    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During the Vietnam War, American soldiers who were taken as Prisoners of War by the North Vietnamese were often interrogated and asked whom the American military leaders were. Reportedly, several POWs would respond with "Captain Video." The North Vietnamese interrogators, being unaware of the TV show, accepted this answer. This allowed the POWs to escape possible torture and avoid giving the identities of the real military leaders.
    • Quotes
      • Nargola: I said... take him to the greasing pits! Captain Video has delayed long enough. The pretense that he is here as our guest is over! The formula for protonic energy... or the Ranger's life! Let Captain Video make his choice!
