Marvel that just shows her silhouette alongside the Captains Marvel.
