The Great Adventures of Captain Kidd 1953 was the 52nd serial released by Columbia Pictures. It is based in the historical figure of Captain William Kidd.
This was the last costume serial and possibly the most faithful of the rare serial entries in the swashbuckling genre since Pirate Treasure.The plot was based on the possibility that the real Captain Kidd was misjudged in an unfair trial. ........
