Project Detail

Captain Eager and the Mark of Voth

Synopsis

The surreal adventures of a damaged ray-gun hero questing through a B-Movie universe.

Square chinned Captain Eager, arrives in his wobbly Bakelite rocket, brought out of mothballs by the sprawling, hi-tech corporation Macro Space. The brief is to investigate a maverick ‘client’ – The villainous Colonel Regamun who has taken over the Veritan Sector using the ‘Mark of Voth’.

Aided by old pals Professor Moon, Scrutty and the love lorn Jenny, Eager rockets into B-Movie adventure unaware that it is all a set up. For Colonel Regamun is an enemy from the past craving revenge - and he is luring the brave yet clunky Captain to a final B-Movie showdown. But along the journey Eager learns to confront his monsters from the past and he triumphs by understanding that his enemy is human too.
