Isle of Sunken Gold/De Brandende Vulkaan - 1927 - Lost Silent Series

Isle of Sunken Gold (1927), also known in Dutch as De Brandende Vulkaan, is a silent adventure film serial directed by Harry S. Webb. Set on a mysterious South Sea island, the story follows a daring sea captain who comes into possession of half a treasure map. The other half belongs to Princess Kala, the island’s noble ruler. Together, they face treacherous pirates, hidden dangers, and a monstrous fanged ape named Kong guarding the treasure deep within volcanic caverns. With exotic settings, perilous cliffhangers, and silent-era charm, the serial captures the spirit of early cinematic adventure. Though once believed lost, several chapters have been recovered and restored, preserving this rare piece of film history.
